Much as I rate Mick Govin we have to remember:

a) His injury record – who would play 6 if he gets injured? Not that unlikely considering previous injuries.
b) His best position is at hooker, he is OK at 6 but not the best in the division by any stretch.
c) He doesn’t dictate the game as Holroyd did and produce the tactical kicks that can turn defence into offence. I think Briers would provide this additional option to the team and having 2 quality players compete for the shirt would improve the squad.
d) Players of this quality aren’t always available – so you have to get them when you can.

If the opportunity came along to sign Briers and we could afford him I would snap him up. Briers and Black could be lethal. People are too quick to believe hearsay about a player. Holyroyd changed our season when he arrived – the best teams always look to strengthen when they can.

Good one that. It's a long time since I read a"Mad" comic. Do they still produce them??

The joke would be on all the other teams.

Well, did anybody see him?? Or did he secretly sign for Fev and score all their points at 'Haven with drop goals??

A little birdy tells me he was in the Mascot suit.

He is far from being Briers!
