I still think that without Briers we miss something goin forward. I believe that with Briers back we may cause more of a threat because then we would have Myler and Briersy combining with Monas and higham interchanging the bench. Also Grix is useless at the halves.

even if he was fit i wouldnt of played him ,, i dont think we need him to beat wakefield ,, we have a busy easter coming up against salford and hull so i would rather rest him for friday and play him during the easter games rather than playing him on friday and injuring the ankle even more

He should be more careful of the stools on the way to the bar.

I think it will be a tough game without Briers friday. Wakey are a decent side with some quality players! Looking forward to it though. Come on the Wire!!

I agree. They are level on points with us and no mugs. Tough challenge.

All games in Super League are toguh, bla, bla, bla....

Yes but this is one we should win. We have a really good squad, we appear to prepare well for matches, our defence has been excellent this year and we know how to score points. Without Briers (4 games), we have scored 21 tries plus the ones in the Wigan game after he went off (2?). We have conceded only 10 plus however many it was in the Wigan game after he went off.

ive been hearing much more disturbing storys about why briers isnt playing. anyone els??

If this was a couple of seasons ago or even at some points last year, I'd have been backing Wakefield. It was exactly the kind of game we used to lose; followed by headlines like, 'Paul Cooke's mom debut, Sam Obst runs riot'.... I can see it now.

But last friday aside, I think with Briers or without Briers, we won't let this one slip.

Will be tough though!

Yeah its called bolllocks

me too

Erm....?















































No..

Did your cousin's mate at work who knows the cleaner at the HJ tell you he was abducted by aliens?



So many rumours get thrown about on this forum, yet nothing ever seems to materialise.

Good to see Lee in the 19 man squad, hopefully he will make an appearance on Friday even if it is just a short one.

Briers got his jaw broke in a fight in the Rodney on Saturday night.

I thought he was already barred from there

I heard it was because of mcat. Everything bad happening is because of mephedrone. The BBC told me.

Morley's revenge for the broken jaw

Nar but my mate does work at the HJ. I didnt say i believed it i just said i heard a story and asked if anyone els had.

Having just been to the stadium, seeing them train and seeing the state of Briers' ankle, your mate is full of .

So, he's a no for tommorow then.

Definitely. Seeing, it, it is hard to believe the injury is five weeks old.

Strange that he was even named in the 19 if its still bad.

Hopefully he can be back for the away trips to Hull.

Yep sounds that way.

Meaning what exactly......

It's not though is it ?

My understanding was that he'd resumed training at the start of the week and aggrevated the injury somewhat, so what you're seeing is the sort of 'fresh injury'.

Or am I wrong ?

Think you are right. Just heard Morley confirm as such on Radio Manchester, makes a lot of sense now.

Just goes to show how much bull innuendo gets put about.
