| Despite all my analysis of why I don't think Tom Briscoe should be picked and not one Hull fan has said:-
"I think he should be picked because..."
The best I've got so far is "He didn't do anything wrong" and; "He showed a great bit of skill to keep the ball in from the 40/20 attempt" from an FC fan at work.
Aside from the Fox/Briscoe debate, one player who I think who really could offer the "x-factor" we need in the three-quarters is Will Sharpe of Harlequins. He's raw but he's got exceptional speed, is elusive and strong as well. I'd have drafted him in instead of Tom Briscoe. Does anyone else rate Sharpe?

If you genuinely believe that Briscoe was at fault for the tries conceeded, then it really shows your knowledge about RL and shows you up. A sad endictment of the city divide.

This whole thread adequately demonstrates that. Its about time it was wrapped up, regardless of who threw the 1st punch.

| Quote ="General Zod."Nope.
For example...
Hull FC play Wire the first game of 2008 so I give a breakdown post of why Hull FC had no chance of finishing in the play-offs. I was in the minority then yet I was eventually proved 100% correct. If I was as sad as Mrs B then I could be @rsed to dig it up for you.
And...
I think I was the only member of this forum (FC or Rovers) who thought FC would not finish in the play-offs before the season started yet I was proved 100% correct.
I've learned more in the last 4 years watching Rovers under Justin Morgan than the previous 20 watching under other coaches and feel closer to the game than I've ever been - hence why I've been so accurate in terms of my predictions above.
Infact, a mate of mine at work regularly asks me for betting tips and thinks nothing of shelling out £100 on the tips I give him - most of which prove to be right.
Although Rovers have the SL Dream Team second-rowers, the secret of our success has been our back three: Briscoe / Fox / Colbon kick returns which have enabled us to do so well.
I've got nothing personal against Tom Briscoe and he wasn't "to blame" for the tries as such as it's been well documented about who was inside him, but he was merely a pedestrian without the athletic ability to have any effect on the game - time to play a winger who has the ability to affect a game.'"
What have you learned then Zod please reveal all . here's a few questions I have for you
[listWhy did Morgan pick Fitzhenry over Fisher a recognised hooker.
What's your opinion on the treatment of the two PNG players.
I feel cheated that Stan was not able to play in the last game at Craven park , he has more talent in his little finger than Chaz I'anson has in his whole body.
Why persist in playing players out of position , Fitzhenry for one . You would of thought after the Cas game last season that Morgan would of picked up on the fact he was no fullback.[/list:u

Probably will, but certainly not for that reason - unlike Tom Briscoe I'm afraid.

Cos Fisher is too erratic.

Wasn't nice to see Maka in civies at the end of the season and it's a shame he moved on but he's had his fill of SL and wants to chill and play in the championship which is cool so good luck to him.
Stan's body wasn't holding up to it anymore so it was the right time for him to go.

TBF, and far be it from me to defend Zod, but i don't believe has blamed Briscoe for any of the tries.

Briscoe out due to a lack of experience and fox never considered because he doesn't have the athletic ability to cut it at international level?

I think he was pointing out a weakness in his game that was exploited when kicks went in behind him. The fact that Smith and McGuire defended like idiots was not his fault.
Tom has tons of ability and imo it is a cop out by his coaches that they continue to play him on the wing when he is so obviously better suited to the centre position.

Well he's been given the number three shirt for next season, so maybe a move to his favoured position is finally on the cards? Personally I'd like him to start there with Hall in the other centre position, but you just know that isn't going to happen.

Couldn't agree more.
Unfortunately coaches these days are more interested in their own jobs than the development of young players, not just a dig at Agar btw, but coaches in general. There is less and less emphasis on position specifics now and first grade coaches expect young players to just fit in, adapt and get on with it rather than receive the necessary coaching that will enable them to develop naturally into a position best suited to their ability.
