Quote ="Kosh"Much as I like Briscoe, he isn't quite as good as many claim.
Tony isn't a makeshift FB. He's played there regularly throughout his career. He's actually more of a makeshift hooker, a position many seem to think is his 'proper' one.
And he didn't have dodgy knees at the time IIRC. Although granted that does seem to be the case now.

Briscoe is a top quality full-back IMO and certainly in line for the England full-back spot and is every bit as good as most think.
I also like Motu as a full-back, but it was his ability to offer quality to a number of positions that i liked most about him, not as an out and out full-back.
Also did he not spend pretty much a full season injured when at Cas, prior to him signing for Hull??
