| I'll admit Im not a fan of his, I think he's terrible at full back but just for that try alone at Cardiff he will always be remembered fondly by most Hull fans.

| Quote jordanp="jordanp":lol:
While I dont think anyone would argue in hindsight that it was a poor move, I think that is an overstatement, first of all whos to say that if he had stayed at the club in the mess it is in now he would have become the player he is today becuase he has vastly improved, although still overhyped in my opinion, at the back on end of the 2006 especially and a lot of the 2007 season Motu was the better the fullback at the club, his form in our grand final run in was awesome and the Leeds away game in that period was one of the best ever individual performances from a Hull player I can remember, had it not been for the injuries this could have continued.
As much as we all hate saying it the Rovers move was great for Briscoe, he left us when we were in a serious slide after Cooke left and wasnt replaced, to a team moving in the right direction and looking to better itself, when he was here he was a great support player and gave his all but was very flawed in defence and he also let the ball bounce like Motu gets slaughtered for, he now seems to be a very solid fullback and very confident, I question if he would have progressed like he has at rovers if he was still at our club now with our negative rugby, poor coaching and general lack of player confidence at the club.'"
please tell me you are joking about the parts in bold defensively brisoce was brilliant for us and very rarely failed to catch the ball.
going forward his support play was brilliant the only thing holding briscoe back was his passing of the balll as he couldn't join the line as effectively as other full backs.
Letting briscoes go was the worst decision in recent history IMO and i will never forgive sharp for fletting him go

Unfortunately they won't. I wonder if most people will ever move on.

I would like to agree, but it is a (or one of the) contributing decisions which put us is in the position we currently find ourselves IMO. Therefore its still relevant, like it or not.

You hoestly think having Briscoe in the side would have made a difference to having no go forward, no game plan and a clueless coach?
He'll have to start wearing his pants on the outside of his shorts if you can back that one up mate.

I remember him often letting the ball bounce, and he was a poor tackler one on one. As for Sharp letting him go, he rejected a contract becuase he was advised wrongly that if he got an England call he would get a bigger contract, which didnt happen and we didnt have time to stand around while he made his mind up, if people said Cooke wasnt in a position to hold the club to ransom Briscoe definetely wasnt.

Wasting your time with that one, mate.
After Motu has gone there'll be regular threads about 'Superman' v whoever the next full back is.

I preferred Prescott to Briscoe but never once brought it up when Briscoe was at the club.

Um, I'm not sure that is what I said. I mean, it was a mistake, one of the bigger ones at that (from a rugby point of view, in recent seasons) and one of many, that has put us into this situation in the first place.
While I'm under no illusions regarding Briscoes abality, he definetly is the type of player that we could have done with in the last couple of seasons.

I guess the one thing we will never know is what his wage demands were, without that it is very difficult to evaluate what went on.
