Briscoe is a outstanding prospect but we are making him out to be a world beater,he should be used as cover when Raynor is fit(if he comes back into the team) but shouldnt be let nowhere near the centre position yet.
That better for you.
He is a world beater either that or I am a man Have faith the boy is the real deal

Any chance we can lock a thread once that "C" word arrives in it? Yeah, enough is enough and we're all getting bored, but really, summarising a further amount of "nothing" every day is just getting boring.
I got this link off here the other day and its the first thing I check in a morning, if there's nothing on there, then I forget about it for the day due to the UK/Australia time zones, I would imagine the Ozzies wouldn't want to miss out on a chance to report it first?
I'm not having a go at people who want to know, but really, we're all fans that know James Rule never says anything unless he has something to say. Boring it maybe, but that's the guy that's in charge and that's how he wants to do things.
(I'll get off my soap box now)

Totally agree here......I've not seen a better prospect at Hull FC at that age EVER!
The last time a player 'just appered from obscurity' on the scene and became an instant sensation was Kevin James in 1985.......Fastest winger FC have had IMHO (correct me if you think i'm wrong though ) There have been other 'instant hits' like Dean Treister's stint at the club and the great Peter Sterling, but Tom Briscoe is shaping up to be a player we will remember for years after his last game. Dare I say a legend in the making!!!!! He is the real deal
Not forgetting he has siblings that play too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if that's the case he wasn't at fault then was he?
I agree with Hutchie though, you don't really lose games because of your kicker, especially if they are all touchliners. At home you should be crossing the tryline enough to win games like Friday IMO.
If Tickle had kicked the goals we could have won.
If Agar had taken the kicking duties off Tickle when it was clear he was missing, we could have won.
If Agar had made better use of his substitues, we could have won.
Or is there nobody to blame, where there no circumstances under which we could have won?
It's getting all sycophantic on here again, and so early in the season.

If Yeaman had passed to Briscoe we'd have won.
If Berrigan had passed to Thorman we might have got a point.
If Calderwood had stayed away from dummy half in the last set, likewise.
If Hall had taken the bomb or gathered the loose ball cleanly we'd have won.
If Briscoe had gathered Thorman's pass we'd have won.
If Dowes had tackled Westerman we'd have won.
If (Dowes again?) hadn't bought McGoldrick's dummy we'd have won.
If someone had actually ran to chase down Sherwin's drop we'd have got a point.
If one of several (any?) players could successfully pick out Calderwood with a pass we'd have won.
Of course people are entitled to opininons, but to pick out 2 people in a performance that was pretty obviously the worst of the season by several and littered with errors from multiple individuals is far from accurate in the opinion of many others it would appear. Or are they not entitled to opinions because theirs happen to disagree?
