All very inexperienced, especially in that position, and the amount of games Briscoe has played ahead of all those players for me suggests we will be short without recruiting. If Luke had played half a dozen games this year I’d agree but he’s played most of the year for one reason or another.

They are but in Broadbent's case he has shown he can play on the wing.Edwards looks a player who can play anywhere and who many think is going to be a real star.Jury still out on Hall and Tindall but hopefully with a reserve league these players will kick on with more game time.

Very true just depends how much broadbent will be needed at centre with hurrell leaving too we're down by 2 outside backs.

Luke Briscoe has a mistake in him but hes done a pretty solid job for us this year.

Good player but not starting quality in a SL winning side. Seems like a nice bloke aswel.

spot on. half decent but any side with ambition needs better than him. tried hard but lacks quality at this level.
good luck to him

Yeah, I think he played to his full potential and you can't really ask for more than that. Well capable of ripping it up for Fev though and I hope he does

Wow - how far back has the expectations of the fans gone - I cannot believe people are genuinely bothered about losing a player of the standard/ability of Luke Briscoe. Then again the likes of Thompson and Donaldson get big props on here theses days - sad to see how far the standard/expectations have fallen

I would say Donaldson has been one of our most consistent performers over the last couple of years.
No world beater but has the heart of a lion and never stops trying.
Thompson as a squad player is ok and got us out of a hole last year.
Luke better than brother Tom but granted not a top 4 team player.
Saying that we are not a top 4 team yet.

This is the largest club in SL surely our aspirations are significantly higher than the likes of Briscoe, Donaldson and Thompson. Would these players get a game at Saints, Wigan, Warrington? If we want to compete we have to have a team that offers more than just effort
