Quote: Freddie Miller. "Well worth rising at the crack of dawn to watch this match. My man of the match was Houghton with over 50 tackles including the try saver on French. His positioning to be where he was to affect the tackle was superb.
Loved the contribution by Lee Briers on the broadcast team - currently he is an assistant coach at the Brisbane Broncos who currently lead the NRL ladder and he confided that he coached Houghton when he played in an under 9's team. Said even at that age he was a player with loads of energy who never gave up.'"
Hull Boys club, same team as Craig Hall. Briers did a couple of coaching sessions as he is married to Dave Halls daughter, and Dave was the coach at the time.
I was in the same team. Good times, and correct even then he stood out. Could have been a bit older then under 9’s like but won’t of been far off
