Very often, when speaking to newspapers or in radio interviews, coaches are not necessarily speaking with fans in mind, and can speak with forked tongue!

He as been on one of Sir Alex's new management courses, but if you have to deal with players agents I would go for more of a hay fork. In the old days a gentlemen would swiftly deal with these vermin with both barrels of his Purdy!

Briers has apparently stated he may leave Warrington at the end of the season and has already spoken to a couple of clubs. Great player but would we , at his age, have any need for him?

If Addy's gone then as halfback cover for a year then assistant coach?

Would be a good appointment.

Although I'm not a fan of his Lee Briers is one of the best players in the league

If his heart was in it Briers would be a cracking team leader, providing he could stay fit.

Assume he would not be expecting to be in the starting 13 - so could control his game time and hopefully his fitness. Not quite the legendary status of the "Beaver" but a mountain of experience to bring to the table.

AFAIK we aren't talking to any new recruits from warrington.

Trust you to come and be the buzzkill mat

Briers has signed a 1 year contract @ Warrington
