Been to the members meeting tonight and the club confirmed Tom Briscoe will be celebrating his testimonial next season. Likely that we will be playing Hull FC in his testimonial match

fully deserved

Good for him. Been a great servant to Leeds.

I agree

Final payday? He’s been a good player for us, the 5 tries in the CC Final versus HKR will take some beating.

He's been a great servant too Club T.Briscoe deserves a testimonial. He's definitely a marmite player I think some people love him some not so much for me he had come up with absolute criminal errors in his Leeds Career then knock on against catalans in 2014 plays offs was one I thought I'd never forgive him for. However he's come up with big plays in big games 5 tries I'm 2015 CC final don't think we'll see that out done anytime soon, 2 tries in 2017 GF as well. 2022 will probably be he's last year with us I'd imagine he'll be 32 he could probably get another gig at a lower end SL club but could see him going part time with his brother at Fev or somewhere he seems too have his life sorted after RL with his sports performance course at Uni I believe

I think Tom's done a decent job for us over the years, 5 trys in the CC final an obvious highlight. Still don't think we got the same player he was for Hull tho, maybe injuries took their toll. There was that season he couldnt really his his arms to catch high balls.

does he get 6mths for only being good for 5 yrs

The f!ckwit fringe for some reason don't understand all that he has brought to the team over his time at the club. He's been a great, reliable player who has been a first choice pick throughout his time at the club and this is a well deserved reward.

it's deserved and prob covers a reduction in contract , but he also deserved to be moved on since 2017 hardly a prolific scorer and unreliable in defence

Thankfully the people running the show at Leeds have a clearer grasp on TB's abilities than you seem to do.

if hall had stayed do you think briscoe would have made way for handley ? sometimes would be good if tommy could keep a clear grasp of the ball

Tom is still strong in contact but I’d be surprised if we retain him after 2022.

He’s been a good professional with some real highlights for us.

I wish him well been a good servant and conducted himself well . He never reacted petulantly when he was targeted

II've read that it's a 3 month testimonial

I'm trying to work out where that 10 years of my life went. Christ.

just the last 10 years? I'm wondering where the last 40 went!

Tads probably wine/women/song or having kids.

Good luck to Tom, but didn’t you used to have to do 10 years at a single club to be granted a testimonial, what’s the criteria now?

joined 2104 , 9 yrs maybe a reduced contract ?

well I dont drink, have a bloody awful voice and kids? 4 brilliant grandkids though

It's an RFL discretionary testimonial for length of service to the game overall. Similar to Jamie Peacock and other players who also had a three month one despite not playing a decade at one club.

I notice the only one missing from your reply is the women Taddlers…

Was talking with a mate last night, we used to take our daughters to Baby Ballet (where exhausted Dads used to meet and drink coffee together). We remember them toddling around from before they could walk. My daughter is going to be fifteen next month!

Similarly you look at players you saw come through the Academy who have grey beards now…

married for 35 years mate. and yes I do. time just flys. not been watching as long as a lot on here. think I started about 93ish.

Gee you watched some right rubbish then Tad? Lol. 1980 me so watched even more tosh.
