Quote ="trys'r'us"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.

Quote ="reddan"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.'"

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.

Idiots don't understand such arguments, unfortunately.

Quote ="Wire_Yed_79"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'"



You lost all credibility naming those three.



Radlinski was vastly over rated. he got picked because he played for the wonders of Wigan, the darlings of the media.

Steadman was a Standoff who was played at fullback due to lack of available fullbacks when on tour.

Hampson was a great leaper of a football and was reasonably quick but otherwise average.

yet you offer none that are better.



Steadman was just as good at fullback if not better than stand-off.



My point was/is that this is the weakest position in our game and has been for as long as i can remember. You by calling these players average are just backing up my point
