Briers was great tonight, i think all the rumours should stop i cant see Tony Smith letting him go anywhere.

Taking nothing away from your win, but nobody played world-class. Your players looked so good because we were so utterly and disgracefully appalling.

But yet you've just contradicted yourself straight away in that post.

Briers had a very good game tonight. Churlish to argue otherwise. We rely on him.

Exactly. I put a big post on here recently stating that I think he'll get a new deal, and under Smith, Briers will have an Indian Summer, Sean Long style, where he'll change his game slughtly and get us around the field. If Briers could find this level consitantly, you wouldn't even look for a new halfback, it's Briers+1.

He was involved in everything, must have got at least 5 try assists tonight, awesome.

He controlled the game tonight and created more than Monas and Bridge did in two games over the easter holidays

Eddie suggested Briers as the new captain, but Iestyn Harris disagreed with him.

Cheers.


I'm not being negative or anything like that, I'm delighted with Lee's performance, and the team's performance, too. But I don't get overly excited by one game and bring out the 'world class' phrases and so on. Let's hope we finally pick ourselves up now and develop some kind of good consistency in our performances; what better way to start?

It was a very good performance from Briers....However, its fair to say his whole Wire career has been littered with displays like this, and more often than not he follows it up with an annoymous performance in a match where he actually has to produce the goods in order for Wire to be successful.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I don't see how this performance holds any more significance in Briers' future.

Bit like the tale of 'Cry Wolf'...

Lee Briers last three SL performances for Warrington have been exceptional, it's just a shame that in between, without him we've lost two games. He's actually in form right now, not inconsistant as folk are making out.

Correct, and hopefully this is due to working for a new coach who will not put up with any crap.

Pretty much every time he touches the ball it is class.

His kicking was much better tonight too.
