Well you don't lose ability over night but with his current performances and level of interest Briscoe looks like a very poor player. He's put in a small handful of good performances over the last 2 years.

I won't be sorry to see him go at all, they'll be many players better than Tom coming through and more importantly players that want to play for Hull.

I really don't understand Tom if his drop in form is due to being uninterested. Surely he wants to be part of the WC squad at the end of the year, the way he's going atm I'd have him nowhere near the squad.

Hi bad form is down purely to uncertainty around his contract situation. He knows he's ballsed it up and that would play on anybody's mind. He could've taken a very good offer from us and had some stability but imo agents reared their heads and told him they could get a lot more, fair play to Tom for listening (if someone paid me more money to do my job then i'd be off) but he has been badly mislead. That sort of stuff will affect anybody on the field. He's not a machine he's only human and it will get to him

The only reason to keep it quiet is because it will upset people. So that means its either Leeds or Rovers in my eyes.

And it's not Rovers...

He's off to Leeds. Has been for a long time. Don't understand why they playing it down?

It's either Leeds or rovers and its not rovers?

So it's Leeds then....

Why would that upset anyone?

Hull fans don't like Leeds very much.

They're probably saving him from abuse like Shaun Briscoe got when it was announced he was off to Rovers before the season was over.

Yeah can understand that, but it's so blatently obvious that hes off to Leeds that I'm sure all the fans have accepted that now to not be bothered.

If he's signed for Leeds then it's up to Leeds to announce it when they're ready, not Hull or Briscoe.

We all know that he's going - and Pearson's said it on video - but it's Leeds' (or whichever club he's signed for) decision on when the announcement is.

Some on this board were unhappy that Hudgell had announced the Paea to Hull transfer, calling it unprofessional, and so they should stand by that opinion that it's up to the "buying" club to announce the transfer when they're ready.

Well Tom, you will be missed, but not as much as people would have believed. Form has been patchy to say the least and disinterested most of the time. Perhaps a move will reignite your career, and it needs to if you want to be part of the World Cup team. Good luck, wherever you go.

Does it matter where he is going? As a Hull fan the only information I need is that he isn't going to be a Hull player next season the rest is immaterial.

We have all known for months that he's leaving and I'm not bothered where he goes.

I do think its sad that his career at FC is ending this way. A year or two ago he was one of the hottest properties in rugby league but his form this year has been very patchy, possibly due to the uncertainty over his future.

I don't know whether its due to poor advice or poor decision-making but he now seems to have been forced into a move to another SL club, having turned down a lucrative offer from Hull and a move to the NRL having fallen through.

Wherever he ends up, be it Leeds, Wigan, Salford or Rovers good luck to him.

rlHe's not off to Leedsrl

That's from May. A lot can can change in that amount of time.

Is that the same Shaun briscoe who led hull out in his final game so the fans could pay him the respect he was due?.
Can't remember any abuse at all when he announced he was leaving.
