We could only hope he's as good as them. I haven't seen enough of him for anyone to go off what I say though.

Just a question to those that follow ESL, how is Briscoe in the air?

Also, does anyone else think Briscoe looks like a very thin Brod Wright?

In your head, rent free
he'd probably be on par in the dry conditions

in the wet miserable weather in england, none of the wingers are really that crash hot

No to Manu for me he costs his team more games than he wins them. His a liability, all be it on his day he is a beast but over all a liability. Plus he wouldn't come cheap.

183cms and 86kgs

In the limited games i've seen of him I think brett morris is just about the closest comparison i've seen to him in playing style. In size comparison morris is the same height and 91kgs.

Ok thanks, bigger than he looks- hope he's arriving soon.

you're kidding?

Manu would be a great signing
Nope a couple of seasons ago I would have been all for it. However these days the money he would demand for what you get in return is a joke. He is a Beast when his on but he just makes too many mistakes both defensive and attacking.

I'll say no to Manu.

He'd cost too much and he's hot and cold in regards to form.

I'm a huge Manu fan. If he was an Aussie he'd be a superstar.

But I think if he leaves the Warriors it will be for the northern hemisphere. Big wingers earn big bucks up there.

I watch a lot of the Super League and Briscoe is that sort of winger who turns a half chance into a try. WIth a full NRL off season would be a centre in the Josh Morris mold
