Big step up from championship to super league and he has lots to learn and in my opinion will not be quite ready.I'm sure MP will recognise that and go with more experience to start. Great prospect that he is , i'd hate to see his confidence wrecked by putting him in the team too soon.

I've said it before, start Briggs. He's got to play at somepoint so it might as well be sooner than later.

I think he will go really well. Looked good in the highlights of the Dewsbury game and can only get better the more he trains as a full time player.

I was thinking the same about easing briggs in gradually. but after seeing dewbury highlights I've changed my opinion. He made the transition look effortless. Providing he doesnt have a howler on sunday I wouldnt have any qualms throwing him in against leeds.

As long as Briggs and Herbert kick Leeds to death then I'm happy

That sounds like a plan

given its only friendly that briggs and herbert have opportunity to play together before leeds thinks its pretty much a certainty that briggs will start at standoff. And would imagine we wont be restricted to a 4 man bench.

appologies, Thats what i would go for at the starting of the season, with regards to the friendly I would start with briggs and herbert then maybe swap with Kearny at half time

tbh I wouldnt bother swapping at halftime. Like you I was thinking leeds game would be too early to throw brigg in at SL level but after seeing Dewsbury highlights he looks to have slotted into our setup pretty seamlessly. so unless he really doesnt click with herbert on sunday I'm coming round to idea of just putting him straight in against leeds.
