That's why he looks like a poor man's Danny Tickle when trying to play the same barge- role. We need to get more out of his footwork and hands than brute force IMO.'"
Careful. Don't challenge Voodooroo Bennett on the technicalities of Rugby League. It's not a battle you're likely to win. |

That could be a very valid point and I accept what your saying , he is most certainly not a tough guy smash and barge type 2nd rower but i am certainly not seeing the ball handling loose forward style some say he has in his armoury and feel if he has this sort of skills then its time we utilised it as he isnt an impact player is he |

| Quote carl_spackler="carl_spackler"I'd say it's more that he deliberately turns in the tackle to look to offload the ball, and losing the collision is the price of this. The key is to get players to follow him in and exploit it, thus cutting out the resulting slow PTB. We don't need all of our props to be looking for the floor every time, the variety will do us good. IMO he's been our best mid-season signing and well worth a place next year on current form.'"
Agreed done a good job since he came in. |

| Quote FC Wembley 08="FC Wembley 08"Go back to the videos of last season. Briscoe was at fault for more tries than Will Sharp in terms of errors. People just refuse to see the huge flaws in Toms game.
He is a very good rugby player and has huge potential but since everyone has, as usual, overrated a young players game he has not kicked on sufficiently. He isn't, and very likely will never be, world class.'"
FFS.
I bet you used to blame Blacklock for all and sundry didn't you.
Other than dropping the ball / allowing it to bounce, the winger is usually the one who can do nothing about the impending try due to the poor defensive effort in field. Are you saying Briscoe spilled more than Sharp last season?
You keep saying he will never be world class. I haven't seen anyone claim he is world class. He also doesn't have HUGE flaws in his games.
What happend, did he run your dog over or something? |

You're getting me all wrong here. I dont blame any player for a defeat. Last year people were saying get rid of Sharp when Briscoe was a worse offender.
Let me get one thing clear, I am not saying we should get rid of Briscoe. I like him and think he is very good but he's not as good as some on here make out.
That's all. |

Briscoe is one of the few players, that can produce something to change the momentum for us. |

| Quote FC Wembley 08="FC Wembley 08"I don't feel that it is a knee jerk reaction. Search my posts and you'll see that I've long been concerned about some aspects of Tom's game.
He's not a bad player by any means but he's a little bit 'rocks & diamonds'. He is weak defensively and very poor under the bomb. Watch him without blinkers on.'"
You watching the same Tom briscoe as everyone else? He's brilliant. Clueless you. |
