Don't know if it was the same incident but Richard Horne got done by Mogg, West Stand side

No shame in that!

Not at all. It was great footwork by Mogg

Is he? The stats suggest that there's not much in it overall, with Briscoe being more attacking but Calderwood stronger in defence.

One try each as well - and Calderwood's took more scoring.

I personally don't see Briscoe as a Winger. He has fantastic natural balance and strength but once he fills out more, and he will, I think he'll be more suited to the Centres.

Calderwood and Raynor are natural Wingers.

Calderwood especially has attacking qualities that we've not tapped into yet.

With Hall looking like covering the Full Back spot id use Briscoe as covering back whilst playing Centre in the U21's when not on first team duty.

Spot on for me.

I would agree about his qualities however i would say that he is far more suited to playing on the wing as the work he takes off of our forwards when clearing our lines is superb and i personally think is a contributing factor to how well our forwards are playing ball in hand.

He can do that just as easily at centre



Yeamo does his fair share of dummy half runs.

Pretty much after every kick return the following play is a scoot from a winger which is what Briscoe excells at as he always get his nose through the tackle.

This all said the way Briscoe is playing he has to have a starting spot and i think it should be at G.Hornes expense once Raynor returns.

Aye

and theres nothing in the rule book to stop the centre dropping instead of the winger

Its down to the player and not the position when it comes to scooting and clearing the line.

Raynor does this well due to his elusiveness. Briscoe due to his strength and balance.

Calderwood and Yeaman I don't feel do it well and I can't help but feel like it being a wasted tackle with better options available.

Its a big ask for a centre to chase back to get into position for a scoot on the back of a kick return. Its far easier for a winger to come in and do the work as they have already dropped back.

Nah i'm on about the end when Mogg scored. No shame in it like, Mogg's a great player but it was a tad easy.

Tom Briscoe is the best Three quarter prospect we have had in this country for a long time.

I wonder if boots and all give him as much coverage as they did Penny (who is rubbish) a few years ago

I'd rather they didnt. I would hope Agar adopts and Alex Ferguson approach and keeps the young kids away from the media hype.

I hope Eddie doesn't say `young` Tom Briscoe every time he mentions him in commentary on Friday night like he did with Sam Tomkins last weekend. Really grinds my gears.

easy just press mute

What, everytime i anticipate Sam Tomkins is about to get the ball?

He won't - he's too enamoured with Callum Watkins!

No. Just at the exact point he says "young"

Yeah saw that on SLTV last night. Didn't realise it was Briscoe he'd beat when scoring.

But as i say he did the same to Horney also.

Tbf Callum Watkins looks pretty special.

I think the england squad for the future looks quite good. Briscoe, Hall, Watkins, Ryan Hall, Shenton, Owen, Myler etc

looks promising, but will still get shafted by the aussies!

you missed Welham and Fox
