Tom did himself very proud for his england debut ! And proud to have him in an HULL F.C shirt, he's a credit to our club.





Also thought Tickle had a good spell he certanly had a better game than Gareth Ellis, he gave away two opportunities to wales.

I enjoyed it when Jordan James shot out of the line, sat Briscoe on his backside only for Briscoe to jump straight back up and continue 10 metres with James and another Welsh forward on his back.

Regardless of age I think Tom Briscoe should be in the England squad for the 4 nations. He has that X factor needed at such a young age. The Aussies dont think twice about throwing a 19 year old Folau in to the test team cos they know quality when the see it.

Winger or centre?
I would like to keep him on the wing, even at the expense of Raynor

for anyone who'd never seen briscoe before it summed him up perfectly!!

I thought he had a good game for the Welsh.

Yeah he did. So did Flower. Considering it was such a young side I thought there was some promise by the Welsh, England were poor but Wales certainly didn't disgrace themselves.

I agree , Plenty there for Noble and Harris to work with.

Fully agree. Almost didn't bother watching when I saw the Welsh team but thought they stood up really well. Good work by Harris.

Thought the Welsh played well and can take some real positives out of the game.

Flower was very good and lost nothing against some illustrious opposition. Good luck to them.

How fox has got in before Briscoe is beyond me, Fox had an awful game.

totally agree, he even looks like a village idiot.

dont know what all the fuss is about with Fox, hes just a daft lad stuck on the wing who could do with a bread basket for xmas.

Thought he appeared in exactly the right place off Myler for his second try - as a good centre would.



Winger next year though I would think.

He did everything he was asked.

Mustve only got passed the ball 3 times and scored off 2 of them.

I dont see all the fuss about shenton either, wasnt brilliant tonite IMO. What other centres have we got in the squad, apart from the world renound centre shaun o'loughlin?

Also on a final not, how sykes got in that team is beyond me, had a shocker!

I'd stick Tom Briscoe on one wing and Eastmond on the other for the 4 nations. Were not gunna win it so give the young kids a shot (those who are good enuff).

Looks like the scotland game was anything but a foregone conclusion.

it is true though Roofs, Fox is not an international, our baby outshone him

Can't say that on the basis of one game, Fox is an outstanding winger (as is Briscoe).

Nowt funny about Fox's wing last night. But, yes, plenty to roll your eyes at if you're Tony Smith.

Should have stuck with his first instinct when he picked Tom in the initial train-on squad. Injury or no injury he finished the season far stronger than Fox and frankly embarrassed him last night.

Tony Smiths threequarter selections are going to be very interesting. Is he really going to play O'loughlin in the centres? And dare he play Eastmond in the centres against international opposition?
Peter Fox' confidence looks fragile at best to me but should he get a chance to repair it against the French or should we just put Lee Smith in there straight away?
One thing is for certain, a 2006 version of Kirk Yeaman and Gareth Raynor would have walked into this team.

i'd be very happy if tom didnt play against the aussies. i think he is good enough probably one of the best wingers at getting out of his own half.

But just he's had two serious ankle injuries in two seasons and i'd like to see him do a full season before he's thrown in. Also regardless of club Fox has been good this year and in the CP derby saved two tries and was probably the difference between the sides

Interesting that Yeaman is only 1 year older than Fox, yet Fox is seen as an up-and-coming young three quarter and Yeaman is written off, despite having several GB caps. How great would it be for FC if he could recapture his form of 3 seasons ago?

Very true and i know Hull fans who have shared that opinion for the last 3 seasons..

Wonder whether Tony Smith considered calling Craig Hall up?
