Simple, goal kickers do not lose you games, but they can win them for you.

So Don Fox didn't lose the game for wakey?
It's all part and parcel of the game.

The only problem i have is that if he makes a mistake,nobody says anything yet Calderwood for example is getting stick left,right and centre,which is unwarranted imo.

Briscoe is a outstanding prospect but we are making him out to be a world beater,he should be used as cover when Raynor is fit(if he comes back into the team) but shouldnt be let nowhere near the centre position yet.

That better for you.

He is a world beater either that or I am a man Have faith the boy is the real deal

No Wakefield were behind at the time of that kick, although he could have won Wakefield that particular game.

Totally agree here......I've not seen a better prospect at Hull FC at that age EVER!
The last time a player 'just appered from obscurity' on the scene and became an instant sensation was Kevin James in 1985.......Fastest winger FC have had IMHO (correct me if you think i'm wrong though ) There have been other 'instant hits' like Dean Treister's stint at the club and the great Peter Sterling, but Tom Briscoe is shaping up to be a player we will remember for years after his last game. Dare I say a legend in the making!!!!! He is the real deal
Not forgetting he has siblings that play too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said. Normally Mr. Reliable. Did I?
He missed 3 conversions and had he scored one more ( which in the opinion of most of us in the south stand he did) then we would have won FACT

So if that's the case he wasn't at fault then was he?

I agree with Hutchie though, you don't really lose games because of your kicker, especially if they are all touchliners. At home you should be crossing the tryline enough to win games like Friday IMO.

Who said fault?

I said blame.

If Tickle had kicked the goals we could have won.
If Agar had taken the kicking duties off Tickle when it was clear he was missing, we could have won.
If Agar had made better use of his substitues, we could have won.

Or is there nobody to blame, where there no circumstances under which we could have won?

It's getting all sycophantic on here again, and so early in the season.

People are allowed opinions, we don't all just sit there and accept what goes on and throw our hands up and say "oh well, never mind eh".

If Yeaman had passed to Briscoe we'd have won.
If Berrigan had passed to Thorman we might have got a point.
If Calderwood had stayed away from dummy half in the last set, likewise.
If Hall had taken the bomb or gathered the loose ball cleanly we'd have won.
If Briscoe had gathered Thorman's pass we'd have won.
If Dowes had tackled Westerman we'd have won.
If (Dowes again?) hadn't bought McGoldrick's dummy we'd have won.
If someone had actually ran to chase down Sherwin's drop we'd have got a point.
If one of several (any?) players could successfully pick out Calderwood with a pass we'd have won.

Of course people are entitled to opininons, but to pick out 2 people in a performance that was pretty obviously the worst of the season by several and littered with errors from multiple individuals is far from accurate in the opinion of many others it would appear. Or are they not entitled to opinions because theirs happen to disagree?
