3 tries, 4 assists and the crucial drop goal in the last minute.
Would still get slated though!

To be honest I would have thought you would have found yourself more at home on that forum, think you would fit in nicely.

Not yet. He'll get man of the match and be the first name on the team sheet for next Sunday - when he'll be absolutely terrible.

Shame it would leave a great big void on this board though.
As I have said time and time and time again (yet some people STILL do not get it), I realise that there is a hell of a lot of work for Mr Potter to do and I will give him and the side as much support as I can. However, I will not, and never have done, sit here and give fawning and false praise to someone just because it is seen as the right thing to do.
I support Bradford Bulls. Therefore I like to see them win. Therefore I wish we had better players in some positions than we have. Therefore I wish kyle Briggs was a top quality signing.
But at this stage, he most certainly is not.
Now that I have made that clear can we move along now? After all you claim I am tiresome yet still keep looking for a response from me. Or are you simply talking to yourself?

However, just to make it clear to you and anyone else out there, there is no "glee" for me that it appears we have signed a complete dud but I ain't gonna sit here and defend someone that looks like he offers the club nothing at all, especially when he is in one of the positions we have been crying out to be filled for some time now.
As I said, I hope he proves me wrong but at the moment he looks to be nothing other than an extremely bad signing that looks more and more of a panic buy by the week.'"
False dichotomy. There are options between defending a player and writin them off as 'mince' and 'pish' and any of the other highly technical terms you use in your oh-so-forthright analysis.
Apols to those of you who hated the Eddie Wars first time around but I don't like to have people thinking RAB is full of moaning tw.ts when it's only half full of them (or should that be half-empty?).

| Indeed there is a hell of a lot of work for Potter, I'm sure when taking on the job he knew this was the case though and as we saw with his time with Cats and Saints last year with injuries he seems to excel when the cards are stacked against him.
No one wants to argue on this site, we are all here for the same reason. The problem is when people start to write off players without justification and without first giving them a chance (which you did) then this starts a negative feeling. As you have now explained you have your reasons for questioning Briggs, which is fair enough and I partly agree, why you could have not said this in the first place rather than just referring to him as a dud is what bugged me.
Indeed we can move along, hopefully we will kick on today with a better performance against the Cats.

Ooh. I see what you did there.
Dead clever that.

While I agree that Briggs may not have shown his quality yet, I hardly think 2 games (one of which ended with an injury for the lad) is enough time on which to base judgement on whether or not he'll make it as a SL player.
But your statement does seem to show that you've already made your mind up about him and won't be convinced otherwise

| Imagine if Lesley Vinakolo was only given 2 games to show his worth? Crap in his 1st year, what did he do after that

I hope to be eating humble pie very soon in regards to this.

That's where I am with Briggs. I am concerned whether he has the quality to make it but will give him a chance
