A fully fit Tom Briscoe would walk into any SL team and a fair few NRL teams.

To not want that type of playing your side is just plain childish.

We have Michaels & Naughton in his place, on almost the same cash, 2 for 1, so it was a loss at the time but I see it as a gain.

Maybe it was going to Leeds that hacked me off but to be fair i dont think we miss him at this moment in time. Im also a big believer in you dont go back, yes Briscoe's a decent player but i think there's plenty more about than him with the same capabilities. As for been childish i dont think i am, what if he re-signed for Hull then we had a poor season again, would he then decide Hull was not for him again????

Briscoe, at his time of leaving was one of the top 3 wingers in Super League (Hall and Charnley being the other 2). Having been at Hull for 6 seasons, we'd been in 2 losing CC finals and a best finish of 6th in SL. He came to the end of his contract and was free to leave. Its not like he was holding the club to ransom (ala Schofield) or walked out on us (ala Cooke).

If Hull had a poor season, any player could in theory say they didnt fancy it any more.

Have the rules changed again re dragging a player into touch? I thought they'd changed it to push only. Taylor just dragged a Waky player.
