I can understand Sharps reasoning for releasing Briscoe( but he wouldnt have been released if he had accepted his new deal on offer at the time),i think even you rovers fans on here will agree that briscoe can only play fullback and cant cover anywhere else(as his performance in the drby battering proved),which i think led to his release and the signing of Byrne who can cover 3 positions.I personally would have kept Briscoe with Motu as cover for fb/wing and hooker but we will have to trust Sharp on this one.
See your coming round with the FB pivot role mate
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.
