He's only 30!

The beer etc will add 3-4 years!!

Nevermind the sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle, on top of all that he has been playing since he was 17 in the Saints first team. If you look at the players from his era like Harris, Scully etc they kept their bodies in better nick than Briers and were knackered and burned out by 30. The same is happening now to Lee. I think this year will be his last in Super League before he steps down to NL1.

=redYou are on here with "benefit of the doubt" carry on with allegations like this and you will be gone.

Lee Briers for me is great on his day but he is very inconsistent and he has gone hiding in the past when we have been up against it, when he puts it all together then he is great to watch and has a top kicking game but when in sulk mode he can be a liability especially in defence. He gets quite a few niggling injuries as well which won`t ease up at the age he is at.

I thought we used him well in the last game against Saints when he came off after about 20 odd minutes and we brought on an "extra defender" i think it was Grix. I am not convinced that this was a forced interchange through injury but I am usually wrong. To me this was usually around the time we normally conceed 2/3 quick tries and if it was a tactical change it was refreshing.



Sides like Saints have an ability to target our weak points (See Andy Bracek)and if we can counter this then great. I do feel that we need to start thinking about his replacement despite how good he has been. He can't go on forever. I have enjoyed watching him play and some of the off the cuff stuff he does is brilliant like dribbling the ball 10 yards from a drop out/ kick off.



If we can find an in play kicker that is better from within the current squad then that would be great. If he can produce the sort of performances that would give us no option but to extend his contract i would be happy. There is something inside that tells me he (Not deliberate) can be a negative influence on the team as a whole sometimes but that is pure guess work on my behalf.



Similar to Penny, Pick the right games for him to play in whilst giving his understudy (Whoever that may be) some opportunites to shine. I think Lee is also a confidence player.



If the number of injuries that our squad piks up reduces there is no reason why we can't pick different players to play against different oppositions / conditions.



Good luck to him.

he can start by conducting himself a little better to a referees decision,no matter how hard it is to take,no little dummy spats that sort of thing.

he is no longer the captain so back off a little lee play your game have a cracking season and lets help the team win some silverware....

I don't doubt his commitment but he has been a consistent factor in the inconsistency and failure of the team to deliver since 1997.

I expect Briers to be lifting the Challenge Cup trrophy in August

if he does he will have to go to knowsley road,

cos thats where it will be on show...!

right out of the ken dodd book of jokes,made me chuckle that...are you forgetting the grand final trophy as well

Mozza will be lifting the cup, he is captain
