Good answer.

Mike was a legend for the club. But in his later days he started to make a lot of mistakes. That is why we shipped him of to Salford.

thats it he just alright nothing special not a legend.

lee briers has done the first 2

briers hasn't led us out at wembley and hasn't done any of the international things but to be fair when i watched mike gregory play i was always a lot less bothered about what he did for gb than what he did for wire, maybe that's just my preference though...but now i think of it how about the wales aus game when briers demolished them?

but then look at all briers scoring records which mike gregory didn't have and when wire have been through poor times when we struggled to score we always looked to briers, even remember him scoring something like 3 drop goals in a game once to beat halifax

in my eyes what was most important was that mike greg made going to wilderspool worthwhile and briers has done the same at wilders and at hj, absolute legend and thoroughly deserves the title, never even particularly been one of my favourite players but i can appreciate that the guy has been a top servant to our club and i really think other people should appreciate this too

just alright? no chance

What story is that? Out of genuine interest?

What you mean is, in his later days he played with about the regularity that Sculthorpe played in his later days for Saints.

underachiever, his career has been full of rumours of allsorts.

not quiet makeing it at country level.

in my opinion i dont like his attitude and it also seems to me like he has a hold over the club in some way.

You got all that from the fact that Warrington haven't won a trophy for 20 years?

no just the ten years hes been here.

we never won owt while Johnny Davies was here either and he was $hit hot........

very true but he was a legend before he played for us. and had won trophys.

Ah, I see. Trophies equate to legendary status.
I wish we'd signed that legendary Ricky Bibey.

briers isnt in jd's league. 30 odd caps for wales ru, 10 for GB 10 for wales rl not to mention his club stats. thats a legend.

Club stats? Out of the two mentioned there, Davies and Briers, who is higher on appearances and points for the club?

so was Andy Currier........

yep your right there is briers.

but would you class briers as a legend?

From the method you have judged JD and Greg, yes.

briers has got to be a legend, how many times he has single handily won a match for us is quite outstanding

Are you being serious with this.

no i thought i would say it as a joke

how briers played for GB 1 time and wales 18 times. hes racked up so many points coz of the amount of time hes been here.

how long was jd at wire 3 seasons.

Two lasting images from Greg and JD's League careers are respective long range, high quality tries against the Ockers.
A lasting image from Briers' playing career will perhaps be his performance against the Ockers in the World Cup, not least his try when he made a bit of a fool of a certain Darren Lockyer.
That said, I'm sure Andy Farrell will go down as a Wigan legend, yet we can hardly sit around misty eyed at his international memoirs.
You then used 'club stats', in which Briers dominates quite a substantial number of players, to be fair. It will be quite difficult for fair minded historians to take into consideration his contribution towards some of our biggest performances, combined with impressive stats, such as his sheer quantity (not to mention quality) of 40-20s, breaks, assists, drop goals, goals and disregard an arguement for him to be classed in the 'legend' bracket.

Just having a quick look to see how this thread ended up....I'm glad I did because I haven't laughed so much in years with the suggestion that Briers is in the same bracket as Jonathan Davies...



Now Davies isn't a Warrington legend, fair enough, he wasn't here long enough to warrant that one, but he is a RUGBY legend having excelled at both codes of the game, and basically being the type of player who would attract a crowd purely by being on the team sheet.

Briers was awesome off the bench yesterday

Seconded but hammering him over alleged previous misadventures or making unfair comparisons to players of different generations is much more fun for most people on here.
