All my time on the message board I have only ever seen one rumoured signing posted on here actually come off. That was Blacky last season. I’ve rated Briers in past seasons, granted I have always thought of him as a little poop after the Bloem incident but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I think this is all just rumours started to give us something to talk about.

Beswick, Goddard, Holroyd and Roberts' return were all rumoured on here and i'll bet - plenty more. Everything happens on here first - how do you think the Courier keeps it's RL section going? Have you been asleep while on these message boards?

Wasn't the Holroyd thing rumoured on here too.
Ive only posted what Ive heard, I have no Idea whether it has any substance or not, but like I said in a previous post I've heard before now that Wire want rid of him and tried to Loan him to Barrow (was mentioned that in the week upto our game up there) so if he is on his way, perhaps he could be coming to Fax.
Strange things can happen, If someone said this time last year we'd sign Mark Gleeson it'd have being dismissed outright.

Not a big fan of Briers. Dodgy defence and head too big much of the time. Can still remember the game he tried to win entirely with drop goals - Cardiss dived over to seal it if I remember correctly .
I like what we've got. Ta!

I have to say that I would take Briers like a shot. $hit stirrers don't stay at clubs for 10+ years, quality players do. Passion can sometimes be misconstrued!! The same was said re Holly as previously said.
Personally I don't rate Govin, I think he lacks the quality to be a real star no6. Young Bowman is a couple of years away from the finished article and we look to be grooming him for SL in 3 years hopefully! Briers can win you a match single handed like Holly could . . . . . . . . Can Govin??
We really lack a true No6 but don't want to read too much into this YET!!!!

Blimey Briers playing for us, think of all those drop goals
Come on he would be a terrific asset at this level, would rather have him playing for us not against us!
I like Mick Govin and am chuffed the lad seems to have put his injury nightmare behind him (hopefully I have not jinxed him now) but have to agree he is a bit off being a top stand off, good squad member if we do get Briers though?

You may laugh, but I'd have been a lot happier if we'd have slot a 1 pointer over at some point at Haven,
Quite an effective way of helping put a game to bed, especially if 18 points up, would be a big blow to an oppositions morale if 12, 18 or 24 points behind suddenly became 13, 19 or 25, especially later on in a game.
