He went on to become the primary playmaker of the side, and was named as captain in 2003. During that time Briers became well known for his excellent kicking skills and his ability to successfully convert drop goals. He currently holds the Super League record, and jointly Warrington all-time record (with Paul Bishop), for the most drop goals in a game (5 against Halifax at the Shay in 2002).

Lee Briers' Testimonial match at Warrington took place in 2007 and he stepped down as captain at the end of the season.
