Judgement call on Briers' selection

LEE Briers' selection for the opening game of the new season at The Halliwell Jones Stadium will come down to a 'judgement call'.

Wolves' skipper was last week given the all-clear to resume full contact training and full weight training exercises and he has been going flat-out since in a bid to be fit for the big night.

Briers, who has not played since breaking his wrist against London Broncos last July, failed in one comeback attempt and then required reconstructive surgery.

Wolves' head coach Paul Cullen said: "He had been near to full training for the previous month and had been involved in a serious weight training programme for two to three weeks prior to being given the final all-clear.

"All is on track for Lee. It will be a final judgement call, come the Wakefield game, whether he plays that night or the following week. But it's now down to a matter of judgement or a preference rather than medical opinion."

Cullen has said that stand off Briers, selected or not, will lead Wolves out on to the pitch for the dawn of the new era at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.
