I know hes nothing to do with us anymore but im shocked to hear hes leaving kr at the end of the season,i would just like to wish him well were ever he ends up,the guy was a great servant for our club and scored some great tries, i for one was sad to see him leave when he did.ive put this on here as i know he was well liked by the fans,if the mods need to lock it then so be.

Briscoe confirms it on his twitter;

"Yes I'm leaving Rovers, had 3 1/2 great years here so far and still more to come. Thanks for all your support and messages. We've still got things to achieve this season so finish on a high. Wish I'd of got chance to tell the boys before it was announced."

No shock been poor for a while and had a run of injuries, time to go. Will probably end up at Widnes. Does it mean however that Cameron Phelps maybe looking at moving across the river ?

Wish Shaun and his family the absolute best. A terrific servant of both Hull clubs and model professional too. Still gutted he missed his Challenge Cup Final appearance, but will always remember the story of him getting his dad to sneak him out of the hospital to see the boys after the game. A top bloke.

I might just drag up the post i wrote in April on their board saying he was going to widnes and the following abuse

all the best shaun like said above i was gutted to hear you would miss the cc final. Think we had his best yrs tbh,always gives 100% one if the bravest fb i have seen.

Was a great player for us and has been a great player for them though the disrespect shown by the KRap board by hiding the fact that he was leaving within the Galea re-signing story and before he could tell his team mates is downright appauling. To top it all the fans are making out he wasnt that special. Another example of what a pityful club that HKR are and always have been.

Shaun was a great player for us and I agree, we had his best years at our club.
Phelps is a player I like too, and can see him signing for KR next season.

Hope both Phleps gets a club for next season, although there has to be doubts about his hamstring I think he has done a good job for us, and has looked very solid and committed.

Thats it use the situ to put Rovers down - no way to gain Browny points me thinks!!!

Good player for us was Brisc and we deffo had the best out of him. Great support player as proven that day at Bradford. Good luck to him as he leaves Hull after great service here.

Yep. A top guy and I wish him all the best

Not wrong though is he.

I think there is a better than average chance he goes to Rovers because:

a) he played for us
b) he is Australian

I wasn't that impressed with him at first as a quota player but he is playing well now, if it wasn't for his injury record i would be happy to resign him.

Think you'll find it's Rovers who've put a fine servant down by announcing this as a flippant afterthought. They deserve criticism.

As for Briscoe, wish things had worked out different for him in the city of Hull. The phrase "If it's not broken why mend it" comes to mind. If only it had occurred to Sharp. Good luck, Shaun.

Sod him , he chased the money and silverware

I was a big fan of Briscoe but he's only himself to blame in the way his career has spiraled backwards IMO.

Tried to demand too much and then found himself way behind Motu Tony due to the form he was in. You can't demand more money when your not getting into the team. Still ATEOD he knew some club would come in and offer him money he was not worth and they did, fair play on him by doing whats right for his family at least.

Shaun Briscoe day seems like a distant memory.

Don't really want to get into all this again, but Briscoe was never behind Tony as a fullback. Tony was a great player but not a stand out fullback - moulded into the position come what may to satisfy Sharp's mania for "utility" over "specialists".

I've never understood the Motu v Briscoe "either or" arguments. Both were of great value to the team, but Motu was of much greater value as a utility back. Of course, he did pretty well for NZ too as hooker.



And I bet Briscoe rues that day he let his agent negotiate his new Hull deal.

probably on his way to widnes

rovers rumoured to be looking at matt blaymire if wakey go out of superleague, so possibly no to phelps

Bang on the money in all respects.

Looks a cert.Lets see who they replace him with-Phelps

which one of their quota players is leaving?

Good luck to him. In hindsight he made a mistake in leaving Hull.
Nice to see Rovers treating their outgoing players with their usual class.

I always feel a bit sorry for those who move on to Rovers after playing for Hull. It's like eating every meal at Bob Carvers after years of dining at Ceruttis. Phelps be warned.

Your one to type ,your pityful club couldnt wait to get shut of him .

Towards the end of that Season Motu was way out playing Briscoe, hence why Briscoe ended up playing on the wings.

Rovers board please.
