We have not had one since Briers. I know Morley was the captain but Briers was the voice.
Completely agree. Morley was a superb leader of men. Physically he was intimidating, the kind of guy that when he arrives at training, the rest of the squad try to impress.
Briers knows rugby inside and out and steered the team. When we were good, he was behind it. One thing is for certain, if he was playing a few weeks ago in the Saints play off game, we wouldn’t be kicking for goal 30 yards out when they are down to 12 men, missing one of their best forwards. We had a chance to put the ball in the corner and take some energy out of their tanks, and a huge opportunity to post points, and came away with 2 and gave them a breather.
Williams and Dufty are gifted athletes, and Williams in particular is a great competitor, but compare smarts with Briers and Hodgson and you can see how much we have regressed.
