I can't recall what feeling was when Tom Briscoe made his debut but isn't Jack at a similar age with similar training?

I would imagine it will be down to experience in that Hall has played first team in that position and they feel J.Briscoe may be left exposed against the kicking game of Warrington.

They were at a similar age for sure but Tom was brought in on the wing for his debut and I am not sure if he started the game or came off the bench in what was a very injury hit backline that night.

He started the game. Berro also played in the centres that night.

Just looked it up and he did start on the bench!



Backline was Tony (who injured his knee), Byrne, Hall, Berrigan, Williams, Washy and Lee.

Our attack struggled that night!

Forgot he even played for us

He is a young kid with no experience who has clearly been nowhere near ready for the first team all season. Add to that we are playing away at the 2nd best team in the comp who possess a top kicker it could be suicide.

hall and berro started at cntre didnt they? i'm sure briscoe came on at centre and berro moved to hooker.

EDIT: thought so

Has to be Hall.

Edit.

Can understand why people wouldn't play j. briscoe but if the only other option is hall at fb then i'd go with briscoe.

Wonder if we've explored the loan market? Obviously Wire and Leeds wouldn't help but Saints and Wigan may. Sts have Tom Armstrong last years u20s full back , has 6 first team appearances and scored 4 tries and Wigan have 1 or 2 young guys. KR did well with Charnley. If we haven't got anyone suitable then we should surely be looking?

Dont know if it has been mentioned anywhere but the quiet word from lads here that know players at Wire that there are a few abscentees for this weeks match amongst them Morley , briers and a couple of others??
hope so

like it, 12 men should do the trick

Saves having to make the difficult decision of who to play at full back, I suppose.
