I thought we used him well in the last game against Saints when he came off after about 20 odd minutes and we brought on an "extra defender" i think it was Grix. I am not convinced that this was a forced interchange through injury but I am usually wrong. To me this was usually around the time we normally conceed 2/3 quick tries and if it was a tactical change it was refreshing.



Sides like Saints have an ability to target our weak points (See Andy Bracek)and if we can counter this then great. I do feel that we need to start thinking about his replacement despite how good he has been. He can't go on forever. I have enjoyed watching him play and some of the off the cuff stuff he does is brilliant like dribbling the ball 10 yards from a drop out/ kick off.



If we can find an in play kicker that is better from within the current squad then that would be great. If he can produce the sort of performances that would give us no option but to extend his contract i would be happy. There is something inside that tells me he (Not deliberate) can be a negative influence on the team as a whole sometimes but that is pure guess work on my behalf.



Similar to Penny, Pick the right games for him to play in whilst giving his understudy (Whoever that may be) some opportunites to shine. I think Lee is also a confidence player.



If the number of injuries that our squad piks up reduces there is no reason why we can't pick different players to play against different oppositions / conditions.



Good luck to him.

he can start by conducting himself a little better to a referees decision,no matter how hard it is to take,no little dummy spats that sort of thing.

he is no longer the captain so back off a little lee play your game have a cracking season and lets help the team win some silverware....

I don't doubt his commitment but he has been a consistent factor in the inconsistency and failure of the team to deliver since 1997.

I expect Briers to be lifting the Challenge Cup trrophy in August

if he does he will have to go to knowsley road,

cos thats where it will be on show...!

right out of the ken dodd book of jokes,made me chuckle that...are you forgetting the grand final trophy as well

Mozza will be lifting the cup, he is captain

Where did I say he wasn't?



Everyone gets to have a lift of the trophy after it has been presented to the captain.



I also think that Morely would share the presentation lifting with Briers, like Robbie Paul shared the lifting with Lowes at the 2003 Grand Final

When you take about lifting a cup, this is meant as the captain and why would he share, Lee's time as captain has gone.



Actually i don't know why we are arguing about it as we all know that we will will draw Saints and get beat in an earlier round

At the risk of repeating myself, all the squad members get to have an individual lift of the trophy, that is what I meant by "I expect Briers to lift the Challenge Cup trophy in August".

Your not telling me Lockyer does not like a damp?

speaking of which, have yuo seen the news in australia from this weekend? and i'm not on about the cup final.
