[b:1g6itio7][color=#000000:1g6itio7]Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.; [/color:1g6itio7][/b:1g6itio7]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_663.jpg |

Really needs help
French and likes Hull KR has to be a link to some form of mental common sense block.
For the record Tom took all his tries well and as a winger was in the right place at the right time and in my book is a great winger. Nothing should ever detract from his performance on the day.

You don't have to be considered one of the greatest wingers of all time to score 5 tries at Wembley - you just have to score 5 tries at Wembley.

As a modern day winger with incredible strength and pace TB is well on the path to be considered one of the top wingers of his era. The kid is ridiculously difficult to put down, gets penalties for fun when bringing out the ball from his 20 which is massively undervalued. He's not your typical uber fast flying winger but he's got a bunch of attributes that mean you'd have him in your side in a heartbeat.
Some of his chase downs to stop tries have been epic, one of the best in the HullvKR derby a few years ago when it seemed a simple run in with a three on one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7HVd1679tY
A couple of seasons ago at home to Widnes a game Hull were strolling Widnes got a break away and Tom ran him down making a stupendous last metre try saving tackle, most players wouldn't have bothered with a 40+point lead.
It shows that he's a tryer and to cap it all he seems to be a pretty decent human being
Froggie, you're an epic fail...do one! |

The best wingers in RL nowadays are rarely fliers as such. They have to be strong in the air in both attack and defence, and able to run the ball back hard.
Someone like Kevin Penny is unlucky to be in the wrong era - 30 years ago he'd have been a star.

| Most tries: 5 by Tom Briscoe (Leeds Rhinos v Hull KR in 2015)
Until someone gets 6 or more it's in the record books whether the Fake Frog likes it or not!  |
