Anyone notice him playing with a bit of aggression on Friday towards Sam Tomkins? When Sam was on the floor, Briers would start grabbing him by the collar trying to hurt him i guess, in the first half.

However when Sam got up and said something, I didnt see it happen again. Was Briers trying to prove some kind of point that he is stronger than a young kid in his debut season?

Pr*ck.

I got that impression too. Some of the man handling of Tomkins in recent weeks is pretty disgusting tbh. I'm not talking about a normal tackle niether, I mean like Briers and again against Wakefield in the cup are two that spring to mind.

Fair play to Stomkins though, Hes got up and kicked off with Danny Sculthorpe, and then Lee Briers so at least he's not shying away when it gets abit tough.

Take Note Karl.

he has got grief from a few folk of late Briers, leo-latu and Ryan Bailey a few weeks back.

i dont think that it bothers him to be honest, i doubt it will continue next year with Webb or O'meely watching his back!!

yep tomkins has certainly got a bit of bottle in fact got more than your pack put together....

i noticed when watching the game again, that briers tackled tomkins and as he was getting up to play the ball briers kneed him on the side of the head.you can see briers bring his knee across to tomkins head, after playing the ball tomkins moved towards briers and said something to him.

They're trying to intimidate him, will always happen with young lads and you can't blame them for doing it.

Fair play to him though, he's not one to be bullied.

Your right a few people are trying to target him, but I think Hock and Phelps have been told to look after him.

In the wakefield game Hock went for Leo-Latu and both times Sam got into trouble Phelps was first in.

Kids are always gona get targeted for me, at any level. It's up to the pack in particular to protect them

Sam Tomkins has come in for some stick over the past few weeks from Brough, Latu, Briers etc but stands up to it pretty well.

If only his forwards would give him some support.

Shock horror, opposition tries to intimidate young playmaker to put them off their game!

I agree with other comments here though,he looks more than tough enough to handle it.

we should have done the same to that young talent kevin penny... oh hang on...

What on earth does that have to do with this thread? Pee poor response, however very happy to get involved in a discussion about young wingers having a mare catching a ball.

lighten up chuck

you're still in the cup and you got rid of cullen!

Boo-Hoo. Come on. He's a rugby player; your on the recieving end of aggression from other teams no matter what level you play at. I'm sure he will be ok, don't worry about him to much.

Briers is a prick who has stolen a living for years, the wire fans are so stupid that they cannot see any bad in him.

Gobe and always will be.

its not tiddley winks

Well thats Noble's plan B out the window

Why this comes a surpise is beyond me, this idiot has never been any different, there have been lots of threads about the most hated players etc etc, and this idiot is always number 1, 3rd one into every tackle, niggling digs in the tackle, and the first one to leg it, in the modern day, the most annoying player and one of the biggest wan@**s, bar none.

Second too sean long matej

I think I know what you mean, and yes a good 1 & 2, spell checker, works every time!!!!

4 days on and still bitter! Tompkins is not the 1st Wigan stand off Briers has had in his back pocket.

wind your neck in and get over it, you're showing yourself up.

Is that it??? Wind your neck in??? !!!!







You should go back and troll on your own site, the truth hurts hey guy, Lee Briers is and always be a cheap imitation of Shaun Edwards, in his dreams hey, in your place Lee!

Lee Briers is a poor mans Sean Long

Not as good a player and hated slightly less but still a w@nker
