Usually the players getting stick are the ones doing a job against us or are likely to. The also rans rarely get any stick because they were either average when they were with us or aren't effective against us, so there's no point barracking them.
Fans that say Briscoe is rubbish/wouldn't want him in our team are bordering on having the white van coming to their front doors.

not sure anybody has said Briscoe is rubbish?

Exactly, he's a quality player and his contact was up with us and he moved on. Fair enough. But he should still get some stick as every opposition player should.

It's a shame that people are so petty. As far as players are concerned it's a career, there's no place for sentiment or loyalty, in 10 years time his career will be over, he needs to take every opportunity he can get to win things and earn money. If we aren't good enough as a club to give him the opportunities he needs then that's our problem, not his.

Besides, the good times from 2008 to 2013 were pretty few and far between, and when I think of the highlights during that time he was responsible for most of them. I don't see how anyone can boo him.

The poster above (SUZIE) mentioned that some fans around her were saying he was rubbish hence I mentioned it.

Think people slate him because of the lies he (most likely his agent, though he should be honest too) told the club about NRL interest whilst really he was negotiating with Leeds.

Not a Hull FC player, lock it

Not a Hull FC player, give him stick!

i do believe,he said he would`nt play for another super league club if he did`nt get signed up in the nrl.

So when he didn't get a deal in the NRL, and we withdrew our offer. What was he supposed to do, retire? Or offer to play for us for nothing?

Back when we was the best fans in the league, any player would get absolutely crucified for leaving and signing for Leeds. Now we have all the dripping wet apologists wanting to hold his hand, and tuck him into bed at night. I wish you lot had all buggered off to Leeds with him!

That's how I remember it too.

So its ok to abuse someone who gave us loyal service and great value for 5 years just because he had the audacity to leave?

I suppose you think a player should stay with a club until the club decides to discard him by not offering him a new contract?

Then obviously we shouldn't be signing players from other SL clubs, because it shows they have no loyalty. What a cack of sh*t. He's a professional and will sell his talents where he wants, as long as he sees out his contract with his current club.

Ok Mr Schofield.

I think we should abuse anyone that plays for Rovers or Leeds, especially if there is the slightest chance it will have a negative impact on their performance. Even better if we can find a reason to do so!

I suspect "slightest chance" is overstating it.

Here's a radical suggestion, instead of baiting the opposition why not cheer on our own players? That's much more likely to have a positive impact on them.

We withdrew our offer because we found out what he (his agent) was up to.

How about we do both like proper fans do? Don't blame those who boo opposition players for a lack of atmosphere.

I don't do that already.

i am only agreeing with 1865 about him telling lies.of course he isn`t supposed to hang up his boots and retire.the point i am making is lied about not playing for another super league club.anyway,just how long is a club supposed to wait for a player to make his mind up if he is going to stay or not.?

1865 appears to have knowledge of the circumstances, I don't. All I'm saying is (as I understand it) that he (Briscoe) thought he was getting a deal in the NRL, he didn't, and through whatever circumstance, he signed for Leeds, because our deal was no longer available to him. His only other option, in order to keep his word would have been to pack up and retire.

I agree with others that opposition players are fair game for jeering, and general taunting. What I object to, is the downright hatred, and abuse, that was thrown his way on Friday night. He does not deserve that.

Didnt hear owt chucked his way, which annoyed me.

Probably the happy clappers wishing him well for sat

Should get a heroes welcome.

Briliant that a former Hull player did that to them. He's certainly scored some tries against rovers in his career. Didn;t he get 4 in a game last year?
