He's a big boy though and didn't sign at gunpoint. Didn't Yeaman decide to ignore his former agent's advice? Anyway as has been pointed out, Shaun Briscoe gone and personally Motu has my full support.



Hopefully the next thread about Mots will be a Briscoe-free zone, although somehow I doubt it.

If my agent advised me not to sign for Hull and sign for rovers instead I would sacked him on the spot.

Motu has my full support as well.



The question was asked why people go on about Briscoe. In addition to all the points I've already listed, he hardly left us in the manner of Cooke or Carvell. Like it or not there's an affection for him that won't go away.

He didn't advise him not to sign for Hull, he advised him to wait to see if he got GB selection in 2006 which would earn him an improved deal at Hull FC under our wage structure, whereas if not he could get a better basic pay elsewhere. Wigan were also in for him at the time. The GB thing never happened and in the meantime Rovers had tabled a better offer and FC had withdrawn theirs. Bad advice, as it turned out.

Don't talk .



Some of the posts in this thread are highly entertaining due to how far wide of the mark they are.



As for Motu, we're desperately missing him at the minute.

I hope im wrong but I doubt we will see motu in a black and white shirt again, mindya the guy who were supposed to be looking at for next season is top notch. Byrne will do for me, as for Briscoe he isnt at our club so why discuss him.

you are the funniest poster on here!!

I'd kick the shiite out of him 1st, especially if he was a rovers supporter himself

Surely options for next year would come from current squad ??



Chance Skinny will be retained - can't be very expensive.



Either of current halves could be put to full back to accommodate our almost guaranteed top notch test playing half back who is definitely coming ? ( Hint of sarcasm )



Surely Craig Hall could do top class job there once his defence is sorted. Looking forward to seeing him soon, both centres offering little at the moment for me.

not knocking byrne but if he got a new contract i'd be concerned.

What a odd statement

not really. people just have different ideas what a full back should offer.

Why?

Dont think we have missed him greatly imo but my idea of a f/b differs from yours.

Whats the latest on motu, sheldon?

I don't think it does actually but I still think we've missed him.

not a clue mate.

Latest on Motu is.... Todd's a crap fullback

Aye....2 out of 2 wins with Todd as f/b

Yes... 2 out of 2 wins with Washbrook starting on the bench... Best impact player EVER!

Lets hope our luck has changed and for once we have a ' the results of Todds scan proved no damage and he is in the mix for fridays visit of the dragons'!!!

Cos we havent desperately missed him.



He would no doubt have added to our side but to say weve desperately missed him is way OTT.

I personally think we have. Maybe not in defence as Byrne hasn't done bad in that area but in terms of go forward and in attack, it's clear how much we miss Tony.

Ash thats such Boll$%£ the time will tell when he gets to play a game or 2.



Todd made 118m in his first game which was more then any leeds back player made in 2 games so hows that for go forward
