Briscoe for centre. He makes so many telling runs and occupies the opponent. I just think he'd be a bit wasted out on the wing and should be involved as much as poss'.

The way we play a winger probably gets more involved than a centre and in all honesty the more i see Briscoe play on the wing the more i think he has all the attributes you want of a winger.

I would agree with that, we need to see what he can do at centre but for now he is looking like a very good winger. Still makes a few mistakes but he is learning, his power and pace are fantastic and he is going to be a superb player.

At the time I thought it was the right choice. Having just seen it again on SLTV, I think he should have passed. Horne would have gone over for the try imo.
Briscoe did play well though. But it was so fustrating that the only time the wingers got much ball was when they came inside and looked for it. In fact I don't think our 2-5 got any good ball all game. We played so negatively its unreal. If we get into the top 5 like that though then fair enough, I'll take that all day long.

Could be the option to get both Hall, Yeaman and Briscoe in the same team.

From next year or the year after we may see:
New FB
Calderwood
Hall
Yeamo
Briscoe

And i wouldnt be too disappointed either TBH with a really good full back added to that mix it looks pretty good. (and English!)

TBH a lot of people say that Tony wants to go back to the NRL when his contract is up but I've not seen anything that would indicate this. Not in the past year or two anyway at least.
If he does go though, I wouldn't be suprised if Hall moved there, meaning:

Hall, Calderwood, Briscoe, Yeaman, Raynor.

I think Briscoe looks more of a winger at the moment though.

Which was what, 2 and a bit season ago? Thats a long time. Plus I still don't actually remember seeing anything in the press back then about it
