He's had the play-making responsibilities removed from him don't you know!

So what is his role now? Chief liason player (who just wants to be left alone? )

I thought tonight showed exactly why Hull let Briscoe leave: he was decent defensively, but offered nothing going forwards.

briscoes attacking game is all about support play, hes said numerous times the amount of tries he got at hull was down to rich horne.

if he isn't getting the ball when hes supporting its not his fault.

My MOTM by a country mile. If it wasn't for him I think Leeds would have pasted us. Briscoe, Fox (when he wasn't binned), Welham, Dobson and Galea were the only players who deserve to get paid.

Lovegrove out.

Newton and Aizue - appalling.

Which isn't enough for a first grade fullback as far as I'm concerned.

I thought Briscoe was very, very good last night in all areas! Didnt look to me as there was much in the tackle on Bailey to warrant any further punishment but I have not seen it on TV yet, only the big screen.

My MOTM would have been Galea, I thought his tackling was bang on.

Dobson had a good game but not a MOTM display for me.

Out of the props, Fozzard was excellent. Got smashed all over the place in the first half, just got up and carried on with the hard graft, made stronger yards in the second half.

I was also pretty impressed with Fitzhenry's spell in the first half, looked very tidy.

Colbon to me looked pretty good, not many attacking chances but takes the ball in hard and straight when coming off his own line.

It is quite clear that you don't rate the guy and your love for motu is all consuming but please try to give an unbiased view of Briscs performance.
He was outstanding in defence, saving a certain try, safe under the high ball, ran the ball out well, scored a try and was there in support.
What more does he have to do?

Briscoe is a quallity full back and gives 100%.

What more can you ask for.
