Of the 1987 team, is there anyone in todays team that could replace any of them.

Yes, but who would you remove to take his place. No way would it be Roberts, so you would take out Rathbone.

Does anybody remember why Anderson put Briers at Fullback?

Were we that short of full backs or was it something other than crap coaching.

In isolation I dont think any of those 3 players were / are crap. Just when they pulled on a Warrington shirt which is a bigger mystery than who took Shergar?

You know what, I cant remember that team from 87 feeling sorry for themselves for half a dozen games after they had run Wigan close like we now do when we have played saints.

Playing Briers at full back was good on 10th January 2002 as he scored 16 points when we beat St Helens 48-4.

Quote from the time..
21st February 2002..

The Wire are hoping to muscle Saints out of the Challenge Cup on Saturday, Steve Anderson has 13 players in his train on squad for the game who can play in the forwards,Dale Cardoza is a surprise omission from the squad.Lee Briers is set to continue at full back a position he is quite happy to play he says " the new role I have is similar to what I have done before,peole have to realise it's not fullbacks standoffs and halfbacks in Ando's way." They are all similar,we want pivotal roles and if that means playing at fullback so that Steve can get someone else into a pivotal role then so be it.

" In this role I am only fullback when we are in defence,in attack I'm up there and organising like usual so to me there's not much dlfference." Tom O'Reilly at standoff captain Matt Rodwell at scrumhalf,Jon Clarke at hooker and Sid Domic at loose forward.It's Rob Smythe on one wing with Leon Felton and David Alstead in contention for the other.Centres will come from either Lee Penny David Kedwell or Steve Madden.
