Smith hails Briers response

He's repaid his buddies says Wolves coach



Warrington coach Tony Smith paid tribute to veteran half-back Lee Briers after his side's 50-10 Super League victory over the London Broncos on Sunday.

Briers, who was dropped by Smith for the opening-day draw at Hull last weekend as a disciplinary measure, was recalled to the side at stand-off. And the 33-year-old responded in the best possible fashion, scoring two tries and having a hand in five others in a fine individual display. "I thought Lee did the best thing he could to go and repay his buddies for missing out the previous week," said Smith. "And that's by going out there and putting his body on the line for them."He showed his intent right from the word go by getting tackled quite a number of times and even trying to put a couple of shots on in defence. "It was a great way for him to respond and the best way. Rather than talk about it, just get on with it and he dealt with it very well I thought." - http://www1.skysports.com/
