Beaver is Menzies nick-name.

I will assume you are being innocently ignorant rather than taking the p*** !

Beaver is the nickname of Menzies

Tom is not a 'fanny' - he's a fine young player who has obviously had a massive rollicking from Agar following the Catalans game (not only the Menzies thing but he had a poor game generally IMO) and is now playing brilliantly and good luck to him.

Who the **** is General Zod ?

I am nearly 57 unfortunately and have followed both Saints,Spurs & Essex CCC since I was knee-high to a slug.

spent most of my life in france


that just about answers everything I think ?

Yeamo isn't that old is he?

I [iwas[/i ignorant of Menzie's nickname. General Zod is an infamous Briscoe-dissing supporter of the other club in Hull. He is one of the very few people who actually seem not to rate him, so when you appeared to be of like mind I did wonder...

Tom maybe had a not-so-good game in France. As the only commentary we got in Hull was via mobile phone from our not-very-lucid local radio commentators it was hard to judge. He also had a shocker against Wakey, but these two matches do buck the general trend of "good" to "excellent" performances from Tom.

As you are A) not Zod, and B) do not think Tom is a fanny I can well believe you are 57. And I'm very jealous of you living in France.

Apologies for any misconceptions. I do have a horrid habit of jumping to conclusions.

Correct. Was at the game, Menzies probably had a 20 metre start and Briscoe did well to get anywhere near him, and was only a cats c@ck hair from taking him out at the flag. That said Briscoe had a poor game as did all the team in France (great weekend on the pop though

), and at age 37 it was a vey impressive effort from Menzies how ran rings round us during the time he was on the pitch.

Just watched Boots 'n' All and in his summation of the Menzies try, he said it was a great try, not just for the run by Menzies, but also the chase by Briscoe.
And to be fair that try must of been given with 'benefit of the doubt', because from the camera angle, there was no way it was deffo a try!

Toms positioning was spot on. Fox was away and destined to score. The fact that Briscoe never gave up the chase (many other players do !!!) shows the lads desire to succeed. He is a different class and deserves every last clap of our hands. And the best is yet to come i reckon!

no,it wasn't BOD - I asked Menzies after the game and says he made the try with a half inch to spare before hitting the corner flag.He seems an honest enough guy to me.

quite correct,but it needed Phelps to allow Tom the time to catch up and well done to him for doing his job

no problems mate - Tom is a fine player and will get even better if he stays injury free - the world is really his oyster.
Scott Dureaus' first couple of games wre shocking but he's now getting to grips with SL - on the other hand Ben Farrar settled in brilliantly right from the start and is getting better.

'funny old game' as Greavsie says

Surprised he's allowed to carry a tape measure during the match

I think after 20 odd years in the game at the highest level he knows exactly where the line is to the last 1/16 "

still a great effort,however much it sticks in your craw............

I think you talk a load of shiite

thanks for that - it's great having such an erudite conversation with an educated RL fan such as yourself...

have you ever considered a career in politics ? - you'd fit in well.......

Have you ever considered a career as a 57 year old with an unhealthy obsession with a sportsman in his early 20@s?

only when the topic is expressly about that person,yes

if not,no

comprendo ?

it's called 'discussing the topic'

if the topic was 'is Jake an ignorant moron who lives in a hole on Humberside' then I would talk about that

it's quite easy to follow really,especially for someone with your intelligence

KAPOW!!!

I'd rather be a moron from somewhere that doesn't exist than some old bloke who is obsessed with a lad young enough to be his grand son

in that case,you have succeeded - congratulations

now,go and finish your homework,must be nearly bedtime...

It appears you've made 'unhealthy' accusations in your 2 previous posts about sanjunien. That type of unfounded accusation is very much libelous, I hope you have evidence of such which you'd care to divulge so we can see what your accusation is based upon?

Clearly the topic of discussion is Tom Briscoe, nothing untoward has been said and people are expressing opinion, as it's an open forum that's perfectly allowable.

Jake has a point, sanjunien has posted FIFTY times on this thread.

And he was posting on the match thread about briscoe last week

The guy has been posting incessantly about briscoe since the catalans game. I've posted nothing other than that

the post is entitled [size=150"Tom Briscoe"[/size

there's a clue there somewhere

see if you can work it out

my wife and kids find you hilarious,please carry on making an utter p***k of yourself......

I'm bored of this now.
