he has proved his worth in the NRL, SL and on the international stage.
no other full back in SL has done that
greenshields, wellens, briscoe, mathers, thorman and platt are the best of the rest. theres not a lot between em, on their day they can all be quality.
Never said he wasnt. I highlighted the players i thought Briscoe was better than, imo. Webb wasnt one of them!
I enjoyed visiting Craven Park a hundred times more than the KC.
Hull KR supporters generally seem to be a much more genuine lot than the West side of the city and unlike the KC there was never any threat of anything 'kicking off'
I'm sure these comments will annoy genuine Hull FC supporters, but unfortunately your neighbours show how supporting your team is done correctly.

Briscoe is a good FB, safe under the ball, good defense and support play. Where as Motu has them 3 plus more in attack so why would we want to keep Briscoe ?
And why do people think we'll be after a FB for next season Tonys still under contract next season and will be our no1 again.
Its just such a shame that Tony is awful when confronted with a low bouncing ball eh

I agree with some things that have been said about tony, he is not great under the high ball or low ones lol. this doesnt make him a bad full back tho.
There was some stats shown on sky towards the end of last season with most yards/carries made by full backs returning the ball. Brisco was about 9th out of 12 and i think motu was high on the list 3rd maybe.
So they both have differen qualities and its unfair to compaire them as they are different style full backs. There is no doubt briscoe is a quality player tho and i dont think anyone is questioning that!

Ben Cockayne is good at returning the ball!
Does that make him a better FULLBACK than Briscoe?

I wasnt saying tony was better than briscoe i was saying they both have different qualities. Some of your fans thought bellend was better than briscoe before you signed him

Look, lets clear up something here, last season Ben WAS a far better full back than Briscoe because he played for you lot, now he is a Rover he obviously is much better, understand now, good
