Rubbish rubbish rubbish.

Briers is (rumoured to be) the bad egg and should be gotten rid of for the sake of the team, the club and the fans. We can win games without him, we've done it before and we'll do it again. We rely faaaaar too heavily on that man considering he is so inconsistent. Why should he be given (for the want of a better phrase) diplomatic immunity from the consequences of his behaviour just because occasionally he decides to have a good game? The sooner that man is out of the club and we bring in a consistent, good quality '6' the better.

That is completely over the top. What evidence do you have?

As I said at the start: "rumoured". If a rumour had evidence it would be a fact.

The sudden recent departures would suggest that there is some truth to the rumours that are flying about. Everyone, right down to the commentators on the game yesterday, mentioned there being some truth to the 'bad culture' stories.

Briers is not the answer. We've relied on him for years and where have we got? When are the blinkered Briers-ites going to realise that he's doing nothing for us that another '6' couldn't and someone would probably be more consistent about it.

We have had no idea for the last two games attacking wise whatsoever and therefore should get rid of our most creative player as soon as possible!

A good quality 6 hey? We should just get one of them of the abundant pile of quality half backs knocking around shall we? Why has nobody else thought of that?

Yes we do need to look for a replacement, for next season. As it stands if we offloaded LB we wouldn't have a half back in the squad. Monas has to go first.

Don't let your personal hatred come into it or anything. Briers has the talent of that there is no doubt. I think his past reputation just follows him around and people like you just wont let it go.

You know what? You're absolutely right. We should continue to rely on a player who, once every blue moon, has a good game and that's only when he not warming a north stand seat injured. Let's continue to rely on a player who is getting on a bit and leave ourselves in a situation where we've no replacement. That's the smart thing to do.

We should be doing a la Saints and blooding a replacement (like Eastmond). If we haven't got one then we should be looking to recruit one as soon as possible. We're not winning without Briers but we're not bl00dy winning with him either and haven't been very successful in the years he's been at the club so what on earth makes you think he's the answer now? If he hasn't been in all these years he certainly isn't going to win us a trophy now at 31 years of age.

Briers has proved on many occasions that we do not fire on all cylinders when he is not playing, hence I think he has had diplomatic immunity in the team . Problem he has now is that Smith won't stand for it . If and only if this weekends dropping from the team was down to discipline well well done to Smith.

Briers's reputation doesn't follow him he creates it . time and time again
