He’s had 5 seasons too many at Leeds, stole a living since at least 2018
Ultimately signing him on balance has been poor/disappointing, considering some thought he was the best/top3 Winger in SL when he signed. Those 5 tries at Wembley will top a short highlight reel, his calamities reel is a 3 parter

Load of rubbish and very disrespectful to the player.

I’d say its harsh but fair.

I was delighted when we signed him we got an international winger to go with our WBW. After about 3 seasons we ended up with a championship std plodder

Not true . He was very good in 2017 and scored a brilliant try in the grand final. Has given his all since, though age and injuries have caught up. To stay ‘stealing a living ‘ is a load of nonsense.

Briscoe's career has really fizzled out and he probably shouldn't have been re-signed last time round, and never used as a centre. Those were club decisions and shouldn't be held against him.

His highlights reel is far more than the 5 tries at Wembley - he consistently did well in big games (nine tries in five finals) and is one of very few players with three Challenge Cup wins with Leeds. I wish him all the best.

The 5 try CC event was indeed his pinnacle and from that point he has got slower and lacked confidence on high kicks and lost the ability to tackle.
It would have been best not to extend his contract last time and I guess that came down to sentiment.
I wish him well but wish that would have been a few seasons ago. He will be lucky if anyone wants him now.

Good luck Tom. Been a good servant for us over the last decade.
