Unfortunately, we don't have an international class fullback in this country, and I can't remember that last time we did. All the best in SL are antipodean and that doesn't look like changing in the near future. Until the general attitude to how a fullback should play changes throughout the game here, we're going to be a long way behind in this position. |

Agreed! Wellens is the best British FB in SL by some distance and that sadly says it all about our current situation.
Not International class imo
On a side note i like Briscoe his a tryer but he was awfull tonight. Wellens doesent make that many mistakes in a aseason. Let alone one game.

Nope. Prescott, possibly, but certainly not Briscoe. Prescott's last season was 2003, so I'd say 6 years minimum that we've been without an international class fullback in the country and, even then, he didn't get a chance on the big stage. |

I would say radlinski steadman and hampson have been the only decent ones in recent history. This has always been our weakest position in terms of depth and quality in britain

Are you kidding?! I lost count of the try-saving tackles Briscoe made last night, and you're judging him on one knock on where the replays showed there was a huddersfield hand on the ball?!

He made a few. He also made a few mistakes, at least one of which lead to a try. No big deal - that happens.
Briscoe is a very good FB. Just not as good as some people make out. Still probably the 2nd best British FB though. |

True, and to be fair whilst it's nice if your club's players can gain rep honours, I'm more concerned with what he does for Rovers - and looking at the campaign so far, he's been excellent.

Can be good without being arrogant though. Dobson would be good enough for any SL side. Although can only applaud Saints fans wanting to trust Eastmond, that doesn't mean they should rubbish other players.

Saints will only stick with Eastmond, wheeler etc if Brough changes his mind and goes Bradford instead.

It's an experimental team. It gives the likes of Tomkins and Briscoe a chance.

Agreed.
I rate Briscoe highly and always have done. He has his faults, and I'm not convinced that he's International class, but he's a fine player and a great bloke.
