It didn't look good fingers crossed its not too bad.

He played on after the injury and then went down when play stopped. Hopefully its only a knock as he had an ice pack on it.

I was close to where he was lay receiving treatment and the injury was not on the joint , so it could be a nasty knock and nothing more.

his ankle twisted awkwardly in the tackle, and was heavily iced when in the stands

just goes to show how good this bloke is. his injury was the turning point no doubt. if he's out for a while god help us.

Myler really needs to step up now, maybe Grix will go to the halves if Briers is out for a while

Briers has been an unsung hero for years, passed over with no good reason for international duty time and time again.

One of the best players in Super League, and I do think that if he hadn't picked up that injury, the scoreline would have been reversed or even worse.

Wigan and Warrington, on their current form, with fully-fit squads, I honestly couldn't say who would win. But tonight's match was certainly a classic and has set the bar high for the rest of the season.

Just seen the replay and it doesn't look good. Think he could be out for at least a week or two.

Definitley the turning point .

Thought to myself as he limped off ''If they come back now, it shows how much we need Lee''

As you said though. FINGERS CROSSED.

Quote from Tony Smith on sky says it's ankle ligament damage...least 3 weeks out I reckon!

He's never been good enough to play internationally though. His best and most influencial performances have come in the later years of his career. Early on when he should have been in the reckoning he wasn't consistent enough, although that was possibly because the 16 around him weren't good enough. Tommy Martyn barely touched the international arena either and he was a lot better than Briers until he retired. Tomkins is the obvious choice these days though.

Great

Coupled with the fact that we (Wigan) switched Deacon and Tommy to 9 and 7 respectivley.

Either way, you'll hope he's not out for to long, he's the lynch pin of your team, and you could suffer big time with him out.

incorrect the turning point came not from his injury but came at the point roughly the same time where Deacon switched with Leuleui with Deacon taking over at 9.

Regards his injury i would be very surprised if it was a break, but he will certainly have ligament damage which could be worse than a break regards time off, especially at his age.

Ok.

Link?

briers on crutches dont look good ,just have to get on with it and bounce back next week .top game last night ,at home 16 4 up shouldnt be losein ,every one blamin ref ,we lost and thats that move on .well done wigan

Definitely the turning point when Briers went off, and largely because our kicking game went to pieces! A lot of them were straight down the throat of the winger or full back giving them all the territory.

agreed

We need him back, asap.

Whilst he's absent, we're looking at one of Grix & V.Anderson stepping into the halves really.

Please don't move Monas.

Monaghan can play at 6 with Higham at no.9, this shouldnt cause too many problems.

Don't put him back in the halve at all cost, not least because he's quality at hooker, as he was last night.

I'd look at Grix or Vinnie as a better option at stand off. If Hicks was fit, Mathers even.

but monas is alot more effective at 9 than higham, like jwp say`s i can't see smith moving monas and we'll probably go with grix or vinnie at 6.

you'll change the whole shape of the side with that, too much disruption.

Grix to 6, but with more responsibility.
