| Quote Wilde 3="Wilde 3"Listening to Humberside after the game and Murdoch said after Briscoe's fantastic solo effort 'If there is a better winger in world rugby, I am yet to see it'
At the time I thought it was a very bold statement to make, but comparing Briscoe to the SOO wingers for example, he may be have a point:
Uate - very quick and strong, but doesnt have the 'class' to make something from nothing, lacks the balance that TB has
Boyd - is a fullback
Morris - great winger, strong and quick - probably ahead of Briscoe at this stage
Yow Yeh - promising player but i think overall, TB has more to his game
Am i being completely bias?? Maybe!
I just hope he keeps improving and produces more of the same'"
You have to take in consideration the fact that Briscoe plays against Superleague defences, and you've stated wingers playing state of origin, against undoubtedly the best defenders in the world. When Briscoe proves he can do his magic internationally against the big two, i'll agree  |

There are many wingers quicker, more skillful and who have better footwork in the NRL than Briscoe. |

Your probably right,but what im saying is dont judge him on his england peformances(for what it worth,idont think hes done much wrong) judge him on what hes doing for hull..which for me is superb. |

Fair point. I don't 100% agree with you about his Hull form however. I agree he has done some superb things, but in some games i've recently seen he has been a very average winger, one who makes no impact in a game, and has made some simple handling errors. I don't know if you went to the St Helens game but he was well below average. I'm also thinking of the Castleford game was it? Where he bombed a couple of certain tries. I'm not faulting the kid, nobody can be top of their game all the time. Just using the examples to stress why i think he's nowhere near the best winger in the world!
Best english winger by a country mile though |

Best winger in super league by a country mile. He scores tries off his own back that I just cant see any other winger in this league scoring, in-fact, the last british winger we had like him was Brian Carney. the tries against Saints at home and away, rovers at home, wakefield at home as examples. Fantastic balance, unbelieveably strong, great at returning the ball and very quick from standing start. The only thing that stops him from being world class is his inconsistency. Ive seen him take a bomb above his head under pressure, yet some days he cant take a kick with no-one round him. He drifts in and out of games too much for me.

| Quote JMR="JMR"If Murdoch really did make that statement...it says more about his own ignorance of the sport than anything about Tom Briscoe.
Not knocking Briscoe, but racking up hat-tricks against the likes of Salford mean nothing in the context of Murdoch's 'moment of madness'.
Let's be honest, Briscoe has been a hitherto disappointment on the international stage. He was even 'hooked' in favour of Peter Fox in the 2009 Four Nations and his most noteworthy contribution to last year's event was his dreadful mistake from a Lockyer kick which cost England a try at a critical stage.
Quote JMRUntil he even begins to make a semblance of impact in the international arena, he cannot possibly be mentioned in the same breath as NRL stars such as Vetuvei, Boyd, Nightingale, Hayne, Uate, Vidot, Yow Yeh, etc etc...let alone Pat Richards.'" '"
thats a bit like saying George best was e cos he only played for Northern Ireland. Tom Briscoe will probably never be a world cup winner thats true, but it doesnt mean he isnt/wont be as good as any of them other players, and are the Aussies full of world class wingers? if so why do they play 2 f/b's on the wings in the S.O.O games, (Boyb, Hayne) |
