Does anyone know if the strong rumours surrounding Tom are true? I guess if we have signed him we will not be making a statement until we have won the GF?
It would appear the RFL Mole believes it is a done deal !!!

he is briscoe in and bjb out to warrington

BJB in talks with Harlequins RU

This is new... anything to back it up?

I was told by some Rugby Union toffs, they described a Leeds player who had been in talks with Quins and played down there before at fullback but they couldn't think of his name, I mentioned BJB and they said " that's him ".

I just thought it was worth throwing it in, as it's not totally beyond the bounds of possibility. It seemed to me to be something that was very plausible.

That old myth again!

I'm not saying it's unrealistic at all mate, RU have and will always be interested in our talent. It's just that this is a new rumuor.

I asked about Briscoe earlier & told it is happening. I trust my source

I hope it's true - if he has to go. Wouldn't want to see him play for another SL side.

News breaking in Hull rlhererl.....

Would anyone actually be happy with this?

Quite a few on Twitter are strongly against the move?

This rumour just wont go away will it?

I do find it a little odd that GH would want to sign a replacement for a perfectly good winger though. BJB (IMO of course) would be one of the top 5 or 6 wingers in the league. Replacing him with a better, but only marginally better, player doesn’t make that much sense.

It could be purely a financial decision though – Briscoe is a free agent and therefore no signing fee and as BJB is still in contract we can get a few quid for him but this would seem a little harsh on young Ben.

It could be that BJB wants out, it wont be the first time that we’ve lost a winger because they got offered a better deal elsewhere – Calderwood anyone?

It’s not like we need a new winger as a priority is it, in fact I’d say it would be the lowest priority position in need of strengthening at Leeds. This is why I honestly believe that there is much more to this rumour than meets the eye.

totally agree. whilst briscoe is an upgrade on BJB as one renowned poster described buderus as a luxury this really is a luxury.

the front row is ponderous and aging rapidly and the need for a class hooker is a must.

no problem with briscoe signing but other areas need changing far sooner

I still wonder if BJB will be dropping to FB, Hardaker to the halves, burrow to permanent hooker and Sinfield back to loose
