You're entitled to your opinion. All I would say is that he did want to stay but was advised to reject the initial offer by his agent and this was then withdrawn. Unfortunate all round, apart from for Briscoe's agent. You may not care but quite a few people do. I was just trying to explain why I think this is.

He's a big boy though and didn't sign at gunpoint. Didn't Yeaman decide to ignore his former agent's advice? Anyway as has been pointed out, Shaun Briscoe gone and personally Motu has my full support.

Hopefully the next thread about Mots will be a Briscoe-free zone, although somehow I doubt it.

If my agent advised me not to sign for Hull and sign for rovers instead I would sacked him on the spot.

Motu has my full support as well.

The question was asked why people go on about Briscoe. In addition to all the points I've already listed, he hardly left us in the manner of Cooke or Carvell. Like it or not there's an affection for him that won't go away.

He didn't advise him not to sign for Hull, he advised him to wait to see if he got GB selection in 2006 which would earn him an improved deal at Hull FC under our wage structure, whereas if not he could get a better basic pay elsewhere. Wigan were also in for him at the time. The GB thing never happened and in the meantime Rovers had tabled a better offer and FC had withdrawn theirs. Bad advice, as it turned out.

Briscoes not available either is he?

He refused the contract offer from Hull. End of story.


He plays for rovers now and I could`t give a to$$ what he does because he didn`t want to play for us.

Don't talk poop.

Some of the posts in this thread are highly entertaining due to how far wide of the mark they are.

As for Motu, we're desperately missing him at the minute.

I hope im wrong but I doubt we will see motu in a black and white shirt again, mindya the guy who were supposed to be looking at for next season is top notch. Byrne will do for me, as for Briscoe he isnt at our club so why discuss him.

I'd kick the shiite out of him 1st, especially if he was a rovers supporter himself

Surely options for next year would come from current squad ??

Chance Skinny will be retained - can't be very expensive.

Either of current halves could be put to full back to accommodate our almost guaranteed top notch test playing half back who is definitely coming ? ( Hint of sarcasm )

Surely Craig Hall could do top class job there once his defence is sorted. Looking forward to seeing him soon, both centres offering little at the moment for me.

not knocking byrne but if he got a new contract i'd be concerned.
