From what I've read about Briscoe he is a naturally gifted player that Hull were upset to lose to Leeds, who can play a number of positions in backs but also has some strength so may well be suited to be a running creative foil to Godinet should Sykes not start showing the form needed at that position.

I'd rather try Briscoe there as back up to Sykes than Lee Smith or Washbrook...Agar probably was hoping the imports would already be here including Siejka.

Every time I saw his name on the team sheet at hull he was at 6 ? I'm not saying I want agar to play him there and I agree with you on that front I don't think that's why Agars brought him in at all. I'm just stating facts that he can and has played at 6 a lot.

From Siejka on twitter this evening about still possibly coming to Trinity.....@up_the_trin_ @Fordy1970 yes mate

You mean like roger kenworthy who joined us as a winger and ends up as one of the best 7 at bv in years or graham steadman the FB who became a world class stand off!

Foxy has had all the time in the world to prove he is an average winger and nothing more. Briscoe has hadl few chances so far and has plenty of time yet and that's the point.

What part of the above don't you understand?

whoosh

That doesn't even warrant a proper reply!

Anyway moving on i hope he comes as we look short in halfback cover and as has been said the likelihood is that the aussie lad is likely to be a better bet at stand off than any of our young english back up options.

Also Ellery Hanley, Garry Schofield, Jonathon Davies,Andy Farrell etc.....if they are good enough they adapt and find their place running the game at 6...

Very sensible Vasty......
But I hope RA isn't reading this or we'll have Richard Moore at Stand off!

And even our current stand off Paul Sykes! I know how often it happens hence in my post joking about putting Foxy there i referred to the best position shifter of them all in this case, Darren Lockyer. I'm sure young Briscoe could play stand off, the question purely is would we want a 19 year old kid who hasn't played in the position since he was at Hull 3 seasons ago to be our main back up half? Personally i hope the move for Siejka comes off as Agar obviously wants him and feels that he would be the better option. Who are we to argue with him?

Yes I agree. Just hope we get Siejka for the additional pivot option and we are competitive throughout the season.Last season showed when Sykes got injured we really struggled due to lack of competition or cover at stand off.

Fair coos , that will teach me to read the full thread. Although technically you did reply proper or otherwise

According to Wikipedia :

"On 17 June 2014, Siejka signed on a one year contract with London Broncos for the upcoming Super League season".

I think they mean January not June.

Having said that Wikipedia said that Thomas Bosc had signed for Wakefield Trinity so its very reliable as I believe anyone can add or amend it.

Now I know Twitter is about as reliable as Wikipedia in these matters but the conversation i had with him on Friday/Saturday would suggest that's not true

@h_siejka You still thinking of playing in Red, White and Blue this season or have you had a better offer?
@Fordy1970 yes

@h_siejka @Fordy1970 yes to red, white and blue?

@up_the_trin_ @Fordy1970 yes mate

@h_siejka @up_the_trin_ That's great news.

Hope that turns out to be true. We sure do need a Stand Off.

Unless he thinks London play in Red, White and Blue!!

He's signed for Rochdale I tell thee.

What are the colours for the Barnet Broncos???

I know which team I'd play for in Siejka's position and it's not London who don't yet even have the numbers for a full squad.

I'm sure if he'd signed for Broncos they'd quickly announce it as they did with Ben Ross before paperwork etc signed. Looked what happened there.... No longer coming. Wiki will probably have been tampered with as it was done with Bosc supposedly coming to Wakey a few months ago. No mention on the Broncos forum except for Ben Ross denial.

I asked him about the Wikipedia entry - his reply was "ha ha no mate didn't even know I had a Wikipedia"

Don't think it helps in terms of knowing what's occurring mind and it wouldn't be fair to ask outright!

Daddycool. To take your mind off the much ado about nothing, are you in a position to tell us what the latest is with Harry Siejka? You quashed the Thomas Bosc rumours, is this one a goer?

He's applied for his polish passport

In order to sign for us?

Bloody Eastern Europeans, coming over here and taking our jobs. #dailymail

It's been a while since I've laughed at something on here instead of laughing at some idiot. Nice one Bren
