Believe wolves want to extend his contract , but weve put a big offer to him to end his career with us i believe if it happens will be a big coup for us been Quality for many years and possibly last big pay day ! I believe we need Lees experiance to lead from the middle of the park !Any thoughts!

I find myself conflicted. Hes Wire, he couldnt look anymore like a untrustworthy scrot if he tried, and his constant crying at refs offends me. That being said, he is class and hes still going strong, so why not get him in for a couple of years. it would certainly be a good move for us!

Best 6 in Super League for me, always been a huge fan, excellent hands and rugby brain. Give him 2 years on a big deal.


Him and Brown can link easily between a 6 and 7 combo, Briers being the 7.

Honestly? Not for me.
Still class but getting on and he wouldn't have all the time he gets at Wire and players around him to do most of the hard work. Would be paying way OTT for what we be getting in return IMHO.

Totally agree and think new recruits would have to work off Briers /Brown and tougher pack , as you said Briers first years at warrington was in mediocre teams and Lee given plenty of time over recent years shows his class

He carried wire for years when they were at Wilders(poo), Of course it helps having a beefy pack behind you and I don't think we'll have any problems with that next season. Gutted he never got a crack at the Australians for Great Britain.

He may be getting on but that rugby brain is still ticking over nicely.

I genuinely see him turning us down to stay with Warrington and to take up a coaching role there in the next year or two.

Having said that I would genuinely welcome his signing. As has been said before he isn't the player he was two or three seasons back but he has the guile and craft to be an asset to a side such as ours next year. He would surely have more than just a playing role if he came.

If he washes his hair then I'd have him.

this rumour comes up every season when you were last in sl

To be honest we need to spend on some big mobile props even though Ben Davies,Pickers,and Cross try hard.Cahill has been playing front row too, but if get two big props then Cahill can go back to the Secondrow.A good centre like Hodges as near 30 now so may get a few yrs contract with us.Suppose to be signing a few from Australia i heard but nothing concrete.

well speak to the man himself and hell tell you it was an extra £5000 that kept him at wolves last time , so money talks look at Brown could have gone to any of the top sides in superleague and opted for the lowliest club in superleague! Lets wait and see

I'm not sure. He's a quality player but if we're going to go for a big money signing I'd rather it be someone we could build a team around for years to come.

No thank you. Once a w**e and all that.

You've signed Brown as half back who can't defend, now your rumoured to want Briers who can't defend? That's good thinking that is!
Have you seen your points conceded figure?
You need to sign players who can defend not one's who can't!
If you want to get off the bottom of the table then you'll have to do better than Brown, Briers and Tickle.
Poor Widnes fans, with the right recruitment you could have been so much better than you are.

Think 3 class players for British rugby league dont know who you watch

but any club in superleague would want to sign this calibre of player Danny Tickle wigan want to sign him FACT , kevin Brown wigan wanted to sign him FACT Lee Briers still Top draw that could go to any superleague club FACT even though 30 yrs + Like to know who you follow then we can scrutinise your team a bit !bad tacklers in every top level sport FACTotherwise wed be doing the same with Leeds ,Warrington ,etc etc

Be boring watching 0-0 games ))))

lee has got alot better in his defence work since smith arrived

Totally agree, been exceptional over last few years

he even put a few big one and one hits in against leeds.

and i used to cringe when any team attacked at him now im quite comfortable and he blends in and doesnt shirk his defensive duties

Let's get something straight his defence is better... But it's still crap! Smith just got Westwood to the the Tony Carroll / Darren Lockyer job!

I agree think hes matured like a fine wine

I am sure Denis Betts will take your points very seriously

Us 'Leigh' fans HATED Stu Littler 'with a passion' Local product, BUT partly because we can never beat Salford, he'd usually score, and give a 'reaction' sometimes to our crowd abuse. In a Leigh shirt though, our best 'signing' for years, gives 110% every game....we love him - the past, is in the past.
Granted though in rivalry stakes, leigh v salford, is NOT wire v widnes.

Don't mean this to come across as arrogant so forgive me if it does...

Lee Briers is currently the 1st name on a team sheet of a team that is challenging for and winning honours and he isn't good enough for a team that is currently at the bottom of the league with the worst points for and against?

If this was a player who didn't play for your rivals would the same still stand?

If it was the other way round and can tell you for nothing i'd jump through hoops to get Lee in my team.

Totally agreee there Yed, he's certainty best stand off in this country since Tony myler best out and out kicker I've seen since shaun Edwards would be my first choice week in week out

First name on the team sheet? Hmmm...
