"Kyle Briggs conspicuous by his absence tonight, expected to sign for Quins on loan this week."


Shame - I liked watching Klye progress over the last couple of months.

Makes sense if he isn't considered ready yet. Gets him playing at a higher level than u20s and gives him chance to make any defensive errors while he's learning at someone elses expense.

Doesnt make sense considering herbert isnt as good as him

Not disagreeing with you. I'd play him. But if he isnt gonna get in team now it will only benefit him to be playing at a higher level.

I can't see him at the club next year. Not based on anything other than a gut feeling I should add.

How long was his deal signed for?
he could come back a lot better for playing first team i get feeling with experience and confidence he could get up to speed a lot quicker because he could be a lot better if upto the pace of it.

Deal was 2 year.

Means nothing.

Wrong. Herbert at half back as an attacking option isn't as good as Kyle perhaps. Herbert in defence however beats Kyle into the ground. Royston at 1, Kearney at 6, BJ at 7 and Herbert at 13 using Langers as a 2nd rower or prop as that is essentially the role he plays whilst playing loose.

On an aside - the constant slagging off that Marc Herbert gets from certain posters on this forum is utterly ridiculous. I can't say he has had one BAD game for us. He hasn't been completely effective in a fair few but he doesn't miss tackles and, in a team with an (at times) incredibly leaky defence, that is a big thing. Playing him in the halves is blatantly not working and I wish Potter would at least try something different but as it stands Kyle Briggs isn't the answer.

A loan spell at Quins will work wonders for him (hopefully).

Another one with the ridiculous idea of playing herbert at 13. oh dear

Excellent news. That will weaken Quins too.

Who would have thought it though eh? The player I identified as being "worse than mince" is the first one on his bike after just half a season.

How odd.......

playing herbert at 13 ATM is stupid because he is small and lacks strength....everything you dont want from your most attacking forward.
in a few seaspns i see your point that her is a tacklng mchine but too small to play there ths year.
nexy year id leave him at 6 withjeffries at 7 or seymour (if we sign him) at7.
he needs to be with a srong , controlling half partner to play to his potential . ie when at canberra he had Terry capmese (arguabley one of the best players in the world) along side him .

Blimey when did Kylie Briggs morph into Wally Lewis. All this teeth gnashing is a bit strange he isn't a world beater.

Considering that you have previously stated that Kearney is no good, I think we can safely disregard your opinions.

Well in my OPINION i believe Herbert would be quite a useful 13, i wouldnt say Addy is much smaller or has more strength but he seemed to manage in that role earlier in the season - then pushing kearney up to 6 and having Royston back would give us a bit more creativity around the park

Im just voicing my OPINION so dont be going and shooting me down
