Yes that's OK too ... but that is not enough cover for a season. More required. Someone who can kick a ball out of hand.

I'd guess that's his career ended, I think he said he was retiring at the end of the season. Such a shame, one of my favourite players and one of the only ones I think Wigan made a mistake in letting go.

1. We (Salford) aren’t signing Brierley.
2. Even if we did, he wouldn’t get in front of Lui.
3. For Lui to sign for Wire you’d have to release someone as you’re overseas quota is full.

Gutted that the rumours I received last night were true, I think it’s unfair for players that have had lengthy careers when they don’t get to bow out on their own terms. Played his part in SL over then years Kev.

If the club go and seek Salary cap dispensation as Cas have done, who would you sign??

Does it need a dispensation or can we use the same rule as when Hicks left? Wasn’t he paid off in full in the off season so it didn’t count?

Ps gutted for KB terrible way to end a sporting career.

Most unfortunate for KB, wouldn't wish this on any player.

Gutted for Kev.
I've been one of his fans that stuck with him at the tough end...and just when this big opportunity to win the silverware comes, cruelty strikes a blow.
Thank you Kev and good venture with the healthy bistros.

Speedy recovery for Kevin Brown. Awful way for him to end with Warrington.

Massive fan of KB myself when he was at Widnes. He was he go to guy at Widnes so I feel we got more out of him, still done a job for Wire too.

Horrible bit of luck and speedy recovery, I think he’s played his last superleague match now you’d feel.

WQorth a try but the difference between Brown and Gale is that Gale was injured and had not played any games (friendlies) Brown played against Widnes I believe there is a distinction between them, good luck with it.

I suspect so. Never ones to shy away from a bit of salary cap gymnastics, Warrington.

Terribly unlucky way to end your career, certainly with Warrington it would seem. Get well soon as they say and good luck in your future endeavours.

Yup, playing alongside Tyrone Roberts in two cup finals was very, very cruel.

The whole team failed at Wembley and Roberts the main let down in the GF.
However Brown didn't come to Warrington with all the marquee and pomp tag. He's been a honest player for pretty much all his career and without question our most reliable half since he arrived.

Widdops english

Technically it doesn’t matter, bizarrely even though he is English he would have to have been registered with a UK club before the age of 21 to not count as a quota player.

Whether the SL will grant special status as he is an England international I’m not sure - it is a bit of a ridiculous situation.

I doubt widdop would be available this season anyway.

IF we are able to bring someone else in then I'd be surprised if would be a quality half for a one year contract unless we were to pay a fee, but surely there is no point in that either for a one year contract. I'm not sure what I would do with the space really. I'd give Dec a go with livett and ratchford as options and see who the best we can get to cover as much as possible. Another like mamo would be good now I suppose, wing and FB cover in case we need ratchford in the halves for an extended period.

In the circumstances surely we could ask the RFL to allow us for special dispensation to sign another overseas player?

Could Sandow be persuaded to walk out on his mining job and come back over for one more crack at SL?

terrible way to end a career... an honest professional player that has put his body on the line many times.

Not overly concerned with entering a deperate search for a replacement as i'm more than happy with Austin and Patton, and should we need to mix it up Mamo to fullback and Ratchford partnering Austin in the halves.

without doubt its something we could do without, but if Darryl Clark had a kicking game we'd be absolutely fine.

anyway speedy recovery KB

If Roberts is struggling to get in at the Gold Coast maybe we could tempt him over?

It's definitely worth a punt for me. Although highly unlikely, imagine the half back combination of Austin and Sandow (in his early form)- it would be mind blowing.

If we were looking for a miner I would have Arthur Scargill before Sandow.

At least Arthur would be old school not like the modern generation of spoilt player who would demand a better contract and go on strike if he didn't get his way.
