Any truth to the rumour that your half back Kyle Briggs has or will sign a 2-year deal to join us from next season?

Its been quite a persistent rumour, as has Briggs to Cas for that matter. Thing is, he is already under contract for next year so unless a transfer fee is forthcoming(seems unlikely given the noises currently coming out of Quins) or a player exchange is on the cards...

Contracts are no longer the bargaining chips they used to be especially if the player has an opportunity to better himself. If he wanted to play at a higher level, would you block him from doing that.

maybe, but I'm not the BoD. The world is a very different place to what it was just a few months ago. The world's finances is on it's @rse and rugby clubs are no exception.
There is a value in Kyles contract up until the end of next year. I don't think any championship club can afford to let a player go without appropriate remuneration.
However, what's "appropriate" is oft down to the skill of the negotiator or the determination of the player!!

personally, I think he'll be a rover next year - but I know Jack S!!

I reckon a lot of contracts have a clause in them that mean they're free to leave if a Super League club comes knocking. This may or may not command a fee but I doubt the contract would have to be bought out as well.

Quins won't pay a 5 figure fee. Last year they were allowed to speak to Tangi Ropati by Sheffield Eagles, but then the clubs could not agree a fee for the fella, result was he stayed under contract in the Championship.

and that's how it should be!
By all accounts London are struggling to afford any kind of fee!!!

By all accounts 'Quins are struggling to afford anythig full-stop.

cant see this hapening as harlequins will be in championship in 2 years time

according to one of the mods on our board briggs is signing for us(hull fc).we are reported to have bought his contract out.

and that my owd cock - is bol_lox!!!

Reported by whom???? Some source close to the club????



I've heard the following rumours linking Kyle with :- London, Cas, Wakey, Salford, Crusaders and now Hull FC!!!!!

All the rumours have apparently been nailed on, dead certs, from "someone in the know"!!!

When you see Kyle's signature on the bottom of a Hull FC contract - believe it!!

Seems we have lots of 'links' with people from Fev my owd cock

I dare say you have owd cock! Links & signatures = different!

We'll see!

There doesn't seem to be any evidence to support the rumour that Hull are after him but he has been mentioned a few times on the Hull board over the past few weeks, I suspect because he is British (we have no quota spaces) and we need a half back.

How do you Fev fans rate him? Would he make the grade in SL?

Really highly and dunno! Maybe with full time training perhaps! it's a massive gulf. The only Fev player I would suggest would maintain a SL place given the adjustment to full time training etc - would be Zak Hardaker.
Difficult to forecast with Briggsy. At the mo he's a bloody big fish in a small pool! But there's some bigger fish in SL!!
I thought I'd use the fish analogy!!



He's a good lad! His consistency is something that's improved a lot this season

Perhaps a few years down in London away from the goldfish bowl which is Super League in the North. He can fail and return to a Northern club at whatever level he wants, or flourish in London, and maybe go back and join the likes of Leeds.

Just run that by me again.............

How does that go??

dont think he'll go.

Flourish!? In London!?

Big rumours that Briggs will be signing for Hull this week, but who knows. Would be a welcomed addition, but we'll see!

nah! Stayin at Fev mate!

Can put this to bed 100% Briggs will be fev player next season, how i know well if anyone spots briggs over next week or 2 there telling porkies, he flew to egypt this morning from leeds bradford, says its all rumours he will be at fev next season and loves it!!!!

Like I said on t'other forum snakey - he must be bleedin sick of saying so! It's all he and his dad have ever said!!!!

Briggs to stay with Rovers shock!!!!

damn....
