Quote jordanp="jordanp"Tony didnt have the right to pick and choose were he played, It was so simple, Briscoe was our first choice fullback, Motu came in when he was injured and played better for the back end of the 06 season in our grand final run in so when Briscoe came back he was second choice fullback and had to play in the centres and eventually cover the wing when Tingha left the club, then the next season we had Tony contracted and Briscoe off contract, we offered Briscoe a deal but he wanted a deal that was more then he was worth (at the time) and was offered this at Rovers, he left and become a much better player and fair play to him.
In hindsight it was a bad decision, but to say that Briscoe was released becuase Motu wanted to play fullback is stupid, he earned it at the time.'"
Excellent summary.
