I guess it depends what you mean by international standard.. I just feel someone who offers so little in attack is not international standard. I think Briscoe is an honest guy but simply isn't good enough.

And of course he'd not be getting the slating his namesake is getting from rovers fans got if he still played for FC either.

Now your just embarrasing yourself. Are you trying to tell me that Tom would have scored that try? Centres can't jump like that!

Foxy is getting good raps on the VT which is where the fairest assessments of his 2 games can be found.
Away from the HKR/HFC bitchfest.

I thought he did well in both games and has a chance to be around the international scene for a good few years now.

Guess no Rovers fans want to comment about this then?

So he's gone from the best full back in the country whilst at Hull to Mr average at Rovers



Never mind, apparently the hype is now Hull have signed a full back with amazing potential who could be the fullback for the next world cup

Would that be the same VT where fans were stating Briscoe was hung out to dry by Smith and McGuire?

Funny I didn't see you pointing Zod that way?

I'll take the bait.

Tansey hit Jake Webster with both knees after he grounded the ball at CP in July. Last night, Briscoe went in with 1 leg in an attempt to stop the Aussie going round under the sticks.

The RFL reprimanded Tansey, somehow I doubt Briscoe will get the same.

Is that the bite you were after?

I never thought he was the best full back in the country... very far from it, I much prefered Motu to him.

Leading with the leg is still leading with the leg isnt it?

Pity your club couldn't have kept their loyal servant then because it appears no other club coach shares your view hence his failure to land another team.

Or maybe his recent injury record and fairly large wage demands are putting clubs off?

From A Rovers fan. Most of us, myself included apportion no blame to Tom Briscoe for the earlier defeat, agreeing that he'd been let down by Smith and McGuire.

If all else fails just make something up.

Briscoe isn't as effective in attack as he was under McRae. His strike rate was far greater for Hull, he seems a little lost in attack these days.

See my previous post, first line.

Garbage, fox and hall (and briscoe) are light years behind tehir aussie counterparts

Morris didnt seem too bothered about it Dave, didnt say a word to Briscoe.

Did you not see him stand up and glare at Briscoe ready to tw*t him before his team mate ushered him off?

i think we more then matched them in the forwards, but when it came to the backs, well theres always next year......

i saw him stare at Briscoe yes, but that was it,

i think your reading to much into it TBH.

The main man for me is Cameron Smith. The guy is a machine, dictating play, top defence and a punishing kicking game. We really are lacking a dictating hooker in this country.

there all machines arent they???

i remember growing up and hearing how the Aussies are 10 years infront of us, well they still are im afraid.

FWIW i dont think Briscoe did anything wrong. I'm just raising the point as there was a fair few people on here calling for Tansey to be banned for life earlier in the season.

appology accepted dave



seriously though, you see 1 thing punished 1 week and let off the next, Greg Inglis try would be disallowed next week,(if there was a game that is) high tackles/grapples are punished 1 week and let off the next,
