50% of the game is defending and only of the two can defend. Hence one of the two has 13GB caps the other has zero. And to finish off only one of the two has won Man of Steel. I guess all those GB coaches and all the players who vote for MOS can't be wrong. I rest my case.

Disagree with this completely, at their peak both these players were definitely international quality.

I think Briers is one of the best players super league has seen, he's always been consistant

Sorry, I should have made it clear what I meant. Neither competed consistently well against Aussie or NZ opposition when they had the chance.

TBH not many British SL halfbacks were up to antipodean standards.

How many chances did Briers get to compete consistently well against Aussie or NZ opposition?

And if 'not many' British SL halfbacks were up to antipodean standards, who were the few that were?

. ....since smith took control.

I finished your statement for you.
