If there is a better English full back in this country I want to know why he's not playing in the Super League?? Wellens is past it, Smith is no where near (and believe me the Aussies love seeing his name on the team sheet), and Platt?????????????? I wont even go there!!!!
Only player that would get in would be Sykes IMO and thats only for his attack, I dont think there is a better defensive full back in SL than Brisk.

It's got nothing to do with Tony, I have the same criticisms of pretty much all British fullbacks. Check the international board throughout the period of the world cup, I was saying exactly the same things then about Wellens.
It is a big problem as far as I'm concerned, and it's a major reason why we're so far behind the Aussies. The attitude towards a fullback's role by many in this country is to hope that they're 'safe' and decent defensively. It's the same from juniors to the amateur game, into academies and at first team level. It's no surprise, with this attitude, that the best fullbacks in the league are all antipodean, and that's a trend that doesn't look like changing currently.

It isnt though is it. I think Briscoe is fantastic and played very well last night, and i like the guy. I just think as a FB in the top league you need more than he offers.

Absolute rubbish, funny how most other teams fans respect him as a top class full back but alot of the Hull fans on RLFans dont. I have many friends who are Hull fans and Ive not heard one claim Hull are better off at full back with out him, just seems to be the Hull fans on here that are of the opposite opinion.
