Meant to raise this important question earlier in the week, but it slipped my mind.

On the Oval Ball on Sunday, Justin Morgan was bigging up Liam Colbon ahead of the Wigan game and saying Colbon was "very very much in charge of the back 3", and then qualified it immediately with "along with Sean Briscoe". Poor Peter Fox. What happens when the other 2 are dishing out orders to him and don't agree? Who really wears the trousers in this 3 way power struggle? I think we should be told.

why should you be told, have you been on here so much you think your a hull kr fan when really your just a hull kr TROLL!

fox struggles to string 3 words together

Think you'll find he realised he was talking to you and came down to your level - amoeba

IMPORTANT?...TO WHO?... You been on the Vino Mrs B... You're reading to much into it... let it go love!!!

With the amount of time Mrs B spends on here there's no doubting who wears the trousers in her house.................

















Its Mr B....he's at the pub

Twas a TIC post.

Did make me laugh though. A load of old blag from Morgan bigging up Colbon making up some sort of back 3 leader role, then suddenly remembering Briscoe.

I think senility is setting in dear

Is there a point to this Shoemeister?

I'm beginning to worry about our Travel Tavern conversation.

My personal view is that the individual qualities of Briscoe, Fox and Colbon, combined with the way they blend together make them the best "back three" in Super League.
It was also good to hear Justin talk about how much time the 3 spend together outside of training working on improving their combinations.

Hmm, not sure I'd go so far as saying the best, most solid, maybe.

We lack in attack. Fox, obviously can score, Colbon I like a lot but isn't a real out and out finishing winger and Briscoe needs a yard of pace to make him truly dangerous going forwards.

On our own line then yes, Briscoe is exceptional at reading the plays and marshalling the defence, Colbon mans up very well and has good one on one defence and Fox isn't the weak link he's made out to be.

As to the best, if Webb could find a way to lose his frequent spells of insanity whenever anyone puts a kick into the in goal then Leeds for me have the best back three with him, Donald and Hall.

WTF??? Why would it even interest you? I couldnt give 2 es what agar says about your famous back three! Er Kemble o'hara and the other good un? Cant remember his name now? Oh hang on i can't remember the name of any of your present back three cos theyre all, well, unforgettable!

Just an interesting concept that you have a "team" of 3 with 2 people in charge. If you extend that to the team, you would have 11 players in charge of the team. Poor Fox, he must feel like Howard being bossed around by Robbie and Gary.

As RBA says though, there can be little doubt that Briscoe-Colbon-Fox is the supreme back 3 in the comp.

I think you're right Mrs B. I believe Peter Fox deals with the angst this causes by seeking solace in tries.
"Know your place Fox!"

Run Forrest, Run!

Couldn't give 2 's who's in charge as long as they all carry on from last season

I heard that interview Mrs B. The bit that confused me was Justin saying it was easier to organise defensively from the left side. Not quite worked that out, but I’m sure there’s some logic to it.

I said last season I thought these 3 were out biggest asset.

Of the 10 SL rounds last season where at least one of them was absent we lost 5. Of the 17 rounds where all 3 played we only lost 4.

Solid in defence, plenty of tries & loads of metres on kick return & exit sets. Can’t ask for much more than that.

Rovers second try on Sunday.
Colbon recieved the ball from the scrum as he had moved into the Off Half position.
Drove the ball in hard and straight at pace.
Quickly found his front.
Smart play the ball.
Moved left swiftly by Cooke and Dobson
Try Fox.

Oh so simple.

I assume it similar to how you lot keep telling us what a great leader Long is on the pitch, that fitzgibbon is a great captain like figure, that O'meley wont stand for any dissent and will lead the pack and Radford can show his leadership, you must be worried about your pack with so many trouser wearers...

Be a lot harder when you're not playing salford though

Must have found it difficult communicating with you using only one syllable then

Better than donald, webb and hall?

Who is your crack dealer?

A much closer debate than the joker who wanted one on Briscoe v Tansey.

Its like comparing the England Full back to a nobody....oh hang on.

In terms of importance to their team, I would take our 3 any day. Thats not to say they are better players, just that they have been recruited & coached to perform in a certain way that works for Rovers. The stats quoted here tell a story:



Take the Leeds lads out and they still would be a top side. Rovers are more reliant on these 3 than other supporters realise.

Has the vodka kicked in RBA?



Enjoy your trip to Wigan.
