Way hey! I see one of you has remembered the log in.

I think he does have the work ethic if he didnt get pushed out of the way all of the time. The FC fans that have seen Briscoe play for the last 2 seasons class his skooting as a real strength because of his natural strength. Difficult for you to write that area of Toms game off based on seeing him play twice for England. Back to Fox though so this doesnt turn into a Fox v Briscoe slanging match again.

Finally Mr Smith has picked the right man for the job, its took him a good while but after some silly mistakes it looks like he has seen sense!

Ah, the entire victory against NZ was down to Fox's inclusion then.

Yes, of course lol

Seriously though, picking the right players for the job is a start and Fox is the right man for job, he should have been picked to start in the WC and also for the opening 2 games of the 4 nations.

This, I'm afraid, is nonsense. Briscoe takes the ball up all the time in SL - in fact it's a strength of his.

What happened in the Aussie game was that on a number of occasions he got in position to take the ball up only to be pushed away by one of his team mates. Whether this was a deliberate move by Smith to try and protect him or not I don't know, but he was trying to get involved and being thwarted. All he needs to overcome that is more experience and self confidence.

5 to welham, nil to Brisc although as you say hard to compare

One stat does stick out (if its a true figure) that Welham made 458 tackles last year



thats a high number for a centre to do , although prob down to him being targetted

Not bad for a player who some say is a defensive liability

Well he didnt come 2nd in the missed tackle stats for nothing

Its all about the percentages dear boy

what happens at kc every friday???

nonsense eh? well what happened in the wales and france games then? he hardly ever came in to acting half, in fact in the france game he made only 1 acting half run in 80 minutes (i still have the games on sky+!). Are you suggesting he was playing to orders not to get involved?

As I said I think the kid is going to be a mainstay of the international side for years in his natural position of CENTRE and at a push I might have tried him inside foxy, but at the moment putting all club biases aside if your looking for a top quality WINGER to do the graft wingers do in the modern game I'd pick foxy everytime.
