Running off the field to sit in the stand after scoring against Bradford (I think). Summed him up nicely..genuine talent, great entertainer, major pain in the opposition's butt.

Let's not retire him off just yet. He's just announced he is going to have a crack at the Four Nations next season with Wales and hasn't even ruled out playing in the 2013 World Cup. As long as we keep a quality squad around him that can keep us in the right half of the field most of the time and hence reduce his physical workload, I think he can carry on for a bit yet. He's just such an intelligent player, he reads the game like no-one else. On several occasions I've got him to explain things that have happened on the field and it's amazing to get his view of what happened and why.

It was a pleasure to assist him in his Testimonial season as a member of his committee and great to get to know better off the field. Lots of negative things have been said about him but having spent quite a bit of time with him over an almost 18 month period, I found him to be a decent bloke and proud family man. And very committed to his rugby and particularly Warrington which as a St Helens lad you've got to admire!

I'm so chuffed he hasn't ended his career without success and seeing him and Adrian Morley lifting the cup in 2009 was an amazing experience. I know he didn't perhaps make the most of his talent when he was younger but has matured in recent years really deserves the success of the last two years - it would be great if he can add a SL winners ring!

One thing is for sure - we are going to miss him when he does finally hang up the boots, he is a fine player who provides loads of magic moments and I'm not ready to give up enjoying them just yet. He has certainly been one of Wire's all time legends.

Pretty much what SEB and Sally said. Legend status can already be afforded to him. One of the best half-backs this country has produced in recent times, and for whatever reason never got a proper GB shot. We'd have turned the Aussies over with him directing a team round the park, of that i have no doubt

Not just his rugby, but also the way he responds to his young fans. Seen him give his boots away a couple of times and at Wembley went to the disabled lad in the wheelchair. A genuine good guy.

Up until last year he would have been remembered as a nearly man. Nearly got to the Challenge Cup final with Saints, only to be dropped for a better player. Nearly made it at Saints heading into their most successful period, only to be sold in favour of better players. Nearly made Warrington a trophy winning side only for successive coaches to fail to capitalise on the potential.

It had a movie worthy beaten man story attached to it until Huddersfield went and ruined it by knocking Saints out in the semi the other year.

Now he'll probably retire a Wire legend with potentially three or four major trophies under his belt. I always thought he'd end his career in controversial style such was his wildness as a youth and his Gazza-esque ticking time bomb nature. But to his credit he seems to have sorted that side out as well.

Legend

Some really great posts, I think all the great moments have been captured.

A massive failure.

A beady-eyed massive failure.

What about the four drop goals at Wigan? That was a special game for me, broke a jinx. Would be nice to end the Saints one in a similar way.

a gamebreaker,a great servant,a precocious talent,i wish he was 24 years old again,the word legend is often over used but he will go down as one especially after next season.

He's been my favourite player for years. And I, like many Wire fans, was definitely on the 'Briers for Britain' bandwagon......if fact still am

He has definatly become more consistant with age and has been a great servant to the club. But, did any other clubs try to sign him during his time with you? I just always got the feeling that people did not want to have him in their squads. Not trolling, just giving an outside view, but i'm sure it will be seen as trolling...

Merry Xmas.

The best ball handler in the league

Wales RFU came knocking, not sure how far down the line it went. I'm sure someone else can embellish.

wigan and catalans requested his services.

Finest moment of his career v Leeds?

Very fondly, being in my early thirties he's been pivotal in most of my memories, some memorable games and cheeky moments and when he goes will be a massive character lost to both Wire and RL.

All the non wire supporters hate him aso he must be a wire legend in my book. I'm sure if he played elsewhere we would feel the same.

he will be a massive hole to fill when he retires.

I am very happy Lee hasn't ended his career without success as he has all ways had the talent and stepped up to the mark in recent years for us with the two Challenge Cup wins and the Lance Todd Trophy. He is one of the best half-backs this country has produced in recent times and for whatever reason never got a run at the GB job the same as a great Wire legend Parry Gordon I now think he is in the same bracket as him a (WIRE LEGEND) it will be great if he can add a SL winners ring before the end of his playing days with us.

Love that pic!! What a game! "50th drop goal for Briers... HE HAS SCORED IT!! Warrington are through! Warrington are through, Leeds are out..."

Reminding the crowd of the number of playoff games Wire have won



His biggest asset IMO is his ability to know when to pull the trigger to really hurt the opposition. I can't think of a British player in the last 10 years with a better 'rugby brain', maybe only Longy is his equal on that front.

Never liked him as an opposition player, he's always played the pantomine villain against Wigan. It will be a shame when he hangs his boots up, the game needs players like that.

I can't say I've ever noticed that.
