Took the family up to Cumbria for the Gary Purdham memorial match. When the England bus turned up i took my eldest lad to see if he could meet some of the players. Every player that we saw stopped and chatted to him. Even now he still talks about how friendly Richie Myler and Joe Westerman were. We couldnt get shut of Gaz Carvell or Steve Mcnamara! The only exception was Tom Briscoe who walked past my lad without even acknowledging him.
Superb player but rude man.

im suprised by that, whenever weve seen him, hes always been polite and chatty, my kids think hes great!!

Believe it or not the kid is really shy and does not talk alot.He tends to try and keep out the public eye.That maybe the reason for the snub?.

Find that hard to believe. My lad waited outside dressing room for all the players after Quins match and every one to a man stopped and chatted to him. Tommy especially all smiles despite broken nose and posed for photograph with my son. Top man and my lad doesn't stop talking about him.

On that occasion Agar was out last as well. My lad snubbed him. He's only 5. Priceless.

tom was more than happy to sign a rugby ball for my 5 year old nephew at brantingham a few months ago when his grandma took him to see them train.

tom is just a shy lad but not rude very much the oppisite

probably a cracking kid tho' obviously upset at the defeat and I reckon got an extra ear-bashing from the coach - the rest of the lads were fine and took it on the chin - Sam Obst literally from Hendo at the end !

he did look shaky nd it didn't look such a hard challenge ?

Briscoe is probably wondering why he signed a contract with us until 2103. Can guarantee he won't sign another one unless something drastic happens at the club

just as well I suppose you never know what's around the corner ?

anyway,when you get to be REALLY old like me you should start to worry

That's our problem... A 92 year contract on an international wage, the like Rich Horne.

Lifetime contract

I haven't read all 26 pages on this topic but what are peoples thoughts on Ian Milward?

I'm sure he is a decent coach but sometimes he comes across like a bit of a nutter...

FWIW I can't believe Agar will be in charge next season

My thoughts are that he'd better not start humping one of [iour[/i cheerleaders as they're all about 12.

We all know why, he spoke to super Rich and it all just made sense.

just how good does the average Hull fan believe Briscoe to be ?

as a neutral he seems a decent player when someone bothers to give him the ball,but to rate him as England class ? hmmmmm........

An outstanding prospect. If i wasnt a Hull fan I would be saying he needs to go to the NRL to become what he has the potential to be

Well, he's become Englands number 1 Winger despite playing for Hull FC over the last 4 years.

so why hasn't a 'bigger' (not meant as an insult) club offered a more lucrative contract ?

He signed a 5 year deal very quickly after coming onto the scene. Given how highly we rate him it would have taken a massive transfer fee to get him.
Also he was still studying while he was playing for us and probably didn't want to move too far away.

This thread is starting to fade away, will it be locked if Hull win the Derby?

wether we win or not dosent make a blind bit of diffrence regarding agar out does it

Be great to win though - putting Agar aside - wouldn't it ?

no,a few weeks later you simply change the title to 'Noble Out',that's all........

Be even better to win [iand[/i put Agar aside. Permanently.



I can wish...
