lets give them 10 games before passing judgement

Probably a pre-season game next year with all the proceeds to Fev and maybe something extra to divi up if he makes the England team, all a bit open ended and can be stretched as far as your imagination takes you I guess. Still a good bit short of £150K though, for mine.

He was never going to make it at Leeds with Burrow and McGuire already established in the halves. As, I believe, you well know.

I gather from my insider contact at Fev that he is very much a "confidence" player. He could take a little time to settle, but, handled correctly, should prove to be a great signing. Also he's a very good goal kicker and has a good turn of speed, which allows him to break the line on a regular basis.

Let's just hope that certain fans don't get on his back if he isn't a superstar straight away - he needs to be nurtured.

for that reason I'd give him a run out in friendlies and then rest him for the leeds and wigan games before introducing him into 1st team gradually. Couple of high pressure games like that combined with unrealistic expectations from some fans could destroy his confidence. Obviously if he slots in well in friendlies then that could change, but my initial thought is to not put him under too much pressure too soon.

Various youtube vids available from last season so you can see Kyle in action

Dont know what the policy is posting links like youtube

Search for 'featherstone Rovers'

I recommend Featherstone 44 Halifax 4 and Featherstone 46 Halifax 16 semi final in the second vid mentioned he scores two tries

There are many others just i know off top of my head he gets a good mention in them

Feel free to take a look

Our illustrious Mods had something of a collective epiphany on that score a week or two back...!

Just watched the latter one, against Fax in the semi final.

Featherstone must have scored about 9 tries, and apart from the two Briggs scored he wasn't really involved. Good awareness and pretty quick off the mark (quicker than what we had last year) for his second try, and the first was a nice little darting effort.

Would have liked to have seen him on the ball more..

I believe a wise man once said the very same thing!!

He could have had three if he'd held onto the pass from the Fev winger in the first half. There wasn't much to base an opinion on but he looked to have a good killer instinct near the line and good evasive skills.

well thats not true at all. burrow for the last 2/3 seasons has been well bellow par in quite a lot of rhinos opinions including my own. where mcguire has become alost complete with his kicking, creative passing and defensive game, burrow has stagnated or gone backwards. a top quality youngerster would have been in a perfect position to push rob for his place or even take it.

as for bulls fans coming out with the usual its a bitter rhino fan guff, i have nothing to be bitter about. dont stick your heads in the sand. i have no agenda. we arnt really big rivals anymore. not like saints, wigan and wire are.

dontcha just love that patronising way some Leeds fans have? It's been the same for decades.

It's not just us Fev Fans that have heaped praise on Briggs. Ask Hunslet or Doncaster fans on how good he is and they will come to the same conclusion as us.

Kyle is a fantastic player at the Championship level and will make the step up, give time and good coaching. It's a massive loss to our side for the upcoming season.

If what we saw on Sunday is an early indication of things to come then think a few Leeds fans are in for a nasty surprise in Cardiff. Let them troll away in meantime, will make seeing looks on their faces all the funnier

he's a good player with a great skill set but he's not the quickest is he? thats he's only real floor. his defence needs work but that comes with age. if mcguire learned to tackle anyone can.

What about the one in his kitchen?

its not trollin mate. i have clearly said i think the bulls will finish outside the 8 weeks ago, the signings since then have made me think that more not less. you may well beat us first game up. everyone is fresh, everyone is up for it. cas beat us first game up at home last season. thats far worse than getting beat by your lot. im more bothered with how my team are going come october. he who laughs last laughs longest.

Depends whom your comparing him too.
