Quote: Old Feller "Am I the only Rhinos fan who isn't a 100% fan of BJB.
As has been stated he's now 25, so no longer a kid, yes he's fast but IMV he doesn't possess Briscoe's ability to bust the line & make the hard yards in his own 20 from dummy half.
Also as a full back ( & a winger on attack) he's pretty secure under the high ball or bomb but kick the ball to him or past him on the ground & he nearly always struggles to cope.
Last week's game against Wakey when Smith kicked behind our line & he somehow flyhacked it forwards towards our posts leading to their try being but the latest example of this.
If Smith wants him at the Wolves to replace Hodgson then good luck to him.'"
I would have agreed with you 12 months back. But I think second half of last season and his games back this season he does look a very good player, and would I would prefer to see kept.
However, I am still in full agreement that Briscoe is a much better player.
