Eh?

You mean pace or overall wing play?



By the way TKAOH I apologise for overeacting (shouldn't have done).

Either. You said Fox was the best wingman in SL. I suspect either of the two I named would disagree.

Fair dues but from what I've seen live and on TV he offers more overall e.g. he's just as good a finisher, but IMO is even better at running it out to make yards and clear pressure. Defensively I don't think there's much seperating the three, + he's great at supporting, so it's def close I think.

Calders and Raynor would probably disagree too

Maybe but Donald and Hall are the class of the comp imho

Nah.

Sure they make (on average) just as many yards as Fox, but the key difference is he runs [iforwards[/i.

Have to agree to disagree, but O/T I think Fox definitely deserves to keep the England No.2 jersey.

and tony smith, who has only ever picked fox for a meaningless fixture against france when the majority of the team picked were fringe players

Meh, the lad's still a 'fairly steady' job for us so I'm sure him and his fans can handle the criticism.

can't argue with that.
We are lucky that there are a lot of class wingers playing in Super League,English or other and to be fair Fox is right up there in the top tier.
Whatever you say about him nobody can deny Morgan has a good eye for the players he brings in (mostly)

wait till he's playing in a side that is under performing. your bunch of average players have been playing out of their skins for 2 seasons now, it's bound to end sooner or later.

That's what I'm saying though - he doesn't appear the type of winger who depends on great service (e.g. Gardner), he seems to go looking for his own opportunities which is a great asset.

Hey with all the talk of last night, wonder who would win a sprint between the Briscoe brothers then?

So bickering aside, with Jack Briscoe get a game next week with Tansey been banned?

I would play him if Horney is not fit and move Whiting to 7.

I'd play him anyway in front of Whiting at FB.

Whiting has to play 6 with Washy at 7 for me if we dont have other options.

Would be amazed if Agar gave him his debut away from home against a Wigan side fighting to overtake Wakey for 5th spot.
Bradford at home the week after with his home fans behind him would seem a better option to me.
Have only seen him play a couple of times but he looks to be a bit special and it wouldnt surprise me if, after a big off-season, he doesnt make one of the wing spots his own next season and gradually makes the full back spot his own.

Definately cover for next season. To get a regular space he would need to push one of Calders, Raynor, Tom Briscoe to one side. Guess it depends too whether Tom nails down a centre spot. Could end up with a Briscoe and Briscoe wing/centre partnership



Fair point about the Wigan game. I'd still be tempted as there will be less pressure away from home as our first teamers keep telling people. Would be good to see him given a game though in one of the games at least.

Dont forget in about 3 years we could have all 3 Briscoes in the team

Jack and Tom Briscoe, Rhys Lyn and Craig Hall - those four in the backline will certainly add some pace to our side over the next couple of year or so.

Yes you are right, however we will have to change our game style and become more expansive to utilise these players.
I am hopeing we start to do that from next season.

Rhys Lynns a full back isnt he?

Heard some good things about him, never seen him but a few people have said he plays similar to the way Karmichael Hunt plays.

Thought he was a centre?

Or Winger seems to play a lot of centre though!

His pace and athleticism will make him a Super League winger. His lack of basic rugby skills and nous will stop him from becoming a Super League centre in my opinion.
