Always said Briscoe was a great solid player who you can count on. Rovers have got themselves a good quality player who will give 110% every game he plays. I do not think you can compare him to Tony as they both play a different style. Obviously Tony fits into sharps plans better than briscoe did, and when you look back at selections he has always favoured Tony over Briscoe at FB. Why?? I dunno

If he spilled the ball would it be classed as a knock on ?

If you think Tony is the only fullback that does this you are deluded as its common practice in fullbacks

That's a weird opinion. He's left handed and more comfortable passing to his right. The pass that went astray on Friday was probably more to do with him nearly being decapitated a minute earlier.

talk of irony at least he can to the left

You not watched much rugby then

He is quality but this is one side of his game that lets him down every time

Ask yourself the same question.

Three years ago maybe, but now it's one of his strongest assets, ask Rob Burrow.

He was passing to his right all night. The pass I assume you're on about (the forward one) was a long pass attempted just after he'd been clocked in the mush by Pickersgill and he clearly wasn't quite right.

As a matter of interest, how many pin-point long distances passes to the right to you reckon Briscoe puts out in a season?

Oh - and the "taking a high ball sideways" thing proves you don't watch matches very closely.

Can't argue with that.

He will get better now he is with a quality team.
5,4,3,2,1

If you've got the time, taking the ball facing sideways is much more sensible. Why take the risk of knocking-on if it is an unnecessary risk?

Catching a high ball side on is the correct way to do it for various reasons:

1. Less chance of a knock on

2. You have a stable platform (assuming your feet are on the ground) to withstand the tackler coming in

3. You present the hard parts of your body, Knee, elbow, shoulder to the tackler and protect the softer mid section.
