Must be all the buggers I see at work

Typical rovers fan

But Tony skills have little bearing when thinking about his on field position(FB) as having a FB who is not great when dealing with a high ball or a bouncing ball is a strange idea that was why I brought up Charlie as he is the first to admit that he isnt the safest but is good at ball return and is useful as a pivot as has been proved in the first two games with him playing hooker as was shown with the first try against Leeds!
So i'll ask again how many FC fans think that Ben Cockayne is a better FB than Shaun Briscoe?

Thats from my Navy days though, old habits etc....

There it is again

Once again the 2 players have different qualities, Briscoe is a 1 position player where as bellend can play more than 1 position compitantly.

Laugh all you like you just wont be laughing as hard as me when 'Knock on Tony' is at FB for you on the televised games

And thats the point Shauns qualities leads to little errors near our own line which IMHO make him safer in the FB slot!!
Its like asking a one armed man who is superb as a striker in the association game to play in goal

Ahh that old myth knock on Tony



Anything you found funny with regards Motu when he was at FB against Warrington.

Well done he had 1 good game I think its call the exception to the rule

Like Brsicoe having 1 good game against Saints and its turned into a lets all have a tommy tank over Briscoe.

Conclusive proof that Tony shades it




Tony vs Briscoe 2007:

Appearances 23 vs 20
Tries 6 vs 7
Try assists 2 vs 1
Meters 1952 vs 1844
Carries 291 vs 269
Tackles 135 vs 83
Offloads 5 vs 6
Attacking Kicks 8 vs 8
Runs from dummy half 42 vs 29
Tackle Busts 37 vs 43
Marker tackles 11 vs 3
Clean Breaks 9 vs 11
Kicks in general play 21 vs 11
Missed tackles 17 vs 23
Errors 9 vs 12
Penalties 4 vs 1

Neither can compete with Ben Cockayne's tally of 43 missed tackles though

I think you'll find the Hull board divided on this subject too. Just ask your mate FC Baldy!!

Nice selective highlighting.

Scott and Fraiser are a bit over protected of Tony, in a way like there sh@gging his wife so they really want to keep him here. He's not bad at FB but all these other qualities I have failed to see on a regular basis, he hasn't come into the line and created try after try or made a break as these two would have you to believe.

Saying that I am satisified with Tony at FB, we have other worries if I am been honest.

Or the fact that the majority of Tony's appearances wasn't at FB.

Yes.

Briscoe was a duff buy.

Yes.

Motu Tony is a world beater.

We'll learn to live with another of Justine's rubbish signings



Anyone know Butch Mavis's number

Trolling on your own forum thats a first.

Not for him its not

Nor for his other half a dozen usernames

welcome to the world of Paula the sock lover

Gotta love the backtracking by certain Rovers fans about the ability of SB now he plays for them

I THINK WHILE SB PLAYS FOR ROVERS HE WILL BECOME AN EVEN BETTER PLAYER. I DONT THINK HULL GOT THE BEST OUT OF HIM. JUSTIN WILL GET THE BEST OUT OF HIM. INTERESTING TO SEE HOW MANY MEDALS HE LEAVES ROVERS WITH CERTAINLY MORE THAN HE LEFT HULL WITH.

I think thats because as Rugby people many knew the qualities of Briscoe but as a Hull player they would hardly sing his name from the rooftops.
I was actually gutted when Hull signed him from Wigan as he showed what a good player he was there.

And i was then gutted he signed for Rovers - quality full back as you are all seeing now. Anybody who thinks Tony is the answer to full back they are deluding themselves - he cant pass to his right - as was evident on Friday night - and he has to take a high kick facing sideways - he doesnt fill me with any confidence!

Always said Briscoe was a great solid player who you can count on. Rovers have got themselves a good quality player who will give 110% every game he plays. I do not think you can compare him to Tony as they both play a different style. Obviously Tony fits into sharps plans better than briscoe did, and when you look back at selections he has always favoured Tony over Briscoe at FB. Why?? I dunno
