Schoey was a sensation as a kid for the tigers in Aus! Played fullback and centre. Whatever you say about Schoey he won the Golden frigging Boot! The Highest award an RL player can get. For that reason alone schoey is a legend of the game! Come back when Briscoe gets a nomination let alone looks like winning one.

I have no idea what your on about with Flanders, are we talking Simpsons now ?
What's briscoe done in the game? played for England didn't do much. played well in a poor club side. Anything else?

You wouldn't have noticed Briscoe if he grew an afro, wore red boots and scored 7 tries.
I'm an England fan, I noticed Tomkins and Hall both have blinders but dislike both clubs just as much as Hull, if Briscoe played well I'd have said so, he didn't.

As an Hull fan I totally agree. Maybe he would be world class with a decent centre and halfbacks that can provide. Yeaman can't pass well for toffee and our half backs been useless in the past few years. To be honest a player like briscoe needs a player similar to Cookie when he was here to supply a good ball. Briscoe has the attributes to be world class. On the international front It's going to be hard for Briscoe to get a spot on the wing this year for England. When Briscoe has played for England he hasn't recieved the same service as Hall, that's why Hall has stood out more. He hasn't played well for us recently and it might see him drop out of the squad.

Injuries or union swoop aside i can't see him outing Charnley or Hall anytime soon for an international shirt. He's got loads of improvement in though,he's got the core skills of strength,speed and power,he's not bad in the air,just needs to sharpen up on his decision making both in defence and attack for me,he cost us the point against wire by getting sucked in which should never happen with a centre who can defend like Yeaman inside of him. He'll get better with the right coaching.

willing to test himself in the best copmpetition, has a number of clubs who would be more than willing to sign him up, its a chance he wants to take and good luck to him, he could stay in the uk all his career and be seen as a big fish in small pond like many others who gave up the chance to test themseleves in the nrl

Jordan Tansey and Richard Mathers were willing to test themselves in the best competition and had clubs willing to sign them up. Jack Spencer played only a few games for Salford before doing the same. Very admirable but doesn't make them great players.
