When I took the players wife with me and family to game, yes they would be willing to have a chat.
Have it on just about the best authority you can get that TB's shoulders have gone. He can't lift his arms fully over a certain height. Leeds are actively searching for a replacement because he is done. Most frustrating part of this for me is that they have known for a while, but kept playing him. He is and will continue to be a liability on that wing.

his replacement is a world class young winger 20 miles away at wakefield. sadly, and this is where I have sympathy with brian, GH prefers to shop at aldi rather than waitrose. expect a cheap signing

This is absolutely spot on. The players inside Briscoe are offering no help at all and think when a kick is in the air think it's time for a breather. Yes ultimately it's Briscoe's responsibility to catch the ball but do we ever put kickers under pressure? Do we ever protect the catcher so he gets a clean catch at it? Week in and week out this is happening and costing us points and nothing is ever done.
Briscoe will rightly take stick for his performance and his lack of confidence means he has to be left out for a while now but other players have to do their jobs too.
Fair play to Hull for being relentless in executing a plan we all knew was coming by the way. Think that's called coaching.

firstly yes it has happened all year and secondly you are wrong. one person didn't see it coming. our brian
firstly it was talanoa he beat in the footrace not fonua, he played well for us and imo no problem going to his hometown team, looks short of confidence and cert didn't get no protection from his teammates yest, if its true about his shoulder then that's pretty bad, hope it isn't and he gets his confidence back, always liked tom, apart from when he plays us of course, Plus them 5 tries well you gotta love him,

I am sure that was not the full instructions to Briscoe. I do not think he was told not to tackle either!
