Think we are looking for things that are not there. There are plenty of occasions were not all the team are celebrating the scoring of a try. Late in the game long range effort most of the young backs were there the forwards stayed back. Nothing to see here

He's getting used to a new club, a new centre and a new side of the field. All of which are going to take time to build up a rapport and understanding.



He'll come good, and BJB moving on will mean he's not getting left out just to give someone else game time next season.

Thought he was very good yesterday, and in his defence for the knock on, i've no idea what Watkins was doing playing catch and pass with about 10-15 yards of space to run into. I'd imagine Briscoe wasn't really expecting it so soon.

After the knock-on incident, McGuire was telling Watkins off in no uncertain terms. Quite rightly too, IMHO. He passed far too early for Briscoe. Admittedly, he should have caught it, but he wasn't the only culprit in a badly botched moment.

I do hope he does come good. I was worried that he may have gotten complacent as BJB is on his way and regarded himself an auto pick in the side. Hopefully not the case and he will keep on improving.

Spot on these two posts. I've said before Watkins gets a free pass on here when he doesn't have a big game and the blame is always laid on the door of others not giving him opportunities. Well he had a great opportunity yesterday and didn't take it.

I've watched the game back again, and Briscoe was indeed better than I gave him credit for, his overall contribution was very good. At the time it certain things stick in the mind like the couple of errors he made, and sometimes you forget the small but essential contributions a player makes over the course of the game.

Told me he wants to come back to Hull....say's that silly song they sing,even when the match has kicked off makes him vomit.

You may have a point about the grace Watkins is given which is probably due to his freakish talents. However the incident yesterday do not illustrate your point. Watkins may have given the ball a little early but he still gave his winger the ball, early and in space with room to run. The ball was in Briscoe's hands. To somehow lay the blame for the knock on at Watkins feet is plain silly.



Anyway, back to the point of the thread, Andy Gilder has nailed it. That said, he had a poor year last year at Hull and it was written off due to his contract situation, if we're putting this year down to his new club situation lets hope Briscoe focuses on his rugby next year.

What song is that then?

The only one they sing......I take it you don't go to matches then ?

Strange, he told me he was desperate to stay. Said even the water in Hull makes him vomit.
