If you doubt toms pace go on a certain video site and type in this.

Hull FC Hull KR 2008 Tom Briscoe 80 metre Try 20th july 2008

I can only assume your a WUM because you quite clearly stated that....



If Phelps hadn't have been present then Briscoe may or may not have caught him, that is open to debate. What is NOT open to debate is that if Briscoe had not tackled Fox then the try would have been scored because Phelps only managed to slow Fox down slightly, he didn't prevent the try at all.

Now how about you stop making even more of a fool of yourself and leave the discussion to the grown ups.

There seems to be people Doubting Thomas me thinks!!

Sonny.



Any 'understanding of the game' had probably better include an ability to judge distance and speed, something that you clearly lack. However, as amusing as showing you up has been it's also taken this thread off topic, for which I apologise to the sensible posters on it. Back on topic it is...

Thought Tom had a great game in the main but wasn't quite my MOM. Can only get better though and really pleased with the way he thinks about the game. Smart player.

Phelps needed Briscoe and Briscoe needed Phelps, otherwise Fox would have scored.

I brought it up as you have gone on about it constantly all week since the game accross several team boards. Plsu you keep getting it wrong, Briscoe caught Menzies.

Sorry did we mention a new contract or signing a contract for life? Every chance he will sign a new deal.

Honestly think Brisc would have caught him,wheteher he would have stopped him grounding isanother question

twice now!

Before you all call me out and say i'm talking a lot of tripe, i don't claim to being one of these 'in the know' posters and i only post rumours that i know are true.. infact i've only posted one rumour on this site before and that was about George Burgess moving to South Sydney a good month before it hit the press so you can believe what i say or not.

Apparently there have been a few Australian clubs enquiring about buying out Briscoe's contract at the end of the season and he has said he is very keen to go over and play in Oz next year. This came from someone in direct contact with him.

and if there's any truth in it good luck to him. Couldn't blame him.

There is a poll on the League Express website on who is the best British winger in SL. Tom Briscoe winning at the minute, get on there and vote!

I'm not surprised in the least. If the club could arrange a three (or more)-year sabbatical, as opposed to outright freeing from his contract, it could prove to be of great benefit in the future.

For those who doubt he would want to play in the best competition in the world, give your head a shake. Given the choice, what would you rather have: a beach house on Bondi or a static at Kilnsea?

With the increase in TV deals and Salary Cap in Oz I am not surprised that the scouting nets are reaching across to the UK. I can see a few of our better players having the opportunity to play in the NRL over the next couple of years.

Good luck to them all as it will certainly help our International team.

A beach house on Bondi, has no appeal to me whatsoever.

There are some folk, who just far much more prefer being where they are, with their family and friends close to them.

I'm sure the club will be offering him a new contract if it's true about him attracting interest from the NRL, hopefully he'll stay

hopefully he will stay but woundt blame him for going just as long as he comes back to us though

I bloody hope so.

Tom is going nowhere for the time being.... he will be at FC next season FACT!!!

if tom does go before his contract is up, lets make sure we have first refusal if he decides to come back to SL.

Well the addition of that last word has got me convinced

Briscoe will be playing for FC next year, i have no doubt in my mind he could hack the NRL and that there is an interest in him. I just think he still only 21 and has time on his side he can sill wait 3-4 years and then go.
Briscoe is still only young and can/will have a fantastic career (injury permitting) no matter what he does but i think a move to Oz won't come about till later on.

Hopefully he can help FC win something before he hops on a plane

Going nowhere, hull Signed him up for 5 years as the oz clubs were sniffing last year. We don't need to sell unlike some clubs and won't sell. Can someone tell me the last time an Aussie team forked out a transfer fee for an overseas player. Just doesn't happen.

Under contract til 2013 lets just hope we can give him a year or 2 more before he feels like venturing elsewhere.
