It's funny how people miss the intimidating atmosphere of the Boulevard yet an opposition player gets a bit of stick and it's apparently not on.

Usually the players getting stick are the ones doing a job against us or are likely to. The also rans rarely get any stick because they were either average when they were with us or aren't effective against us, so there's no point barracking them.

Fans that say Briscoe is rubbish/wouldn't want him in our team are bordering on having the white van coming to their front doors.

not sure anybody has said Briscoe is rubbish?

Exactly, he's a quality player and his contact was up with us and he moved on. Fair enough. But he should still get some stick as every opposition player should.

It's a shame that people are so petty. As far as players are concerned it's a career, there's no place for sentiment or loyalty, in 10 years time his career will be over, he needs to take every opportunity he can get to win things and earn money. If we aren't good enough as a club to give him the opportunities he needs then that's our problem, not his.



Besides, the good times from 2008 to 2013 were pretty few and far between, and when I think of the highlights during that time he was responsible for most of them. I don't see how anyone can boo him.

The poster above (SUZIE) mentioned that some fans around her were saying he was rubbish hence I mentioned it.

Think people slate him because of the lies he (most likely his agent, though he should be honest too) told the club about NRL interest whilst really he was negotiating with Leeds.

Not a Hull FC player, lock it

Not a Hull FC player, give him stick!

i do believe,he said he would`nt play for another super league club if he did`nt get signed up in the nrl.

So when he didn't get a deal in the NRL, and we withdrew our offer. What was he supposed to do, retire? Or offer to play for us for nothing?

Back when we was the best fans in the league, any player would get absolutely crucified for leaving and signing for Leeds. Now we have all the dripping wet apologists wanting to hold his hand, and tuck him into bed at night. I wish you lot had all buggered off to Leeds with him!
