I have a feeling there will be envious eyes watching from Oz!, we may struggle to hold onto him when his current deal expires, he would be a star in the NRL too

think he quite possibly already is, or would that be black and white specs.
if he isnt already he isnt far off!

Fantastic player, such a talent. One areas he needs to improve is his support play, he's a bit lazt imo.

Great effort for the first try and to stop Fox. Briscoe officially has ownership of Fox

So true.

Raynor, Calderwood, Scott Donald, Pat Richards, Brian Carney to name 5 off the top of my head all better than Tom at their peaks than he is NOW (IMO of course).
Certainly Tom's defensive positioning is still not what it could be and he's been susceptible under the high ball on occasion.

Scott Donald and Pat Richards English?

I think Briscoe is already better than Raynor and Calderwood.

Neither of them could score trys like Briscoe does.

well said - thanks to great covering from Phelps Fox didn't score - Tom B wouldn't have caught him in a millon years otherwise - saying that,thought Briscoe looked lively as did the whole team in contrast to the lacklustre performance in France.Well done Longy - thought Whiting should have been MOM

I thought Briscoe's smartest piece of play in the game was the bundling of Fox into touch after Fox's 'voluntary tackle'. It showed great intelligence to just hover above Fox and wait for him to regain his feet before shovelling him over the line.

Top marks for Bentham too for allowing the play, other refs would've blown for a second effort.

We also tried it the far corner when Latus? caught one and hit the deck.

Unless we start challenging for trophies in the next 12-18 months we have no chance of keeping him

I also believe that our board's valuation of him will be way below what other teams would be willing to offer. Their thinking is probably along the lines of: "well if he goes, we'll just shove Jack in there, the plebs will never know the difference"

Don't think that's the case at all. He seems to really like it at Hull and trophies or not he could easily choose to extend his deal.

You mean Phelps did exactly what he's supposed to do after all he is the full back. Also Fox would still have scored if Briscoe hadn't tackled him as he'd stepped inside Phelps and was heading for the try line.

Well Fox had a head start over Briscoe so I would not expect him to be caught, a bit like Menzies last week, you know the incident you have constantly banged on about all week.

He did say English to be fair mate. Not sure Scott Donald was ever as good as Briscoe is now, to me he was just a finisher.

I would have Raynor, Calderwood and Carney above Briscoe right now but Briscoe will overtake them I feel in the next few years. He is getting smarter as a few plays yesterday showed, the Fox chase and the Fox into touch incident. Still needs to be better under the high ball and needs to support better.

Totaly agree mate.

also we will see him sign another contract with us,hes only young so could go to oz when he feels the time is right.

Absolutely spot on..Phelps was showing Fox the outside he didn't fancy it so came inside, Phelps slowed him as he was coming across the park just enough for Briscoe to catch him. well worked move.

Fox has a face like a monge when he runs.

Tom was actually gaining on Fox and might have just caught him even without Phelps' cover tackle.

Not what I'm saying at all, but I'd rather have 2 good wings then one excellent and one pap. Defensively and offensively.

obviously,but my reason for responding was to denounce the jokers earlier on who were praising Toms' efforts in preventing a try when it was Phelps,just doing his job very well that prevented the Fox try,not Briscoe.

The Menzies fiasco is finished with now,so why bring it up ? - Agar read the riot act to his lads following the french humiliation and they responded well against a poor HKR outfit .

Briscoe is a good player,whether he is international class is another question ? i'm still to be convinced but I thought he did ok yesterday in a good team performance IMO

Your obsession with Briscoe and attempts to rubbish him at every available opportunity lead me to suspect that you are, in fact, Peter Fox.

one word from toms performance at the derby= AWESOME !!

Like Fox would have the intelligence to be able to create an account on here
