I was thinking the same thing. Briers is someone who has stayed with the club, through thin and thin and had a testimonial at the club.

Really unfair guys. Sorry but it just is.

10 years plus service, including some fine fine performances.

Carried the other 16 players on his back at certain times for this club.

very true but what have we won in his time here?

To be honest, there is something about him that just doesn't click for me. I've said before on here for a couple of years that I just can't see Wire doing anything while he's still with you.

that's irrelevant to him deserving a good send off and to the brilliant service he has given to the club if you can't see that then you need to rethink your attitude mate

we are warrington fans, he has spent pretty much all his career here, broken all sorts of club records, entertained us week in week out

regardless of whether or not he is right for the club anymore he will go down as a warrington legend... anyone who thinks anything else should be ashamed of themselves in my opinion

.....That statement is a total insult to real legends like Brian Bevan and Mike Gregory.....like the term 'World-Class', we seem to band around the description 'legend' far too easily nowadays.

I'll give him 'loyal servant', but 'legend'??....Not a chance.

im not saying he hasnt done them things!

my attitude is just fine thx.

like said above theres just something about him that isnt right.

in my opinion ten years service and no trophys or finals apperances tells it own story.

you joking me mate he has been awesome for this club

we weren't exactly awash with trophies during mike gregory's time at club but he is (rightly) adulated by the fans because of what he did and that was make watching warrington really enjoyable, which is what lee briers has done too imo

Hope I don't sound patronising but how old are you??....I'm hoping you are about 14, and so are just using the term 'legend' in a modern day speak type of way.. ....If not, and you are about 30 and actually being serious, then I'm afraid you are being silly...
