Will was a victim last year of the worst sliding defence in SL, his ball in hand work was never in question but was left to look like a turnstile too often by the rest of the defence leaving him way too much work to do...

One thing looks certain this year , come on Tommy lad you have a long way to go to catch up to will sharp whi is by far the better of the two wingers presently.... a crack or two starting to show in Tom B??

Sharps had a good start to the season and has out performed our 'superstar' winger Briscoe.
Imo Briscoe has made his mind up and he wants to go to the NRL.

Why does the bigging up of Will Sharp's current form have to come with a dig at Tom Briscoe?

Not sure there seems to be a bit of an anti Tom Briscoe gang at the moment, not sure why, people think he is immune from criticism, but I have seen plenty on here over the past few seasons.

After watching every game this year I have seen no lack of effort from Briscoe at all this year and I am sure that he will come good.

It's down to the belief he is imminently leaving us so some have to convince themselves he's now rubbish.

Bit tough to shine on the wing when the opposition don't kick to you and your team mates never pass to you

My comments about Briscoe are not related to Sharp. I simply stated Sharp's form has been great and Briscoe's has been poor. People talk about Briscoe as this world class player who could play in the NRL but right now I believe he still has alot to learn and lacks game sense. He has all the attributes but his rugby brain isn't the best. Right now Charnley and Hall would be my England wingers if I was picking the team today.

I'm hoping Gentle will develop Briscoe's game.

Briscoe isnt playing well because the left side hardly sees any ball anymore. an when they do, it usually stops with yeamo..

Our left hand partnership has scored 6 tries (3 each) so far this season, our right hand side has scored 1.

Said the same in that pathetic thread after the Salford game where he was getting blamed for both of their tries in the 1st half.

Would have lost a heap of money on Briscoe becoming the rlfans whipping boy for this season.

He's shown himself to be capable of international rugby, which Will Sharp is unlikely ever to achieve. That's not a dig at Sharp, by the way, most players will never be good enough for international rugby.

I've never said Briscoe isn't better than Sharp, it's not even close. All I said is currently Sharp is in much better form.

Is he though ?

The main reason Sharp is getting praise is because he is getting targetted by sides and dealing with it well. Its not Briscoes fault sides never target him if anything its testament to how highly thought of he is.

If that was the only factor, but Briscoe has been relatively poor in attack this season too

The only difference I can see is that he isnt winning the penalties that he has been in the previous seasons and his carries from acting half may be slightly down. His finishing when given the opportuinity is still really impressive and he seemed to have a perfect try disallowed on Sunday.

I'd say he is. Briscoe seems a little distracted to me, he'll come good but considering how good he is I would say he is below par at present. He is not doing that much wrong but isn't performing to his usual high standards. For me the good thing is we now have two good wingers which can only be a positive. Well for now until Briscoe goes..?
