Did you watch the same game last night? Who kicked for Grix's try? Briers. Who kicked for Riley's try? Briers. Who kicked the most in general play for us? Briers.

Whoooooooooosh.

Played well and was willing to take the game to Cas. Loved his quick thinking at the end for the Myler try.

Had his ups and downs over the years but overall Lee Briers is a wire Legend, early thoughts give the guy a new contract

here here.

I'm a bit split on that one tbh Rogues. It has certainly looked at times that he has had issues, but then so has Sean Long.Fortunately for Long he has had the benefit of playing for a leading team for most of his career.

Had Briers played in a better Wire team, his class would have shown and he would have had more caps IMO.

Of course it would be great if all players had the commitment and effort of the players you mentioned, but they were freaks, and way more professional than the majority of players from recent history.

Look at Andrew Johns. He is hardly a shining example, but his RL has spoken for itself. I always think Briers' off field reputation has been over played simply due to the fact that his form hasn't always been that good. Look at some of the players he has had to work with though, and that may explain more IMHO.
