One of the most overrated players in the League imo

Still think he would a okay signing for a couple of years when his contract is up mind, home grown player and all that.

Especially from the sock lovers in East Hull who cream their pants about the fact he's an East Hull lad etc. I'd expect him to retire with Saints really looking at how they like to hold on to their older players in general.

An overrated and overpaid Antipoedean?

A complete representation as to why we get our backsides given to us every time we play the Australians.

Either/or it doesn't really matter. He's a quality international player. His game is more suited to that of a loose forward like Galea only he is 5/6 years younger

He's nowhere near International quality.

Both Galea and Newton are better than him. He'd probably relegate Murrell to the bench if he signed imo.

Nobody on here has asked my opinion of him.

My point is a general one as to why a decorated player would want to join HKR.

look brisco and foxy will replace wellens and ade gardener this year or next then we will have the internationals in our team stop thinking where a small club we have come allong way in the 2 seasons we have had in super league what do we have to do to get respect without winning trophys

Ok mate whatever, i'm afraid the fact he has been capped numerous times at international level and he has been a mainstay in the Saints side since he was 18 says otherwise

Erm, Briscoe will not replace Wellens ever. The only replacement for Wellens is Lee Smith or A.N.Other. Briscoe is not good enough.

Fox is a decent winger, not fully convinced hes International standard either as I don't think there is a real International quality British winger anywhere, certainly not in a mediocre, run of the mill Super League side.

HKR have come from being a non Play Off contender to a possible Play Off contender and nothing more.

wilkin looks good when saints are on top and ruuning the show. He was anonymous in the world cup when he was playing in a well beaten side. He come up with the odd significant play but there are many better 2nd rowers in SL

Wakefield beat us at home a couple of years ago.

Saints went on to win both the Grand Final and the Challenge Cup.

Where did HKR finish that year?
