Paul Gallen wants Tom Briscoe at Cronulla Sharks.

Them who want never get

Why would Briscoe want to go to the Sharks?

I'm not saying he would, I'm not saying Cronulla have even got the cap space/money to sign him, I'm not saying theyve have offered him a deal or even approached Hull.

But Gallen rates him, he doesn't think the Cronulla backs help out the forwards enough and believes Briscoes freak power would be a real asset.

Excellent recognition for Tom from a great player. I imagine Gsllen has a lot of influence within the club so will be interesting to see if this materialises beyond here.

I'm sure Tom will be with us for the next few seasons at least, but the lure of Sydney, the weather and playing in the NRL with it's expanding salary cap will surely turn Tom's head, or any player with ambition.

Interesting. Any link where I can read this, or was it an interview?

Source??? Or is it a made up rumour or logical thinking that try have space on the cap and they need a winger? Or did postman pat's cat give you the low down???

If they was looking for a player it should be Ryan hall. Briscoe wasn't great in the four nations so how would he get recognition over Hall?

I have no link nor am I prepared to give you a source.

Tommy is great in Super League, but almost exclusively only from dummy half. I think his inability under the high ball and lack of genuine pace would see him exposed in the NRL.

Their some very average wingers probably earning (a lot) more than Briscoe does.

I wouldn't say he lacks pace. He's not the fastest but is by no means slow. It's his strength and agility that make him the winger he is today. Defenders have trouble putting Briscoe to the ground which gets a quick PTB and saps the other teams energy.

1 off a few English players that could make the cut in NRL imo.

I think a few players did enough to suggest they would do well in the NRL:

Tomkins
Briscoe
Reed (already there)
Hall
Graham (now there)
Roby
Westwood
