Jumped from the field to the in-goal and just pinned his ears back and ran the length.

Cracking try!

Yes got to say he did look pretty quick for that try.

Don't think he was running full out either . Amazing talent !

Thought McGoldrick's head was going to burst trying to catch him up, he then spent 5 minutes bent over looking like he was going to throw up

He is true class.

Thought the same myself, and remembered these comments on Briscoe by General Zod:

"The hard evidence was there for all to see - the kid does not have any significant pace so why can't FC fans like you just accept the fact?"

"I just don't think he's fast or agile enough."

"I've felt the need to educate the FC fans about why Tom Briscoe does not have the athletic ability to play at international level unlike Fox."

"I'm merely making the point that Peter Fox in top-form is the closest thing I've seen to Offiah since his retirement"

"Tom Briscoe just isn't good enough - end of."

Ouch

There's some brilliant quotes there! Some people really need to refrain from setting themselves up for an almighty fall when it comes to dishing out daft opinions!

Quality

Tbf to Zod, they are mostly present tense statements from 2009, when Briscoe was picked by Tony Smith on potential rather than performance and it didn't go at all well.
He's excellent now though. Briscoe, not Zod.

Be gone, with your rather dull context.

Tomkins, Charnley, Bridge, Cudjoe, Briscoe - Is it just me or does that actually look quite good?

Nearly as fast as Welham

Wow!

Class player will only get better and better which is the scary thing!

More impressive was the turn of pace when needed for his first try. Was almost lulling Mathers and the other player (not sure who) into a false sense of security before speeding up. Couple of great tries tonight.

I'm never convinced he's that fast, just exceptionally strong and very agile. I think sharp is quicker

I remember saying he was something special when he first broke into the team and fc baldy telling me he wasn't (I do like to remind him of that every now and then







)

Sharp almost got caught from 8 yards out tonight! (and BtW baldy rates Lauaki).

you been drinking too much cheap french plonk again!

There's some crackers on this board isn't there.

I remember when we signed Westerman someone wrote:

"Cool, a player who has had disciplinary issues in a position we already have plenty of cover for. You couldn't make it up"

and

"I think most people would rather see £175k (which is bollox anyway) and a chunk of salary cap spent on a half back"

Forget who it was now though ....

If it was me then the 2nd one is still true, particularly given that we've hardly seen our star scrum half all season. You never know, with a decent 1/2 back we'd maybe have been in the top 4. If it wasn't me, then the 2nd one is still true anyway

Wonder why he never enters rugby leagues fastest man if he is so fast.?

because its normally the younger players that contest it
