Apart from getting done by Mogg (defending at centre) Briscoe had a great game and is the kind of player that doesn't solely rely on good service. For me on current form, Raynor would replace Calderwood because he is in the top few wingers in the competition and we cannot afford to leave him out unless he gets in and starts playing poorly.
Don't know if it was the same incident but Richard Horne got done by Mogg, West Stand side
I personally don't see Briscoe as a Winger. He has fantastic natural balance and strength but once he fills out more, and he will, I think he'll be more suited to the Centres.
Calderwood and Raynor are natural Wingers.
Calderwood especially has attacking qualities that we've not tapped into yet.
With Hall looking like covering the Full Back spot id use Briscoe as covering back whilst playing Centre in the U21's when not on first team duty.

Spot on for me.

Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

I would agree about his qualities however i would say that he is far more suited to playing on the wing as the work he takes off of our forwards when clearing our lines is superb and i personally think is a contributing factor to how well our forwards are playing ball in hand.

Yeamo does his fair share of dummy half runs.
Pretty much after every kick return the following play is a scoot from a winger which is what Briscoe excells at as he always get his nose through the tackle.
This all said the way Briscoe is playing he has to have a starting spot and i think it should be at G.Hornes expense once Raynor returns.

Aye
and theres nothing in the rule book to stop the centre dropping instead of the winger
