The difference between running with the ball and running without the ball is massively overlooked when discussing speed.

Spot on. Briscoe could well have scored if he had blinkers on but he saw Welham bearing down and blinked.

Whiting was below par, but he's a new father and who knows how much sleep he's getting. He probably shouldn't have played.
Still think if he was to play he should have been played at FB, with Sharp on the wing. I'm yet to see a game we've done well in with Horne at FB.

I agree.. Sharp would have had a field day with his pace against Rovers' backs!!

When briscoe's contract is up most of the teams in Oz and here will be after him as well as probably RU. The same can't be said about whiting and sharp. I can't believe people start threads like this, it's embarrassing

And why's that???

Because he's the best player the club have produced in almost 30 years.

the thread isn't as embarrassing as your avatar to be fair

Because Briscoes already twice the player Sharp could ever be.

Doesn't make him immune from criticism when he has a shocker!!

Sean Long has been one of the best scrum halves this country has EVER produced but he still gets some flack from some on here!!

Likewise!!!

Jake loves Agar really

Seen Clint go 80 metres TWICE while being perued by 'fast' backs and that was in a straight line WITH the ball. I thought we had conceded the try as soon as he got airspace between him and the nearest Rovers player, so was amazed Welham (who is not the fastest) got diagonally across the field to catch him, whether he had the ball or not I would have put money on him scoring. The few times I have seen him, he seems to be a quick player, just wondered if it was a knock he was carrying or picked up during the game.

maybe it was a knock he had imo he could of been looking ahead to the exiles game and not doing anything in the match that could jeperdise him playing like roby and brough

I don't think he's actually that fast... He has great acceleration but top speed no, he's not the quickest by any stretch!!

Spot on Jake. Hard to see Tom staying beyond his current deal.

Tom looked to be carrying his ribs at some point during the first half did anyone else see this?

Exactly what I said. Should have been a straight swap.

Great bloke. I think he should take a break and tour the world for a year or two

I think ALL our backs have been poor for the last two games which also corelates with the fact that our half back play has been poor to none existent in those games too.

Also coincides with Horne not playing in the halves.

Very much so daft decision to move him.
