Constant comparison between players at the two Hull clubs is not the fairest or best way to judge them. I do it, of course, but if we binned all the players not good enough to get in the other's best 17, we'd be playing 9s. And you're good at 9s, so I don't want that.

I'm happy with Welham at Rovers.

Could you see welham going the full length evading tackles like Briscoe has proven he can?
