Been confirmed this morning that Richards is going back to West Tigers when his contract finishes at the end of the season.

Would love Briscoe at Wigan, always rated him, but assumed he was NRL bound as well in 2014?

Re: Briscoe : Fri Apr 26, 2013 9:22 am  

All rumours, no one has a clue if he's been approached by Wigan or Cronulla or any team for that matter. Gossip has snowballed and now people think he's off to Wigan.

PS I'd love it if he did though!

Looking more likely as he has made no announcement on his future and the 1st May deadline looms. I don't blame him if he does as he could play out the rest of his career at Hull and be unlikely to win any trophies

Looking even more likely now.

lets be honest, weve currently got 2 players pi$$ing us around with contracts waiting to be signed, id say, get rid of both, IMO we have cover for briscoe and tickle.... save the cash and spend it wisely on players in which we need to recruit....

I agree it's obvious Briscoe doesn't want to be here beyond this season and tbh on current form he'll not be missed by me. Tickle has hardly played in the last eight months so I won't lose sleep over him either..

Re: Briscoe : Fri Apr 26, 2013 10:13 am  

Will be a big loss wherever he goes. If he cuts out the odd error that he's prone to he could be one of the best in the world.
If the controversy that's happened at the Sharks hadn't happened, Tom would already be signed and announced there.
He'll go to the NRL I reckon, I don't think there's any excuse for our best talent not to be over there.

how do you know they are "pi55ing us around", they have maybe made their decisions but the club have decided not to announce it, we may still be in negotiations with them?

they are talking about their futures as professional RL players, possibly the last contract Tickle will get, I don't think either of them are messing us about, these thing take time.

Silly comment.!! Tickles very few but always possible injuries after consistent yrs of good performances.
Briscoe top four tackle busts n metres in the whole league even when as a team we've been poor and he isn't even tryin.!! always a major impact on wingers. Also he's probably still though the only player in our team that can score or break out of nothing.
