Cant understand why not.

It will be a watershed moment, the most important departure in the clubs history.

You see, as soon as he leaves this club can move on. I cant guarantee success on the back of it but I can guarantee more proffessionalism and players who apply themselves properly.

I cant wait.

yeah but can you guarantee a player that is actually any good ...??

because his last two half back partners have been as bad as your ever going to see in Warrington colours. But people like you choose to ignore that....

no doubt you'll wee yourself when the 31 year old Matt orford is announced as Briers Replacement .....

he'll give us one good year, will not take up his second year option due to injury/old age/homesickness and will be lifted on the shoulders of the players while an adoring south stand chant his name and thank him eternally for the 22 games he played.....

Who are you? Tony Smith? Those things are down to the coach and/or club management to dictate. What Briers guaranteed us was a halfback who could really deliver - one who could create things few others could and as had many, many great games for us including our most recent match.

Replacing that is NOT going to be easy - apart from 18 months from Langer and 3 games from Johns, we've failed to provide any one decent for him to play alongside in 12 years. Look at Wigans repeated failed attempts to sign halfbacks. It is not easy. Going to be a BIG hole to fill.
