ELBOWSEYE Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Lee Briers and Andrew Henderson will leave Warrington at the end of the season as Powell brings his own backroom staff.

Phil Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I was talking to a SL coach last week who said that hopefully the drinking culture at the club which he said is centred round Briers would now disappear "Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice, socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality" - Mikhail Bakunin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I didn't hear it from a SuperLeague coach... I just imagined it to be the case. Something is culturally wrong at the club, and I think moving on people like Briers is a must if that is going to change. Really interesting to hear - thanks for sharing.

Hela Wigmen Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I once saw Lee Briers drinking a pint at a Thatto Heath game. I think he may have been playing still, at the time. Equally, I’ve seen him running through the streets. Unsurprisingly and disappointing for some, he’s a relatively normal bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever thought that maybe has more to do with the departing head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Not my cup of tea, but Shirley...no one can doubt his commitment to the club and the game (not that anyone is doing) In his role as water carrier, and even on occasions as the 14th man, he's been one of the most driven of people. Let's just hope he stays in our code and does not find if necessary to move to another code to find employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has been told in confidence why post at all? Im not a Warrington fan. Far from it but do live in the town. There used to be stories about Warrington’s drinking culture in late 90s and the 2000s and you’d see that in action in town. You see the squad now and again out in small groups (pre covid) but mainly at costa not the pub The only player I know to attract any attention was Chris Sandow when he was there, but without any other players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorside roughyed Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Sad to see but nothing lasts forever. Good luck to him and his colleagues in whatever they decide to do next. Regardless of anything he's an absolute legend at the wire. He's a legend in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lineham, you may remember, couldn't even get a start on loan at Rochdale. so no... not making it up. Anybody who follows them can see there is a lack of professionalism in certain areas.

Hela Wigmen Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 There’s also no evidence that Lineham struggled to get in the Rochdale team, so it’s a great yarn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
