If you think Tony is the only fullback that does this you are deluded as its common practice in fullbacks  |

That's a weird opinion. He's left handed and more comfortable passing to his right. The pass that went astray on Friday was probably more to do with him nearly being decapitated a minute earlier. |

I thought common practice was to look at the ball face on - if the ball is spiralling or is being affected byt he wind you have more chance to adjust than if you are stood on a side.
Standing on a side shows a lack of confidence of taking a high ball, IMO |

Ask yourself the same question.
Three years ago maybe, but now it's one of his strongest assets, ask Rob Burrow.  |

He was passing to his right all night. The pass I assume you're on about (the forward one) was a long pass attempted just after he'd been clocked in the mush by Pickersgill and he clearly wasn't quite right.
As a matter of interest, how many pin-point long distances passes to the right to you reckon Briscoe puts out in a season?
Oh - and the "taking a high ball sideways" thing proves you don't watch matches very closely. |

One on one tackling I'd agree.
Running the ball back was still a weak point IMO - probably his only one TBF. |

If you've got the time, taking the ball facing sideways is much more sensible. Why take the risk of knocking-on if it is an unnecessary risk? |

Catching a high ball side on is the correct way to do it for various reasons:
1. Less chance of a knock on
2. You have a stable platform (assuming your feet are on the ground) to withstand the tackler coming in
3. You present the hard parts of your body, Knee, elbow, shoulder to the tackler and protect the softer mid section.
Who's your coach?  |

Good in defence, offers little in attack. Was evident in the derby, whenever he got the ball in the attacking line he looked like he had no clue what to do.

How many of your lot claimed that he wouldn't even get in your team before he signed due to the Knob that is Cockayne? |
