Why didn't we send Hock at him? He would have moved out of the way!

The whole south stand was pointing to go that way, they were short on numbers. A try there would have sent us 8 points infront. A winning margin in a game like that.

yep - 5,000 people shouting "run at Briers".

Still don't think he was injured mate. Vintage Briers.

classic briers

He's done it so often to take the heat off his side and give them a rest. Maybe Silverwood should have told him to get off to get treated and played on, but that's the risk you take.

Am i missing something here ?? Did he not have blood p issi ng out of his head ?? Vintage Briers do me a favour stop crying into your pies and just admit you got done.... Whinging fu c ks...

You Lost get over it!!!!!!!Unbeaten in three years now at the Piedome!!

Couldn't see that from my vantage point in the East Stand, but where was I actually whinging? I was saying it was a smart thing to do (prior to you pointing out the blood part)

The extremely large bandage round his head with blood weeping out of it should have given you a clue.

lol, who'd have thought winning a game could make people so tetchy.

As for Briers, I think he committed at least 2 professional fouls and the way he tried to disrupt the Wigan pack from forming a scrum in the dying seconds was pretty low even for him.

Vintage Briers?? Not really, BUT:-

: 60m interception pass WAS; and

: running in to join the (last) scrum to make Silverwood take him out to be replaced by Wigan player (thus burning up a few more seconds) WAS

He's lile Marmite..............

ps: can we have Sam Tomkins please?? Again, Marmite..........like Briers he's class and a player opposing fans love to hate because of that.......

six stitches later, faking injury was he ?

FFS I was saying how I thought it was good play. I'm not slagging him off, I'm giving the guy credit. It's an experienced thing to do to slow down the game when you're forwards need a rest. Just like putting himself in the scrum was as well. I didn't see any blood at the time so wasn't aware it was a genuine injury but if it wasn't then I'm actually praising him.

I was more Annoyed at the way the South stand cheered that he was injured OK so it seems he was fine in the end but that's not the point you don't cheer a player being injured.

Wasn't just the South mate

That was the funiest thing

, for one brief millionth of a second I thought that Lee's head injury had got to him and was trying to pack down. Then I realised it was classic Lee Briers

Never known a rugby player fake injury like he does. Disgrace to the game. Go and get a round ball!

I didn't particularly like that either, although had it happened at the other end of the pitch to a certain Wigan player I think the exact same would have happened.

Briers at his best really. Noticed after the penalty for a ball steal briers ran about 40 metres to have a go at the silverwood and I think it was Sam who tried to get in his way tickled me a bit.

Was that the one where he started in an offside position?

Yep, that was the one......

Thanks for clearing that up.

Get over yourself. The guy's a bloody genius and if he'd been playing for you, you'd be saying how wonderful he was.
You should be more worried about loony Luaki who cost you the game and ought to be looking at a long ban. How glad am I that we got rid of him.

I do genuinely think he was injured, in those first few moments after the incident he really hadn't a clue where he was. Legs gone the lot. I couldn't believe he stayed on the pitch, he was extremely quiet after that and certainly didn't make me cringe when he got the ball like he had done previously, made a few good passes but definitely none of the rip tearing runs he had made earlier. The blood pouring from his head was appalling that the ref didn't make him leave. I couldn't believe that our forwards didn't exploit that and run at him. I just wondered whether the incident at the round ball event last week has impacted on our sport. Did players avoid him knowing he was hurt?

Didn't we have a stop in play 1st half whilst a Wigan player got a head bandage ?
