So, in your opinion, Joe Westerman is a poor player?

Don't watch much of the NRL then eh?

I watch a fair amount through 365.

Out of interest, which wingers (so no Boyd, Hayne etc) do you think are better?

Thought the same myself, and remembered these comments on Briscoe by General Zod:

"The hard evidence was there for all to see - the kid does not have any significant pace so why can't FC fans like you just accept the fact?"

"I just don't think he's fast or agile enough."

"I've felt the need to educate the FC fans about why Tom Briscoe does not have the athletic ability to play at international level unlike Fox."

"I'm merely making the point that Peter Fox in top-form is the closest thing I've seen to Offiah since his retirement"

"Tom Briscoe just isn't good enough - end of."

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:



and i hear the same thing every day off him at work shocking!!!

briscoe is sneaky fast, like gary Connolly used to be. but mcgoldrick is not really a good yardstick.

Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn't Work Hard

Re: Tom Briscoe - How fast? : Sun Sep 04, 2011 9:36 pm  
People bang on about stats on here but a stat that isn't taken into account is the amount of penalties a player wins which is something Briscoe is sensational at, be it winning 1 for causing a player to hold him down too long or catching markers not square.

Briscoe is probably the best in Super League but the world? No, for example:
Matt Duffie
Jason Nightingale
Jharal Yow Yeh
Brett Morris
A Uate
Nathan Merritt
just to name a few

Uate was a machine in SOO, he throws his body into the defence after every kick return.

However I do think Briscoe has world class qualities. His ability to run at pace through opposition defences and create a chance of scoring from a stand still is phenomenal.

Yow Yeh and Uate are a class above every other winger in world rugby.

I wouldn't swap Briscoe for any of the other players you have named though especially Matt Duffie who has no right to be on a best wingers in the world list.
