Quote ="whiston_warrior"This is wrong really, yes Briscoe has more tackle busts than Charnley (86-75), but charnley has loads more clean breaks (35/19). So charnley is much more likely to make a break.
As you like to select certain stats to suit your point here a few more:
They both average 9.1m per carry.
Charnley works much harder with carries (383-28icon_cool.gif, and tackles (181-103), tackle success Charnley 89.16%, Briscoe 91.15%
Total superleague 2013 appearences Charnley 28, Briscoe 27.
Tries and assist Charnley Again, (34-16) and (7-2)
Briscoe does smash Charnley in terms of offloads (23-9), and has one less penalty (6-7).
You contradict your self, you say you need to create more yourself on the right as most teams go left yet charnley who plays on the right can't create a thing for himself but has 34 tries and Briscoe who plays on the left so has to create less for himself has 16.
Also unless i've watched a different team this year Charnley has score plenty from range.
Briscoe is good but Charnley is better.'"
What you've done is re-emphasis my points. Clean breaks means nothing as a clean break is generally created by someone else, in a wingers case normally his centre partner. As all Hull fans know in the decade or so that Yeaman has played for Hull he has always had a reluctance to pass to his wingman.
It's not unusual for a right winger to see more of the action in defense as most teams attack the left flank more(most players are right handed), therefore it's more likely he'll do more tackling. Pat Richards is fantastic under the high ball and Sam Tomkins plays full back at Wigan therefore most teams will kick to Charnleys wing which goes someway to explaining his higher number of carries. Average carries and tackle success are the same. Briscoe has far more offloads which means he's more likely to make chances for others. As for tries, Briscoe played for Hull, an average SL team with terrible halves, Charnley plays for the SL champs who massively out scored Hull in the try department.
As I said in my original post, I think Briscoe offers more, this is my opinion which is why I used the term' For me'. I'm not wrong, I just have a different opinion to you.
