My MOTM by a country mile. If it wasn't for him I think Leeds would have pasted us. Briscoe, Fox (when he wasn't binned), Welham, Dobson and Galea were the only players who deserve to get paid.

Lovegrove out.

Newton and Aizue - appalling.

Which isn't enough for a first grade fullback as far as I'm concerned.

I thought Briscoe was very, very good last night in all areas! Didnt look to me as there was much in the tackle on Bailey to warrant any further punishment but I have not seen it on TV yet, only the big screen.

My MOTM would have been Galea, I thought his tackling was bang on.

Dobson had a good game but not a MOTM display for me.

Out of the props, Fozzard was excellent. Got smashed all over the place in the first half, just got up and carried on with the hard graft, made stronger yards in the second half.

I was also pretty impressed with Fitzhenry's spell in the first half, looked very tidy.

Colbon to me looked pretty good, not many attacking chances but takes the ball in hard and straight when coming off his own line.

It is quite clear that you don't rate the guy and your love for motu is all consuming but please try to give an unbiased view of Briscs performance.
He was outstanding in defence, saving a certain try, safe under the high ball, ran the ball out well, scored a try and was there in support.
What more does he have to do?

Briscoe is a quallity full back and gives 100%.

What more can you ask for.

If there is a better English full back in this country I want to know why he's not playing in the Super League?? Wellens is past it, Smith is no where near (and believe me the Aussies love seeing his name on the team sheet), and Platt?????????????? I wont even go there!!!!

Only player that would get in would be Sykes IMO and thats only for his attack, I dont think there is a better defensive full back in SL than Brisk.

Briscoe excellent,I still get mixed up between him and Dobson when on the telly,they look alike to me from a distance.

It's not just his attacking game, it's his kick returns. He rarely makes decent yards.

Having said that, he was easily the best of the two FBs on display last night and I thought he was a strong contender for MOTM.

It's got nothing to do with Tony, I have the same criticisms of pretty much all British fullbacks. Check the international board throughout the period of the world cup, I was saying exactly the same things then about Wellens.

It is a big problem as far as I'm concerned, and it's a major reason why we're so far behind the Aussies. The attitude towards a fullback's role by many in this country is to hope that they're 'safe' and decent defensively. It's the same from juniors to the amateur game, into academies and at first team level. It's no surprise, with this attitude, that the best fullbacks in the league are all antipodean, and that's a trend that doesn't look like changing currently.

sadly effort isnt always enough

LOL

It isnt though is it. I think Briscoe is fantastic and played very well last night, and i like the guy. I just think as a FB in the top league you need more than he offers.

Absolute rubbish, funny how most other teams fans respect him as a top class full back but alot of the Hull fans on RLFans dont. I have many friends who are Hull fans and Ive not heard one claim Hull are better off at full back with out him, just seems to be the Hull fans on here that are of the opposite opinion.

Come on you dont believe that !

Its all about opinions though,personaly I was sorry to see him go.

i saw him interviewed on sky sports news after i got in from the game, he needs to stay off the telly with a face like that, his nose could be used by plastic surgery students

But he did have a great game, one of the bravest about.

and if you watch the break he makes up the middle he gets a slap around the head off Lee Smith before handing on to Dobson (where Sinfield takes the loose ball) another head shot but no pen thou.

I do, and always have done.

Outstanding full back and has the kind of spirt coaches would give a right arm for to have in every player.

Definetly a contender for MOM on Friday IMO.

I love the convoluted disciplinary process:

Incident considered High tackle in 71st minute
Decision No charge
Details of Charge / Reason for NF No high tackle.

It was fairly pointless even asking the panel to consider it as a high tackle.

Is that the hit on Bailey? What on earth was it considered for?

Sinfield probably asked Bentham to put a word in.

Your probably right, or was it Bentahm asking Sinfield if he wanted it on report.

A player was left prone on the ground and none of the officials saw what happened. A more perfect example of how video evidence is of benefit you couldn't wish to see.

What concerns me is the level of incidents being referred against action taken, if you look at this weeks it clear that officials are getting lazy.

I may be wrong but i think any tackle that results in a head injury of some kind has to be reviewed

And like the old saying, if you know youve got nothing to worry about then whats the fuss
