Time for Charli to step up
That's 4 main players out now no excuse but it's hit us hard

what was the injury? good lad is Briscoe, shame for him, hope its not too bad

Knee injury apparently

It seemed clear to me that Morgan was just speculating on how long Briscoe might be missing.

He doesn't really know and he wasn't saying he did.

We'll have a better idea when the medical people have had chance to do an assessment.

But we have a good replacement in Ben Cockayne. Cockayne is not everyone's cup of tea but full back is actually his best position, the position we signed him for.

I don't think Briscoe will be with us next season anyway. THat'll free up a chunk of salary cap and this is Cockayne's chance to show we don't need to spend it on a full back.

Well, no because he was going to hudds this season wasn't he

We also have a very good up and coming fulback in sherrif who imo is an outstanding prospect and is the type of player we should be blooding now.

Like Morgan will give him a chance

Cockayne states his favourite position is on the wing. Morgan doesn't like playing him at full back because he doesnt fit into his game plans there (not that his game plans actually work these days!).

Morgan has proven he will give kids a chance, Taylor, Welham, Hodgson...etc he gave Charnley his chance here, this shows he has no worries about putting a kid in if he feels they are ready, if Sheriffe isn't ready then I wouldn't expect him to be risked in such a pivitol position at SL level. Try him against York gladly but I'll happily wait for him to come through steadily and at a pace which suits everyone.

For me Kyle Eastmond was a fantastic full back who is out of favour getting boo's from his own supporters. Sure he is off to Union but he could come on loan for a month or two to cover Briscoes injury and I'll bet by the end of his loan spell he'd be catching Welham for top try scorer! Surely Saints would be looking to offload him for a month or so while the dust settles?

Morgan has already said Cockayne will be full back next week so please forget any fantasy island dreams about Eastmond.

And just how much effort would you expect from Eastmond Nick.
Not for me thanks.

If Ben doesn't fit into Morgans gameplan as a full-back then i suggest he alters his gameplan because he certainly is NOT a winger. Nor is he a prop/second row/loose forward. His best position is without doubt full-back and he should be an automatic replacement for Briscoe.

As for the youngsters thing, Scott Taylor is being played out of position (just like Mariano was) as is Welham (should be right centre) and Hodgson should be an automatic choice anyways after the grounding he got at Hull.

Also why do Rovers have a left winger who carries the ball in his right hand and a right winger who carries the ball in his left hand?? Makes about as much sense as Latus being interchange second row!!

Lots wrong with Hull KR at the moment both on and off the field. An interesting few weeks lie ahead me thinks. Oh, and i wouldn't go anywhere near Eastmond.

Widnes??

I know some people will see this the wrong way but as far as a fullback is concerned I think the loss of Briscoe will make no difference to our team. Briscoe has had a hand full of good games since we signed him. I like the kid as a person and hope he gets well soon but his loss is not as bigger impact as we think. He has missed more one on one tackles than any other player in our squad this season, he is slow and very iffy under a high ball. He has lost his attacking flair. Cockayne for me every time over Briscoe. Still a nice kid all the same.

I am truly sorry if that is true.Its no secret I am a big fan of Briscoe.Whatever may be said about him ,he cannot be accused of not putting his body on the line in any game.
