That's true. Either way I can see reasons to pick him and not to pick him, RA knows best so will be happy with what he chooses.

it's exciting to think of a backline with raw pace like both briscoes and lyne

I saw Jack play on quite a few occasions last season and he impressed me every time. This season has been a different story and he has looked average at best on the (granted only) 3 occasions i have seen him.
It could be the case however that he feels a little stagnated in the reserves and he needs the challenge that a first team call up would bring him. The only way to find out is to give him a shot.

agreed. Mariano is a perfect example of the same for you guys imo

Certainly is, plus Sharp too.The thing is Briscoe Jnr might not make it, they don't always. I agree with what RBA said sometimes reserve grade does nothing for some players as they need to make the step up, maybe that's the case with Jack this season?

I hope Jack get's a chance to play to play on Friday, because if Hall play's and makes a mistake early on, the fans will be on his back all game. If young Jack's there we wont expect much from him and it would be abit of expierence for him for maybe next season, where he should get abit more game time.

Future England team ?...
J.Briscoe at FB
and Lyne and Tommy on the Wings ?

Craig Hall is the perfect example, he was by far and away the most dominant player in the reserve grade league when we went to 3 finals in a row. The problem was that he was stuck playing for them too long and got into bad habits which he could get away with at a lesser standard but as has been proved went from bad habits to major flaws.

I would go with Jack Briscoe at fullback to give him a feel for the big stage as he will learn more from 1 game than a entire season playing reserves.

good example to use

still got to name a 19 man squad aint yer

seen 18 only named a few times

Thought it was a good shout Jack Briscoe at f/b 2moz nite....But it aint happening.... Dont know the team but Jack aint playing 1st team.

"I don't know the team but Jack isn't in it"

Did you notice the contradiction there?

You tool!!

I said i dont know the first team - CORRECT!!!!!

BUT HOW DO I KNOW JACK AINT PLAYING.....?????????

Maybe i know for A FACT hes playing F/B for the 20's in the Curtain Raiser before the main game!!

Calm down rollalong.

Has Kent agreed a new deal yet?

am calm!

haha i was just saying that jack aint playin, but we knew agar wouldnt risk him anyway, but why do peeps on here make wise cracks? After me stating a fact?. To be fair sheldon.. Been away for 3-4 wks but will ave chat to the lads 2nite.

Correct, Hall fullback.

It's going to be a long night.

I would imagine Warrington will come out all guns blazing and hope to build a big early lead giving them the luxury of bringing off one or 2 big guns in preperation for next weeks final.

Looking at the players missing in our back line I would be surprised if Briers doesnt play just to exploit this.

Can't help but feel that's a very bad idea.

Well maybe not, he will go out with a lot to prove, he also needs a contract from some-where...Hopefully he will use the opportnity to showcase himself, although not upset at losing him I hope for his and our benefit he has a great game, and I also hope the faithful get behind him which I am sure they will.

Briers is under strict instructions not to kick to his brother in law

He's been playing for a contract all season.

I dont think a contract will be hard to get for him,turned down bradford...

No real alternative tbh. I would not be surprised to see Berro playing there in defence and swapping when we have the ball.
