Was I at the same game yesterday ? Briggs ?? He was anonymous for the majority of the game did not see anything from him to warrant a mention ?? Gale played far better, and why oh why wakefield didnt target him in attack is beyond me.
Briggs only arrived midweek, and although he was fairly anonymous it did allow us to play split halves for the first time in along time, giving us a threat on both sides of the field as Briggs can move far quicker with ball in hand than Bailey, and that is not a shot at Bailey as he is a back-row doing a job in the halves.
I wouldn't have expected Briggs to do anything but be a facilitator and do the simple things, he allowed Gale to play just be being there as a genuine threat, if only his first game threat was him being there and having a little pace. You wouldn't want a debutant stand-off with hardly any training to be throwing wild passes and offloads, but hopefully over the next month he will become more of a visible threat, rather than just the first few minutes against Wakey.
