Hull have 3 better British centres and we finsihed 12th! welham will never play in a proper England/GB game

Tom Briscoe
Craig Hall
ryan atkins
michael shenton
leroy cudjoe
michael lawrence
etc. etc.

Can't be assed to go through the rest but you get my drift. welham is poor defensively and has no pace. Every time I've seen him make a break he's been caught

Atkins, Shenton, Clubb - fair enough.

Tyrer?!!! FFS Hutchie.



Gibson is harsh too. Watkins and Tom Briscoe likely will be if they are able to fulfil their potential. Sean Gleeson, Hall and Cudjoe I'd put on a similar level to Welham.

You need to take those red n white specs off mate

Says the man who thinks Justin Morgan is a 'petulant child', Kris Welham is the worst young centre in SL and expects both Briscoe and Fox to miss out on International selection.

morgan is a petulant child, I've never said welham is the worst centre in SL, just that he is nowhere near the best of the younger ones, and I've already seen tony smith's team sheet for the 1st test

you obviously never never watched the last kr v warrington game then with two breaks, one to run away and scored and the other set fox in for one

Briscoe is streets ahead already and is 3 years younger.

Massive talent by all accounts. But of the 25 SL games he's played so far, a good few have been on the wing. Tyrer was the next big thing at one point.

Only in the eyes of Saints fans, I always thought he looked shocking.

didn't he only play a hand full of games in a top side?

were as toms played a full season in a terrible side.

Just to be clear, I expect Tom Briscoe to be very good. Just because Welham may not be [ias good[/i doesn't mean he is not good. Constant comparison between players at the two Hull clubs is not the fairest or best way to judge them. I do it, of course, but if we binned all the players not good enough to get in the other's best 17, we'd be playing 9s. And you're good at 9s, so I don't want that.

I'm happy with Welham at Rovers.

They weren't breaks, they were him picking up loose balls and he got caught on one of them anyway despite the fact that the opposition had to turn around to give chase. yeaman is slug slow but he's still quicker than welham. Could you see welham going the full length evading tackles like Briscoe has proven he can?

No Hull fan is disputing him as a decent enough prospect, just stating that some of teh rovers' fans' assessments are OTT

Winger/Centre syndrome!

Briscoe is a centre playing on the wing to ease him into the game and because we rarely have 2 fit recognised wingers (or props, or centres, or 2nd rowers etc.)

He may play winger after next April.

He's been playing wing anyway

would'nt suprise me if they bulked him up and shifted him to the second row.

Wouldn't surprise me if fugwit agar played him at hooker

Do you actually read the other posts? All off us, in one way or another have stated that although he's not a great player he's got bags of potential. I don't think thats being OTT.

Someone was saying he'll play for England/GB

Why couldn't he in the next 5 years or so
