"Whatever the thinking behind the selection for this game, coaches and players throughout English union would do well to beg, borrow or steal the television footage of last weekend's rugby league match between Huddersfield and Warrington. Regular readers will be aware of my love for the "other" code and also know that I am ever willing to learn from other sports. What I saw from the comfort of my armchair was a master-class from Lee Briers, the Warrington stand-off. Far more than most players in any form of rugby, he understands how to use the space around him, and with his technical attributes – running and passing, along with highly-developed kicking skills, both short and long – he creates havoc when he is on the ball." |

I actually think i'll have a tear rolling down my face when he retires, he'll be talked about when i'm a pensioner, "ah but you didn't see Lee Briers play, he was a genius"
I think most peoples appreciation of Lee will go up when he's gone, really is one of the top players of his generation and almost certainly a Wire legend.

Its a shame he played in some awful Warrington teams earlier in his career, an also maybe he had some coaches that were a little too relaxed with him.
I remember when we won the Challenge Cup in 2009 an I still say today that that winners medal meant more to him than any other player...... There must have been times when he thought he'd never have one. |

I hope he knows he has a few more year left, with a smart fitness regime and a careful use of his appearances, he could give us another 3-5 years.

I am serious when I say, I think he deserves a statue. Probably more like the Cunnigham one at sts, than the Bevan one. Maybe they should have left a spot ready for it when they were extending the stadium.

I'll be crying with you mate, always remember those days when you'd get to a game, realise Briers wasn't playing and just fear the worst, the guy is a legend. |

I just hope nothing daft happens when he retires, like him becoming Wigan/Saints coach at some level. I'd be sick.

Mark, there are an awful lot of people on this Site who will not have seen The Wire BB (before Briers). |

Still never been forgiven by Wigan fans for all those drop goals in the 1986 Premiership Semi Final (was it five?). |

When I started watching the halfbacks were Willie Aspinall and Parry Gordon. Bishop's dad was playing for Saints then! Bish wasn't even a twinkle in his Dad's eye.
I was 10 by the way. Good St Thomas' C of E lad. |

Indeed and me and I have never seen anyone in the P&B with as much creative ability as Lee Briers. If he hadn't played for us I think his reputation would have been even higher.
A true great of the game if you ask me and considering what I see going on in junior and youth rugby we will not see the like of him again. |

Am I the only one who looks at Lee and thinks he's one of the game's great underachievers?
Outrageously skilled player with so many attributes that are 'rare' in the modern game, you do wonder what Lee would have done had he had a coach like Smith around for 10 years or so. Scary.

You'd think someone like GO'B would be schooled by Briers to help turn him into the next great white hope.
