| Quote: Jimmy Carr "TB is the best defensively IMO, and will get even better.
Raynor on fire was the best attacking in my opinion, but all round Best takes some beating.
Having said that in 5 years when TB comes back to FC from Oz, he will be better than all 3 put together.
And he will come back as surely FC can negotiate first refusal? Or maybe not if his contract ends? I would like to think TB might do that for us either way?
To many questions for a first post I've confused myself..... ![]()
No, there'll be no first refusal for Hull should Briscoe go to Australia.
On the original point, I'd agree with the majority, Colin has been the Best winger in the SL era at Hull FC.

He is a good winger, with moments of class, but they are not consistent enough to be compared to Colin Best at the moment.
You could watch any match back from when Best was here (barring London at home in his 2nd match) and he did something that made you say 'wow'

Briscoe is good and some of the stuff he pulls off is incredible but Colin Best is ahead of him. Hands like dinner plates...

Listening to Humberside sport this morning I thought Gollum sounds in a good mood, I wonder if Pop Larvins money has gone through. Then he announced Tom is set to sign for Cronulla

Was big fan of Raynor, and Best was obviously quality, but I see Tom Briscoe as real quality as well. Strong, fast, powerful running and defending, and the ability to make something out of nothing. And he's still only 22. I feel he would go down well in the NRL and I wish him all the success he deserves.

Raynor was a fantastic player for us, particularly as he was just an unknown from Leeds reserves when we signed him.

I think there are some with Very Rose tinted glasses here for Colin best. CB had the advantage of having Centres who would pass him the ball and halves who could release our 3/4 line. With e exception of London away, griffin park, best never created anything for himself.
As for the poster who is waiting for Briscoe to trump Bests tries I suggest you look at the footage of the away games at Cas for the last two seasons, the away game at wakey in 2011. The Salford home game of 2011 and the leeds game of 2012. That's not taking into account the breaks he makes from absolutely nothing.
Briscoe is strong and fast. best and raynor didn't have his strength and hence, despite their high work rate, they never looked like breaking the line.
Now throw in that Briscoes centre rarely passes and there have been not real halves to speak of, I'd say TB is way ahead in most aspects of the game

I agree, he is a good solid player but it would not warrant silly money to keep him.

Colin Best for me.
As for Raynor and Briscoe, that would be very close and I'm not sure who I'd choose.
