Congratulations on picking up one of Hull FC's top young players. Looks like during all the distractions that have been going on at Hull recently your club has swooped under the radar and picked up the youngest of our Briscoe Brothers. From the article below the club don't seem very happy and you may have got yourselves a star in the making. Good luck Luke www.hullfc.com/newsarticle.aspx?n=19188

Good work by Mrs Hetherington

Was thinking the same!

[i"However, Leeds Rhinos are understood to have been informed externally of the expiration of this deal and made a subsequent offer of their own which the player has since agreed terms on."[/i Wonder how that happened?!










[i"[Luke was held in high regard at the club, not only by the current management and Directors but also those previously in charge that have since moved on to pastures new."[/i
*COUGH* Kath *COUGH*

What position is he?




(and when is their kid following?

)

echo those sentiments, she obviously had the info and passed it onto gary.

Stand Off or Full Back apparently. So McDermott's starting him in the second row tomorrow night.

Very surprised given that his Brothers play for you aswell.
What's his best position and how much of a "prospect" is he?

I've only seen him play once. About 2/3 months ago. June/July ish. Was hammering it down and very scrappy but he did a good job. They convincingly beat us anyway. I was watching him like a hawk (coincidentally) all match, mainly because of his surname. He didn't blow me away but in his defence it wasn't really that sort of game. He was certainly very solid with ball in hand, even in very wet conditions. He played 6 that day. Apparently he can play FB too.

I can't claim I know a great deal about him, listening to other posters on our Board who watch the kids regularly this sums him up well, a good prospect but not one of the stand out players in the team, we have better prospects than him currently at that level but still dissapointed to lose him.

Looks like nantwichexile has finally got through to McDermott with his campaign to giving the young ones a chance!



I wish him all the best but I’d like to see Martin Gleeson at our club if he can sort his personal problems out. He’d be a terrific centre for us!

Martin Gleeson?

Gleeson, what with all his baggage?
Damo the club would get into less trouble if they signed you pal

A lot of Wigan fans were disappointed to see him go. Especially after his two try display at Old Trafford last year. He could do a brilliant job for us when Kallum Watkins is injured.

Not so sure he could play the whole season

I can’t really comment on what’s happened off the field in regards to Martin Gleeson but there’s no doubting of his talent on the field.

We've been here before with Sam Burgess less talented brother and Ade Gardener's less talented brother.

You kidding?!



Been there, done that. Dissapointing to see one of the talented Briscoes off.

A nice little parting shot from Kath perhaps? We will never know I guess...god she winds me up! We clearly had a system with our youngsters which was not watertight and that's down our her. Ironic really. We should have had this guy signed up. At least our new owner will ensure this does not happen again.

From the people I've spoken to the general consensus is Luke is not as highly rated as Jack or Tom, but only time will tell with these things. He could turn out to be a world beater.

Leeds snap up top prospect- thought this was another Richard Moore thread

If only Tom would follow to take Number 2 at Leeds in years to come.

1. BJB
2. T. Briscoe
3. Reed
4. Watkins
5. Hall
6. McGuire
7. Burrow
8. Cuthbertson
9. McShane
10. Peacock
11. JJB
12. Ablett
13. Sinfield

14. Clarkson
15. Delaney
16. Bailey
17. Leuluai

18. Kirke
19. Hood
20. Pitts
21. Amor
22. Hardaker

A young prospect has to leave Hull. Where's the growing room there?

They would rather spend 6 figures on a prop in the winter of his career.

Don't believe everything you here, it was 50 grand

With him being under the age of 18, will he pass as home grown for us?

Sorry, it came out of one of your guys mouths.

Hull associate in possible bad maths shocker?

Our new owner can afford it but with the lack of decent British props out there who are available, it was always going to take an inflated transfer fee to get someone decent in my opinion.

It was either that or going for Richard Moore



Disappointing for us we lose the youngest Briscoe but good luck to him at Leeds.
