You clearly do post drivel. Briscoe has a lot of flaws in his game. Especially without the ball. Shouldn't have now with his experience

Could it be that we have told him we will wait until all is resolved in Oz with a view that he would sign for us if it all falls through. Now it would seem that he will not be going to Oz he may well take the huge offer from us. In his case I think he is worth waiting for. Tickle on the other hand is not as he will not improve over the life of a 2 or 3 year contract.

I doubt Broughton will come, he's got a good job as a lawyer (I think) Manchester way

I know he has a law degree, but surley his is FT at salford?

I'd have thought so but I also heard he has a job or perhaps one lined up, I might be wrong though. I'm sure the Salford fans would know, although with him being one of their best players surely Koukash would try keep him

Edit: Just looked on Wikipedia (far from gospel I know) and it says he has a part time job as a quantity surveyor in Doncaster. Maybe I'm just imagining him working as a lawyer in Manchester!

A fantastic player who will be a massive loss if he decides to leave, cannot believe some of the crap posted on here at times.

players come and go, we have decent wingers, need to strengthen in other areas next season with a prop retiring and a second row probabaly leaving and another retiring. if he goes to wigan good luck to him, he's honoured his contract and given 100% for us despite what some on here think

Time to let us know what is happening with Briscoe.

Deadlines have come and gone and still no word.

If he was staying he would surely have signed by now.

Personally, as good as Briscoe can be, i would be quite happy with Crookes and Lineham as our wingers.

Hear in lay the problem with "Hull born" players.

Crooks has done very well in the short space of time he has been in the team.

Briscoe has been a star player in a faultering team for the previous 2 seasons.

Your entitled to an opinion, but at least have the decency to state its your opinion

Briscoe's problem is not himself, its the total lack of service he gets. If he had the service that the likes of Charnley and Hall get, he would be scoring 30 plus tries every season

The Wigan rumour as a replacement for Richards has been running for a couple of weeks and probably has legs.

Would be dissapointed to see him leave, had a great game on Friday and will be interesting to see if that continues with DJ and Ellis providing more service to the left flank, no coincidence that Yeamo also had his best game in a long while on Friday.

Might still stay but its been dragging on for too long now

If he goes to another super league club i'll be disappointed. He said himself he wanted to go down under. I've heard cronulla are still interested in him.

Briscoe was born closer to Hull than Crooks was

I think the Cronulla one has now fallen through with all the scandal they have been involved in over there.

I wonder if things are delayed until he knows what is happening at Wigan - as well as losing Richards, Hock and Mossop next year, Tomkins and Wane are rumoured to be going to the Warriors - so the Wigan side will be significantly weakened

Someone said on twitter that Cronulla where still interested in Briscoe. But, as you say Wigan seem interested also so only time will tell.

In my opinion

They may well have been born in the same hospital

Unfortunately, as frustrating as situations like these are, us fans need to accept that it is now part of the modern game.

In an ideal world, Briscoe would have already signed a new contract or at least informed the club of his intention to leave. Although it seems that Briscoe currently holds all the cards, it's swings and roundabouts as far as I'm concerned with clubs often leaving players dangling for weeks and months before withdrawing contract offers etc.

As many have said, I would be aggrieved if he left for another super league side, but think that is more realistic than heading off to the NRL as I don't believe that he is of that standard yet.

It's a big blow should he leave but as has been said if he doesn't want to stay then goodbye.

I'd just like some confirmation either way.

Maybe so, but I doubt many would know that. They will associate him as a local due to his Dad.

Anyway, its by a matter of yards as opposed to miles

Even more credit to Briscoe for making the most of limited opportunities.

agree completely

I really hope you're not serious, Tom Briscoe's talent is second to none. Some of the plays I've seen him make are pure quality. Crooks has huge potential, but no where near. Yet.

Always sad to lose a class player, but as previously stated if he doesn't want be here then turah. Would be very disappointed if he goes to another SL team.

losing the 2nd best english winger is not good news at all and is going to be very hard to replace imo if not impossible.
after the fc v wigan game when the team were clapping the fans Briscoe was getting big hugs off Tomkins and Oloughlin , at the time i just thought it was the england players bonding but now i think the deal has been done for a few weeks (well maybe not in writing)
