Monaghans kicking game is still awful; we need Briers on for tactical kicking.

Agreed that Monnas needs to work on his tactical kicking but he was starting to boss the game before he went off,Briers isn't the answer he changes the defensive strucrure of the team he is poor in defence and always looks for the big interception or cut out tackle the problem is he is poor at both and leaves gaping holes behind him and if he is to fit into the team he needs to change the defensive side of his game completly .
Personally I would bring in Bridge and give him a chance in the halves he hasn't been a favorite of mine but his performances in the reserves mean he should be given a chance he could also take over the kicking off hicks as he has been really poor this season and should be left to concentrate on being a winger.
Briers and Clarke(he has to be the worst hooker in SL but that's another thread ) should be sent to Barrow or Widnes on loan until we can get rid completely they are our weak links IMO .
Briers needs to learn there is no I in TEAM .
The rest of the TEAM were fantastic today Cooper stood out for me and Harrison had his best game this season imo,King also did what he said and let his rugby do the talking hats off to him it took balls to apologize like he did and that alone earned my respect .

Liked the look of gleeson in the halves but agree with mark m mono s and gleece just dont have a great kicking game have to wait and see hope i am wrong

I thought Gleeson offered nothing as half back tbh. The team looked much better with Briers in the halves and Gleeson back in the centres.

tactical kicking ? every kick briers did at quins went to hand.

We need loads of that

Briers' attacking kicking was excellent but neither halfback provided much in the way of tactical kicking, that being one of the negatives of the performance. Fortunately, our forwards stood up and battered theirs.

Jesus ..........he touched the ball about 3 times while at stand off......

what feckin planet are you on

it was quite clearly a ploy by Tony sith to calm things down...... before briers came on the ball was simply picked up by Higham and given to Monaghan.... Gleeson was never "playing" stand off at all during that game.

Briers' kicking led to a couple of tries. Agree that he failed to turn their defence around but his kicking from hand is in a different league than anyone else in our side.

Monas had a stormer today until getting injured.

Proves to me that he plays better without Briers.

You must have been bird watching again just cause he never touched the ball many times how many tackles did he miss and how many orders did he give rugby is alot more than just touching the ball

Did anyone else notice that Riley was kicking from all the restart that Warrington had ? Maybe set him as kicker from now on
