if that is clapping Briers career at Wire then i will join in

is that the joe williams lower nrl teams were fghting over a year or two back that signed for someone in france?

He'll love it in Barrow - Some great nights out up here

yeah but can you guarantee a player that is actually any good ...??



because his last two half back partners have been as bad as your ever going to see in Warrington colours. But people like you choose to ignore that....



no doubt you'll wee yourself when the 31 year old Matt orford is announced as Briers Replacement .....



he'll give us one good year, will not take up his second year option due to injury/old age/homesickness and will be lifted on the shoulders of the players while an adoring south stand chant his name and thank him eternally for the 22 games he played.....

Who are you? Tony Smith? Those things are down to the coach and/or club management to dictate. What Briers guaranteed us was a halfback who could really deliver - one who could create things few others could and as had many, many great games for us including our most recent match.



Replacing that is NOT going to be easy - apart from 18 months from Langer and 3 games from Johns, we've failed to provide any one decent for him to play alongside in 12 years. Look at Wigans repeated failed attempts to sign halfbacks. It is not easy. Going to be a BIG hole to fill.

He's hardly Mr Irreplaceable, obviously nobody else in Super League is interested in him else he wouldn't be going to Barrow.

People seem to forget the amount of games that he has almost single handily won for Warrington!

Obviously he's not exactly someone a SL club would want to build their future around, given he has 12 years behind him instead of in front of him. But come on - look at our attempts to sign a No.7 in recent years. It's not easy signing a halfback.

Pretty sure I've been snared there by sally, but don't care, some people will be thinking along those lines!

Been a very good servant to the club in the past 12 years, possibly the best transfer fee the club ever spent in terms of years of service.



If he had been given a half back partner of equal standing and ability who knows what would have happened.

Why do people keep bringing his age into this, it has nothing to do with anything he simply just isn't good enough, if TS thought he was worthy of a 2 or 3 year contract he would give him one. When that contract eventually runs out he would then be 33-34 and would be shipped to a lesser club if not retire.



Sean Long will be 33 this year and Matt Orford is 30, if Orford does indeed come to Warrington or stay in Australia he will get at least a 2 or 3 year deal and that would make him 33 at the end. Why are Long and Orford playing top flight rugby between the ages of 30-33.



it's because there good enough and Briers isn't.
