Total bollox. Briscoe has proved he can bust a few tackles but the guy simply isn't fast enough to ever develop into a world class three-quarter is this isn't something he can rectify where as Fox's weaknesses can be rectified as he develops.

I know what your saying, it's not like he's fast enough to score length of the field tries againt Hull KR.

Aye TS has only won two SL GFs, he knows nowt!!
Claptrap about Briscoe, all Fox can do is run fast, he has excellent pace but little else imo. In 5 years timie Briscoe will be way ahead of Fox and deep down you know it. Fox might be onto his 10th club by then
So the likes of Walker, Webster, Welham etc will never amout to top class backs as they don't have the required pace? Jesus did Morgs talk to you in the offseason about pace as it seems to be all you mention each week when comparing teams and players

Considering you dullers dont rate Fox (or any Hull KR player) you dont half spend a lot of time on here trying to convince yourselves you are better than us
Im not quite sure how a Fox / Briscoe comparison came into this but.....
Fox is the fastest man in SL and defensively has improved since his time at Rovers.
He is also deadly with the try line in sight, an out and out finisher.
Briscoe is one of the best prospects in the SL.
Strong above his years and with a fair turn of foot.
His longer term future will be as a Centre i would have thought.
Both can be dodgy under the high ball at times but thats the same for lots of wing men.
I will be delighted if Fox signs a new contract, if he doesnt so be it, the club and team does not revolve around 1 player.

Who doesn't rate him? He's in the top three english wingers in the league!

Agree with all of that apart from Fox fastest man in the league!
