I've been debating this since saturday now. I know hes talented won us the game etc. But I cant help thinking this should be his last season with us.
Am I on my own here?

No. I'm here too.
Briers' situation is a simple one for mine; if a replacement, who is better can be sought, then let him go. If not, give him another year.

Agreed, who is likely to be available though? It may involve paying a transfer fee, as I'm not sure there are many stand offs out of contract at the end of the season.

Would have to be a good replacement mind. An established stand off.
One equal to the Lee Briers that carried the team on his back in 2002 |

The good point of all this is that we do not need to decide right now.

If we actually reach and win a final this season it would be utterly ridiculous to replace him. There is a clear change in him and his attitude and he played as a lone half-back on Saturday as Monaghan was completely anonymous.
You can't doubt his passion and commitment to the club; look at his reaction as the drop-goal goes over.

If Monas sticks his tail between his legs and returns to Australia, then I would prefer we keep Briers for another 12 months just to give a new Scrum Half (or Stand Off) time to 'bed in'. If Monas stays then, assuming we can find someone better (which I think will be far easier said than done), it would probably be the right time to say goodbye.

Monas might have been "anonymous" in attack, but the lad can't half tackle above his weight.
If only he would accept that he is a better hooker than half back.

I don't think we signed and/or need him for his defensive qualities. |

We have won 7 of our last 10 games against SL opposition, Briers was injured for three of the 10 - no prizes for guessing which ones.
I just don't understand why everyone wants to see him gone.
If Smith is as good a coach as everyione seems to think he is, then he should be able to keep him focused and ensure we get the best from him - and that best is better than most half backs playing RL right now.
