Why any Rovers fan would come on here slating Briscoe the week before a derby is beyond me, Phillip. FC are obviously underdogs after your win at the DW tomorrow, but Briscoe generally gets the better of Fox. Not saying he will next week, but he does have a lot of "previous."

tom briscoe didnt have a good day today, well i suppose that makes him human, still oozes class and would walk into any team in the league

Awful today! End of. Should get as much stick as Sharpe - but will he???

no beacuse briscoe is consistantly good every week and is usally very reliable where as sharp has to make at leaste 2 mistakes every game

No he shouldnt seen as though the majority, if not all, of the points were scored down Sharps wing

it wasn't a high shot IMO... Just a MASSIVE hit ... it wasn't his arms that did the damage

Tom wasn't great today and will rightly so will take some stick but he is probably our most consistent performer who on so many occasions has got us out the mire and will continue to do so. There's not a club in super league who wouldn't want him in their team.

He hasn't been consistent this season. He was outstanding for 3-4 games, but i wouldn't say hes been a consistent performer this year.

hes been consistantly good where hes had 2 very poor games and had 3 or 4 special games but overall been consistant where as sharp has to get his usuall 2 or 3 mistakes a game

Well I disagree,he's had one very bad game against Wakefield at home and one not so good game today against Huddersfield imo. I struggling to think of any other games were he hasn't been consistent.

Has always bee dodgey under the high ball.....also his pass to Yeaman allowed Hudds to score after we had...why he off-loaded god knows but its Golden Balls so he wont get a slagging off.

Tom was poor today along with the other winger but most teams would attack the weaker side(common sense an all that)and one thing tom has is bags of strength so you wouldnt expect to nip by him to sneak one in without getting battered into the advertising boards

but people are saying hes had a shocker me included but theres a diffrence between him and sharp

Hudds came with a gameplan to put highballs to both wingers and they both looked awful under the high ball. Briscoes technique under the high ball is awful most of the time but gets away with it the majority of the time as he usually has plenty of time, but the kicks today were in the air for so long he was always under pressure taking them.

He made a couple of decent runs in attack but was pretty much starved of the ball for the majority of the game.

Oh i agree there is a lot of difference between the 2 but Goldenballs isnt the finished article like many believe on here....lets face it...we have problems with our wingers.

Briscoe....awful under a high ball and positonal play needs working on.

Sharp......just awful and not just from this match.....Get rid at end of season.

Lynne...nowhere near ready and may never be.

J.Briscoe......nowhere near ready as well
