Quote: Shabino "Briers would have been a legend at any club he stayed at. Would have had more passing options at Saints and I believe they would have dominated that Leeds team had he stayed. Andrew John's said Briers is best passer he's ever seen, just think about that....!'"
He was a superb passer, I know the pass for Monaghan in the 2012 grand final gets shown a lot, but he used to do that often for wingers like Smyth or Halliwell. It’s a skill to get the ball to Monaghan, but it’s a masterclass to make that pass and create that room for lesser players behind a beaten pack.
What I’d give to go and watch genuine halfbacks like that again who could actually create, not just play percentages.
