Agreed! Wellens is the best British FB in SL by some distance and that sadly says it all about our current situation.
Not International class imo
On a side note i like Briscoe his a tryer but he was awfull tonight. Wellens doesent make that many mistakes in a aseason. Let alone one game. |

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

I think it was when Briscoe played for Hull FC  |

[quote="dave m":36nw6ut6]Briscoe couldn't get into Wigans Team because of Radlinski even though Radlinski was playing crap at the time still better than old bent nose.[/quote:36nw6ut6]
[quote="redtillimdead":36nw6ut6]Oh and as for Briscoe,if he was that fab,why did Wigan see fit to let him leave?[/quote:36nw6ut6]:8903.gif |

Nope. Prescott, possibly, but certainly not Briscoe. Prescott's last season was 2003, so I'd say 6 years minimum that we've been without an international class fullback in the country and, even then, he didn't get a chance on the big stage.

I would say radlinski steadman and hampson have been the only decent ones in recent history. This has always been our weakest position in terms of depth and quality in britain |

Are you kidding?! I lost count of the try-saving tackles Briscoe made last night, and you're judging him on one knock on where the replays showed there was a huddersfield hand on the ball?! |

He made a few. He also made a few mistakes, at least one of which lead to a try. No big deal - that happens.
Briscoe is a very good FB. Just not as good as some people make out. Still probably the 2nd best British FB though. |

Yes, it's quite surprising that isn't it? |

Does he? A run out in an experimental England side doesn't necessarily indicate that at all.

True, and to be fair whilst it's nice if your club's players can gain rep honours, I'm more concerned with what he does for Rovers - and looking at the campaign so far, he's been excellent. |

Always get a bite in the right plaice.
Never complain about another guests attitude at a mutual friends BBQ the day after the event and then be told by that host that its your own attitude that stinks.
Be man enough to complain on the day !!!!: |

Would it have been so experimental if he had included a Hull player  |

They are currently the best side in SL and they have a great recent history.
Not arrogance just FACT [sizecan't believe im defending saints[/size
Wigan fans, Hull FC and Bradford are arrogant because they have won nowt yet act the same as when they were winning stuff and high up in the league.'"
Can be good without being arrogant though. Dobson would be good enough for any SL side. Although can only applaud Saints fans wanting to trust Eastmond, that doesn't mean they should rubbish other players. |

Saints will only stick with Eastmond, wheeler etc if Brough changes his mind and goes Bradford instead.
