| He’s had 5 seasons too many at Leeds, stole a living since at least 2018
Ultimately signing him on balance has been poor/disappointing, considering some thought he was the best/top3 Winger in SL when he signed. Those 5 tries at Wembley will top a short highlight reel, his calamities reel is a 3 parter

Load of rubbish and very disrespectful to the player.

I’d say its harsh but fair.
I was delighted when we signed him we got an international winger to go with our WBW. After about 3 seasons we ended up with a championship std plodder

Not true . He was very good in 2017 and scored a brilliant try in the grand final. Has given his all since, though age and injuries have caught up. To stay ‘stealing a living ‘ is a load of nonsense.

| Briscoe's career has really fizzled out and he probably shouldn't have been re-signed last time round, and never used as a centre. Those were club decisions and shouldn't be held against him.
His highlights reel is far more than the 5 tries at Wembley - he consistently did well in big games (nine tries in five finals) and is one of very few players with three Challenge Cup wins with Leeds. I wish him all the best.

| The 5 try CC event was indeed his pinnacle and from that point he has got slower and lacked confidence on high kicks and lost the ability to tackle.
It would have been best not to extend his contract last time and I guess that came down to sentiment.
I wish him well but wish that would have been a few seasons ago. He will be lucky if anyone wants him now.

| Good luck Tom, been a good servant to the club over the years.
I'll forever be haunted by that last min dropped ball in the playoffs circa 2014 tho.

| It's difficult to know whether we could have expected more from him in recent years if we had better halves who knew when to go wide. Briscoe has been a good finisher as well as being strong in contact; he seems to have suffered in a similar way to the likes of Watkins and Hurrell (for example) who have too often been cut out of play under the likes of Agar. Not sure Fusitua gets too much ball now tbh.

| I think he’s a player who just needs to get his confidence back. I can see him moving to a top Championship club next year and being one of the best performing wingers in that league.

| I think TB was a massive confidence player, who was probably let down by our coached over the years.
The main use during his time was bringing the ball out of defense, which he was exceptional at. Teams could almost never get him on his back, and he would either stand in the tackle or play on his front. He also won us a lot of pens because of that ability.
When he was at Hull, he had much more of an attacking threat and looked like a world beater at times. At Leeds, I never felt he was given the freedom to back himself, to take players on the outside in the way Hall often did. He also looked massively affected by any errors, which he was very prone to at times.
Overall a great servant to the club, who won plenty of trophies. Still, I think there is a better player in there that could have been coached back into England contention had we used him in any other way than a battering ram on the 1st and 2nd tackles.
