| Quote: lummy "People are obsessed with us keeping Tony for Briscoe. Sharps biggest error is keeping Sing for Briscoe. How can this man still be on our books, never been 100% fit. You only had ONE full season to suss it out MrSharp and you ballsd it up. Tony could slot almost anywhere covering for the likes of Sing and we could have kept Shaun at no.1. Ridiculous decision. Fair play to rovers for capitalising on our stupidity.'"
Sing was our top try scorer last season mate.
Yet again though we see some of the worlds best come to Hull and be dubbed rubbish by wannabe coach's. |

I doubt it as Motu is contracted and we have other priorities. |

Tony isn't bad and infact he brings different things to the full back role which Briscoe didn't, the thing is we won't see them qualities till we have good halfs on the park.
Still I'd rather have Briscoe, prefer my FB's to be more safe and good support play. |

| Quote: fc baldy "Read the posts on here some good and bad points on Briscoe.I like my Full-back to be safe under the bomb,deal with the rolling ball and be safe in defence all of which Briscoe are but nowadays the full-back is seen as a "pivot" returning the ball well and linking up well in the back line all of which Tony does well.
I can understand Sharps reasoning for releasing Briscoe( but he wouldnt have been released if he had accepted his new deal on offer at the time),i think even you rovers fans on here will agree that briscoe can only play fullback and cant cover anywhere else(as his performance in the drby battering proved),which i think led to his release and the signing of Byrne who can cover 3 positions.I personally would have kept Briscoe with Motu as cover for fb/wing and hooker but we will have to trust Sharp on this one.'"
See your coming round with the FB pivot role mate 
Briscoe is a good FB, safe under the ball, good defense and support play. Where as Motu has them 3 plus more in attack so why would we want to keep Briscoe ?
And why do people think we'll be after a FB for next season  Tonys still under contract next season and will be our no1 again. |

Not at all, I think Tony isnt good enough and you will possibly looking for a new FB next season. My opinion, not yours.

he has proved his worth in the NRL, SL and on the international stage.
no other full back in SL has done that
greenshields, wellens, briscoe, mathers, thorman and platt are the best of the rest. theres not a lot between em, on their day they can all be quality.'"
Never said he wasnt. I highlighted the players i thought Briscoe was better than, imo. Webb wasnt one of them! |

Sharp made his decision no doubt based on his opinion of the relative of merits Motu Tony and Briscoe as well as the constraints of the salary cap.
I am more than happy that we have signed Briscoe.
Although there are positives to have players with the utility tag attached , sometimes having a player in a dedicated postion is the answer.

| Quote: Roverswall "Its just such a shame that Tony is awful when confronted with a low bouncing ball eh ![]()
There was some stats shown on sky towards the end of last season with most yards/carries made by full backs returning the ball. Brisco was about 9th out of 12 and i think motu was high on the list 3rd maybe.
So they both have differen qualities and its unfair to compaire them as they are different style full backs. There is no doubt briscoe is a quality player tho and i dont think anyone is questioning that!
