Most outstanding three-quarters are interchangeable these days. Just because their clubs want them to get their hands on the ball as much as possible from full-back doesn't make Boyd or Hayne any less of a winger!



As for your first point, Hayne made far more impact playing for Fiji in the World Cup semi-final than Briscoe has in any international against the 'big two'.



Hayne, Boyd or any of the others mentioned wouldn't have embarrasingly spilled that 'dolly' catch that Briscoe did in the Four Nations either!

Tom is outstanding but not yet perfect. At the age of 20 I would not expect him to be TBF.



The real indicator of how good Tom Briscoe is would be to see how many clubs would be interested in signing him should Hull FC go bang (you wish!) and I confidently predict every Super League club would be in for Tom Briscoe.



I reckon he would be a top class centre as well given the chance.



From a selfish point of view I hope he stays at Hull but could also see him going to the NRL and proving himself as a top, maybe even outstanding back, on the biggest RL stage.



Just my opinion of course.

or like that silly pass by Billy Slater that lost the game for Australia against NZ

As an Eels fan I think Hayne is outstanding but have seen many a brain fart from him as well.



I may well use this in a future argument...

Every team in the NRL would be interested too as no side has 2 wingers better than him on their roster.

I don't think you would find an individual alive - with the possible exception of Craig Murdoch - who doesn't think that St George have three wingers better than Briscoe.



Morris, Nightingale and Boyd.



That said, I don't disagree that Briscoe has the attributes to play in the NRL and would/will be in demand before long.

Narrowed it down to 1 NRL team now?

I would rather have Briscoe than Nightingale and claiming Boyd is grasping at straws.



Anyway given the fact you think Daniel Vidot is a NRL star I don't know why I'm discussing this with you.

The fact Boyd is going to Newcastle and Nightingale maybe be fb next season st George would be very interested in Briscoe.



JMR poor trolling once again.

FC are his preferred team, don't you know?

Glad i saw this thread. Was about to come on and ask a question about briscoe. There is a dream team topic on the wigan board which is quickly descending into bickering between wigan and wire fans about why certain players in their respective teams haven't been selected. However, i found it baffling that hardly anybody (in fact, possibly nobody) had included briscoe on the wing. Granted, we only see him once or twice a season plus the tv games, but whenever i have seen him he has looked top class. Easily the best english winger around and for what it's worth i thought he was one of the few who looked ok in the last 4 nations tournament.

I suspect if you asked the coaches of those 2 teams and probably all the Super League teams Tom Briscoe's name would come up. Tony Smith made his feelings quite clear about what he thinks about him after Hull defeated Warrington earlier in the season.
