Been let go at end of this season so if we aint got cockayne who we gonna get

Widnes bound?

Shall we just have one rumours and recruitment/retention thread?

Until I/we decide - sorry to see Briscoe go. Been a great servant to the club.

He has bin hasn't he god Knows who were gonna get can see a Billy slater thread coming on

although briscoe isnt what he used to be hes still a good english super league standard fullback and on that i cant understand why the club have let him go what better english fullbacks are they that are occ poor decision i feel

If Charlie is kicked out I can't see us going with just Sheriff.

Not many options in the English market, Aaron Murphy?

Matt Bowen looks SL bound, wouldn't we need to lose Clinton to look for a quota player though?

Briscoe to Widnes surely, great guy. I can see why we are letting him go as we need someone who can link up in attack (Briscoe cant at all) defence is sound so i can only hope weve got someone lined up for a replacement.

On the note above; we can only hope so - i dont want a player here at our club that has turned around and said to a member of the coaching staff that hes only here for the money(and you can tell with the effort he doesnt put in!) and said disruptive things to 1st team members of the squad acting as the big "I AM" wouldnt be much of a loss but then we would have to keep hold of Watts for sure.

Shocked you're letting him go. Would have him back in a heartbeat at the KC. Great bloke and would love to see him back in black and white. The one Rovers player I'd never shout abuse at!!

Everyone keeps saying 'we have let him go'
Has anyone thought that it maybe SB's decision?

Briscoe confirms it on his twitter; "Yes I'm leaving Rovers, had 3 1/2 great years here so far and still more to come. Thanks for all your support and messages. We've still got things to achieve this season so finish on a high. Wish I'd of got chance to tell the boys before it was announced." - twitter.com/#!/sbrisk1

No he doesn't.

You've got a non fed space available.

Think Rovers next signing should be a new chief executive, the current ones handling of recruitment and retention is an utter shambles.

Real nice kid but not good enough to take us forward. Wish him well but not a fan of him at all.

Colbon next to go along with Vella

Fewings of the Mail said on Sportstalk tonight that attempting to bury the bad news of stalwart Briscoe's departure as a derisory footnote in the announcement about Galea was a "complete disgrace by that club".

It does seem a bit strange that they haven't let Briscoe tell his team mates first.
