I do wonder if people forget that there is only 10 months age difference between Herbert and Briggs.

People refer to Briggs as though he is a youngster.

Good point.

However, he is non-quota and appears to have at least as much potential as Herbert (assuming he can tighten his defence)

Hmm. Starting to agree with statuses like these. For me, Briggs offers much more than Sherbert.

Fwiw, this move is fine by me, as long as KB returns to us next year.

Whilst that is perfectly true I think we have to make allowances for someone coming from a lower (semi pro) division. He was also, in the general scheme of things, a late singing who missed the whole of our (full time) pre season preparatory work which put him at another disadvantage.

If this story is true it might be the best thing that could happen for him, and for my two pennorth he has a lot of good things in his game, so let's hope it's the making of him.

I believe he also began life at Leeds before being released, not unheard of for a club to make a mistake letting a good young un go though.

I hope he can improve the weak aspects in his game and prove me wrong. I just haven't seen anything from him that leads me to believe he is one for the future like some are suggesting. He could well develop into a solid SL player but that's about all IMO. I have heard a few whispers of some attitude issues but whether there is any truth there I cannot be sure. There has to be some valid reasons why Potter is not picking him. We aren't exactly blessed in the halfbacks to be letting players go out on loan.
