We also had a first team coach who as a player was extremely successful (something which I believe you have consistently called for in the past, correct me if I'm wrong but weren't you one of the ones calling for Sean Edwards to coach us based purely on his playing record before he moved in to coaching Union?) - and look what that got us.
What has Briers achieved in club rugby? not a great deal, really.
Firstly, i`m not sure what point your trying to make here, i`ll refer you back to what you quoted me on when i was describing the type of halback we need at the min "We need experience and proven,
reliable performers at the min with a touch of class".
Since when has Lee Briers ever been a reliable performer ? I was obviously stating that we need a player who has experience,
is a reliable performer with a touch of class and that isn`t Lee Briers is it from the part i have put in bold.
I was comparing Richie Myler who is a rookie and is the type of player which we don`t need right now in such a key position to the type of player which we do need and is in the quotation marks above.
No, it wasn`t me that was calling for Sean Edwards. It was someone else that raised his name and i expressed my doubts about Edwards as to how long he had been away from rugby league went, it would have been like chancing yet another rookie coach which had no guarnetees and its not what we didn`t need at the time is what i said.
My choices in the past for head coach were Craig Bellamy as the ideal man for the job but more realistically i said Tony Smith was the one we were most likely to get as he had no club ties.
