Quote ="Jack Napier"But Briers was in that latter category. Sometimes a great talent needs a great coach.
I'm not saying he'll reach Briers' level but Livett has just won Salford's staff and fans player of the season.
He's a very good player and we shouldn't have let him go, he's still only 24.'"
I take your point, and I really do hope he kicks on to be the player we thought he might become. Certainly not Briers standard though. What Briers did sporadically between 96 and 2009 was at a level far above what most can achieve. Briers was, in his day, utterly brilliant. If he could have brought that to the table week after week he would have a statue outside the stadium.
