I thought he was excellent last night, but Briers was head and shoulders above anyone hence making him man of the match.

Who was the sky man of the match?

Re: Gareth O'Brien : Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:11 am  

O'Brien. I presume Briers was the sponsor's mom.

A nice selection headache for TS, Richie Myler is going to have to fight his way back into a starting place

He wasn't head and shoulders above Chris Hill. Thought he had a great game last night.

So our future spine will be

1 Ratchford
6 O'Brien
7 Myler
9 Dwyer
13 Currie


Happy with that

That will do me. Flesh it out with the likes of Rhys Evans, Riley, Cooper, Harrison, Hill, Laithwaite (and possibly Bateman) who are all under 25 and we look ok for the next 10 years or so.

So he got both, deserved them both too.

Massive potential, but no way was he MOM. Briers ran the show the first half.

Briers runs the show every week. I can't quite believe how good Briers is. Even now at the Autumn of his career, the guy is immense. He's our best player every single week.

For some reason he's not a fashionable player. He got the odd "Briers for Great Britain" comment once or twice a year off Eddie a few years ago and gets the odd comment now and again off Stevo now, but he's criminally underrated. And he's one of the few characters in the game too.

To see the hype and bull$h!t that some players get, constantly, and then to see what Lee does week-in-week-out...



As for Gaz O'B; I'm very very impressed. He's still a bit raw in some areas but I'm excited about his future.
