i know its a bit late nah phelps is here but y didnt we try playin briscoe at fullback and whiting at . When tom played at fev lions he would play fullback and also i know bloke who coached him and he said he wo brilliant at fullback.

Briscoe at fullback?

Why when that is where Phelps plays plus Tom is on the way to being a world class winger.

I think he meant before Phelps arrived.

Still don't get it, he is a winger so I don't understand why people want to turn him in to something else.

Jack? Is the op confused?

Its like the whole Horne been a fullback theory, he played their a few times as a youngster so he must be able to play there at super league level.

we all know Horne should be a 13!

agree with Paul (in part) Briscoe is a solid winger, no need to move him.

Think he explained in his original post, the guy who coached him at Fev Lions states he was a brilliant full back. However he has become a very good (becomming a world class) winger but is a centre!

Now Phelps is at full back at least everyone can get back playing in their rightful positions...well kind of!

Is El Gringo Richard Agar?

Personally I think O'Meley at FB is the way forward

if u read the post i wasnt sayin put at fullback for good just until phelps arrived. Just felt hed be more effective there than in centres and whiting would play in his regular position where he is much more effective.

While I agree that moving him while he is establishing himself as a top class winger would be a bad move at the moment, I really don't see how you can pidgeon hole him as a winger, if the OP is correct he played his junior rugby at fullback, right up until he played first team he played at centre for Hull, and the coaching staff have said on numerous occasions they see him as a centre. I imagine if Briscoe played fullback his kick returns would be excellent, and having more time on the ball and in broken play would suit his game, I wouldn't rule him out playing fullback in the future. Slater, Hayne and Minnichello all played wing at various levels earlier in there careers before fullback.

Especially as he's at a club where wingers haven't been correctly used since The Boulevard (maybe Colin Best was, at a push)
