I thought Briers was decidedly average when he came on against HKR, especially his kicking from hand.
I don't think there would be many who would mourn his leaving to be honest.

A good servant to the Wire cause over the years, no more - no less.

Good post that man

from a Lee Briers kick from Hand

so Which was it again a poor kick or a seasons highlight I get confused with all this anti Lee Briers crap.......

I said he was [size=150AVERAGE[/size- meaning SOME of his game was ok some not.
It was a seasons highlight by [size=150KING[/size in the way he brought down a very high ball and touched down in one motion HE was the one who did the thing I admired not Briers.

As far as 'anti-briers crap' as you so adroitly put it, I have never claimed once to be 'anti-briers' re-read the post I said -

"A good servant to the Wire cause over the years, no more - no less".

and I stand by that.

You need to seriously

out.

Tell you what; I was stood right in that corner and King so very nearly knocked the ball on as he dropped it on the way down and then only just got his hands back on it before it hit the ground. Not quite the seamless action you suggest!

He's like this most of the time, you get used to it mate.

From where I was sat in the North Stand it looked great. Hence my opinion on it.

Even better then, the fact he regained control of the ball during it's movement.

Excellent Matthew

Fair enough. You couldn't see the juggling act from there!

Hahahahaha just looked at the SL highlights and the try was EXACTLY as I mentioned, one smooth motion..what game were you watching!

Give him benefit of the doubt Bobby, He was right in that corner and witnessed the "juggling act" for himself

i had no sound is that the norm?

what i did notice was our support play was a lot better than i've seen this season. every tackle guys looking for the offload and actually finding someone to offload to

The highlights also show how good Monas try was in the first half.

didnt realise I had "Freaked out" in that response ...??
I just pointed out a bit of a hypocrytical post.....which you have since endorsed by claiming it was now a "very high kick"....making out Briers kick was poor and Kings jump was superhuman........

it was great kick and a great jump and put down....that simple really you couldnt have one without the other but you want it that way..!!!

I saw that King was open and shouted "kings in, kings in here !!" and knew that When Briers shaped to Kick it was going to be a quality kick and King should be in a great position to score..... thats not a reaction/feeling I'd get from an average player

Briers is 31 in June his career here will soon be over because of his age and nothing else.....

I just hate people making stuff up because they dont like a player thats all

I really dont like Monaghan (something about him I guess)but I cant make stuff up about him to try and prove why everyone else should have the same point of view.....
he had a good game up until his injury I have no problem with it I hope his form improves....

people want Briers and Penny to fail because they think it makes them look clever....

you had the worst response possible to one of your posts ....LWF applauding it

Utter nonsense, if a player is good enough to play on then he's age doesn't make a difference, Why hasn't Sean Long been shipped out of St.Helens when he's 33 in September

I am trying to give King some credit here for doing well in dealing with the kick as it wasn't the foregone conclusion that you seem to think (and it may have been the sort of thing he would have fumbled when his confidence was low). And how you can tell that his hands are on the ball all the way down from that video clip I really don't know.

But I must bow to your encyclopaedic and exhaustive knowledge of rugby league, the evidence of which litters this site, particularly the absolute corkers concerning Kevin Penny below. Then again I suppose you have to be right at least once in your life.

I wouldn't bother trying to explain to some of the 'experts' on here; it always seems that British players= bad, Overseas players= good no matter what in this town.

Look at the MOM voting on this site; Harrison was a clear MOM (put it this way Tony Smith knows it) but because King is Aussie and has big hair he is up there with the voting. And now we have Briers who has been a fine servant to this club, playing through the period when the club could have folded either through relegation or bankruptcy, being talked about in a very shabby fashion.

I am almost tempted to tell all the towns juniors to go and play for Wigan or Sintellins in the future to avoid being written off by some of the idiots that turn up at the HJ. Look at the scapegoats over the years; Wainwright, Clarke, Riley, Penny...

Blimey you should be a politician mate the way you add spin to all your posts. READ what I posted.

1. I never said Kings jump was superhuman.

2. Briers kick WAS high, but as I said in response Briers had an average game, some good things some bad. Are you saying he was outstanding on Sunday? If you are you were watching a different game to me!

3. What in my post was I 'making up' for chrissake! The fact that IMO he had an average game or the fact that IMO he has been a good servant to Wires?!

4. Where did I ONCE say I wanted either Briers or Penny (a player I haven't even mentioned) to fail. Why the hell as a Wire fan would I want ANY of our players to fail?! C'mon mate think before typing eh!

To make it crystal clear my posts says the following, I thought that Briers game [size=200ON SUNDAY[/size was average IMO.

The words 'on Sunday' are quite important here.. not his performances over the past seasons...SUNDAY. Now lets move on.

By the way this hate campaign you have against LWF is a bit childish don't you think? I might not agree with everything he says just like I don't agree with a lot of the posters on here, but surely there is a right way and a wrong to address people.

i agree bobby people come on here to voice an opinion if we disagree lets be civil
we can take the mick a little but getting personal against our own fans is pathetic
lets just say that's your opinion and this is mine

Couldn't agree more Bobby, many posters on here like to put spins on post's and that's when people start to get annoyed by being goaded and antagonised into biting back, warning's are then given out like cough drops to the people who bite back (not calling the mods here), There are a few people on here who like to use personal insults and im very happy to say that im not one of them, also pointing out spelling mistakes is a bit pathetic to but ey oh rant over.

Back to the topic in hand, Flying Biscuit can you explain why Briers will be finished at Warrington soon

I hear you say for age reasons and nothing else, Why is Sean Long still at Saints when he's coming up to 33

The hypocrisy on here knows no limits.

You have to understand, there are those who watch the game and there are those who appreciate the game.

That is very condescending.
