The new Teveita

Graeme had a good solid game, good to see him kick on from last year but on a couple of occasions I felt he needed to pass the ball to give Calders a run

When he got the chance he just booted it down field

Yeah I know what you mean but Calderwood didn't look comfortable against Richards all night so I think Horne thought his strength would be the better option on a few occasions.

OMG I agree with bighead

, Briscoe made the right choice in keeping hold of it.

Briscoe and Raynor. Calderwood is the new Blacklock.

I'm amazed how freakishly strong Briscoe is. His leg power to pull his self out of tackles is brilliant. As for putting himself in the shop window, with him playing on the wing for us at the moment. We don't really get to see what his passing game is like (Will he be another Yeaman?). Also how well could he read the game? Has he got the rugby brain to be a centre or is he best suited on the wing?

The first half Briscoe made some cracking runs and made more yards than a lot of players. Good performance and considering his age he can only get better.

Spot on. Excellent decision, looks better the more he plays!

Yep, the pass wasn't on then and neither was it when Thorman was looking for support with a Wigan player again between Horne and the ball.

Generally, Briscoe was great tonight. A couple of defensive lapses, jumping the line and leaving his winger, but with the ball he's ridiculously strong.

Glad to see the shoes are back. Keep em coming... fnaaar fnaaar

Imo Briscoe was awesome tonight, made some excellent runs, came in field well looking for action. The kid is a beast, his power and strength for his age is something very special, just about every time he runs the ball he takes 3-4 defenders out of the game. Can't wait to see his power and strength when he's fully developed. What a future this guy has got in the game, i'd slam a 6 yr contract on his head now.

1 thing for sure is when Raynors fit Agar is going to have one major selection headache, will he drop Briscoe or will he play Briscoe in the centres with Calderwood outside of him or will he drop Calderwood and keep Briscoe on 1 of the wings. On the evidence of all the games i've seen him play, and i'm talking last season too, Briscoe has deserved his place in the team and shouldn't be left out for nobody.

I think Briscoe will be a direct replacement for when Raynor hangs his boots up in a few seasons.

Played awesome last night, and dont think he was at fault to be honest... played great and seems to have come on a lot in defence over the off-season, looking forward to watching him this season, think he's going to be one of our best players.

We should play him at fb - he's bettr than Motu

Right decision for me. Would have been a very risky pass and on early in the tackle count it's always better to play safe IMO.

Safe and boring?

hard to say without seeing a video replay, as it happened so fast, but i feel the fullback would have gone for the intercept in that situation, as even knocking on would have prevented the try.

Sensible and professional?

Thought Briscoe was excellent last night, made very good yards every time he got the ball and he probably made more breaks than anyone else. When Raynor is fit, I think Agar will have a big dilemma with choosing Calderwood/Briscoe/Raynor. It'd be harsh to drop Briscoe considering he never puts a foot wrong but I can't really see Agar dropping Calderwood or Raynor tbh.

Horne was covered, Briscoe did the right thing, IMO.

If he had of passed there would be people screaming on here, "why?"

how is it

you would of been complaining if they scored off it

Would have been complaining whatever happened - prolly

So boring rugby then yeah!

I know were only one game into the season but, we need to throw the ball about alot more. Were never going to score alot of tries if we play like that all the time. We haven't played exspansive rugby since about 2006. We was one of the best at it in 2003-2004 now we are one of the worst!

How does sensible and professional equate to boring? Throwing the ball around for the sake of it is not whats required. Briscoe had a fraction of a second to make a choice, IMO he made the right one. It was early in the tackle count and from his break we were able to put pressure on Wigans line. He could have thrown out the pass andhad it intercepted or knooked down and the break would have been negated.
Once the highlights are released on SLTV on Monday we'll be able to see for sure if he was right or wrong.
