We did have the money for Briscoe - he did not want it . By the way why are you discussing with Trolls from across the City its not their problem.

You don't really believe that, do you?

As with Manu, he wanted to leave.

I've no idea, niether does anybody I guess but it would be the kind of stupid dumb-ass thing our club would do, all I know is that Biggs for Briscoe is a step down in quality.
Signing him means Crookes is pretty much gone and we still have no place for either McDonnell or Shaul

Be a good start to everyone reports for pre-season training on the first day no matter what

You moaning feckers



The quality of SL all round will be worse next year, end of. Are Wigan trading up to replace Tomkins, Richards etc? This is a decent signing in the context of an impoverished transfer market and the fact 3 of our back 5 are young and homegrown.

The negativity around every single aspect of what the club does on here is hilarious. Half comes from Rovers trolls and Rovers trolls masquerading as FC fans, much of the rest from people withholding financial support from the club but still bitching about signings. In what sense is this "supporting" the club?

You do realise clubs get injuries? I'm sure all these players will get enough game time to rove their worth.

Not sure what you wanted Hull to do? The only decent winger available was Broughton and he signed fo Hudds, who else could we have signed.

Incorrect as usual not everyone will be reporting for training first day, nice try though.

This in a game where the forwards are like grazing sheep.

Obviously FC see something good in Biggs ive just looked at a few of his clips and hes pretty strong in returning the ball and a decent defender hope he makes the switch of codes easy enough, a big big gamble imho

Bloody hell this signing has excited the Rovers fans, but I suppose with Omari Caro still on the books it's not surprising.

There's some misarable s about.

Broughton maybe?

Location!

only in the fact Caro has played more league games then your star winger signing replacing Briscoe.
Smailes spin will be like for like.

Mentioned him, read my post again.

Who mentioned star winger, we have that on the other wing. Biggs wouldn't fit your style of cant tackle backs.

I'd rather have you on the wing than caro.

I kind of have to agree with you here. Know one on here I expect knows for sure why Briscoe left.
But on the face of it we have replaced a young international winger who we all know on his day is quality and replaced him with an older rugby union convert who doesn't have the best try to game ratio I've seen.
It is a gamble but one we probably needed to take due to the lack of quality around.

With the lack try's scored in Union, is it a surprise his ratio isn't great.

Richer Barnetts junior try ratio was excellent at Hull, maybe we should sign him back?

Ain't there just.

TBH it's embarrassing on here much of the time nowadays.

Very happy with the signing . Agree with Mrs B in the fact of options in the current market . Hope he settles in quickly and welcome to the famous hull fc Tom

How many points behind you did we finish, A massive two.

If that's vastly then I'm a snowman!!

Don't see Rovers with articles in the HDM regards season passes that may as well say BEGGING BOWL!!

Isn't it justified?

Signing a washed up 30 year old convert in a complete gamble to replace a young english international is not a positive move.

Hell, coming from union biggs is probably on more than briscoe.

Pearson by plenty!

I don't think that an early release will count on the cap but I also can not see how a single penny of his salary will count on the cap either.

Nice move if we are looking at stretching the cap this year...

I'm pleased with this signing, as been said, there are very very few classy ENGLISH wingers around. The signings are not earth-shattering, but nor are any other clubs.

Our pot-less neighbours have lost their best player since Millward and are more bothered about our side. I can't wait to see Biggs and Lineham up against Dodgy Hodgy, (Ginger)Biscuit Body Welham or Caro.

Lets face facts, Briscoe was shoite for the last 12 months when he though he was off to Bondi Beach and now he has to make do with Hunslet Duck Pond. Tickle was woeful after that injury and our gain is Widnes' loss. O'Meley is a big miss, but Paea would have been my choice as replacement any day. O'Meley retired, by the way, so we had no choice. Johnson was always a filler. Lynch isn't going to better that first season with us so Palaeeasina -while an unknown quantity- cannot be any worse.

I've heard a rumour that we're sounding out a new scrumhalf, keen to come to the UK.

Briscoe hasn't been on international form for the last 18 mths, lets see what Biggs can do before deciding on if its a positive move.

As i've just said his wages will not count on the cap, as we seem to have the money to spend I don't understand the issue of his salary?
