Bath have denied it but there is no smoke without fire,i imagine other clubs would be able to offer more than us but money may not be the deciding matter as I imagine he is on a big wedge at Bath.

I'd have him in a heartbeat! Get him in at centre this year and then to fullback once Bowen goes. Leave Hampshire Powell and Williams to battle it out for the 6 shirt once Green leaves.

I think he would be outstanding off the bench if required.

Hes an international, starting full back at one of the biggest clubs in the league. He wont come to Wigan to warm the bench. We wont be in for him anyway. Our squad is done for next season and rightly so. We have 30+ players competing for 25 places.

If he wants out, why would he not come to Wigan to sit on the bench? It's not like he would get no game time. He could also solve our Wing issue in the shirt term.

There would be plenty of opportunities for him in my opinion at Wigan.

Honestly tell me why I'm wrong.

When both players last played RL Eastmond was selected over Briers for England. Tell me that outside of Wire Eastmond wasn't classed as the better player. Briers didn't even make the old Lancashire side.

Briers never achieved anything of note other than a few challenge cup wins.

RU weren't knocking down the door to sign Briers like the did with Harris, Robinson, Faz, KFC and Radders. However when you speak to any Warrington fans they talk like he was in the Johns bracket.

BTW there are plenty of none Wigan players that I give a respect to via grated teeth. The likes of KFC, Long, Harris, Morley, Senior, Webb, Lowes, Lyon etc fall into an elite bracket of player whose class can't be ignored. Please don't even try to say Briers should be included.

It was never Briers 'talent' that prevented him being selected for GB/England/Lancs as well you know.

You are totally correct. It was more to do with other players talent that were better than him.

Yes, we had an embarrassment of riches, something we lack now.
