For me, Briscoe is the more skillful, whilst Ryan has more power. Be nice to see both turning out in the Rhino's colours next season......

so that Briscoe looks like a penalty machine

So on those stats

Briscoe has:

-More metres/carry.
-More tackles/game
-More offloads
-More runs from dummy half
-More tackles busts
-More marker tackles (although the difference between the two is negligible)
-Less missed tackles

Ryan Hall has:

-Less penalties
-More attacking kicks
-More clean breaks
-1 try more than Briscoe

but yes, obviously you're 100% able to claim that Ryan Hall is the better winger based on the performance in 1 game. Consider how they play over a series of games rather than just the one.



FWIW, as a personal pov I think that both Briscoe and Hall are great players, and I would like to see both on the wings for my club and England. As I have very tinted glasses about this, for obvious reasons, I do prefer Briscoe but I think that they're both good players that have their own strengths and weaknesses.

You also ignored Hall having more more tries, more metres, more carries per game, more clean breaks, and more assists all in a game less. You were right, those glasses were pretty tinted.

and more winners rings

The difference in tries is negligible, there's 1 between them but yes, you're right, I did overlook that stat.

Metres and carries were grouped together into metres/carry, if you go back and read my posts.

Clean breaks - fair cop, missed that one. I'll go edit it into my post.

That doesn't automatically make him the best. Paul Gallen plays for Cronulla but he's still widely considered the best 13 in the game at the moment.

Relax. Nobody is saying Briscoe isn't a good player, and a lot of us here would be very, very happy to see him in a Leeds shirt.

Indeed.

I just think Hall is better.

That argument just doesn't hold water because Ian Kirke has 3.

Reeled in by Agenda1 and his half-a-season-ticketed sidekick.

Aren't there some satistics you could trot out for us, diet TVOC?
