League Express Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Widnes Vikings have confirmed that Shaun Briscoe has left the club with immediate effect by mutual consent. Vikings CEO James Rule commented: "Shaun has had limited playing opportunities this year and we have therefore agreed to an early release from his existing contract. This will enable him to pursue other options that will provide him with more regular playing opportunities. "We thank Shaun for his contribution to the Vikings and wish him the best of luck in his future career."

Viking Warrior Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 i'm really sad to see shaun leave but he has had terrible luck with injuries which have hampered his time with the vikings, and i wish him well where ever he goes....

Just to be clear Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Just to be clear, that is twice James Rule has become chief executive of a club then in his first year let Briscoe go. It was after he had taken up the same position at Hull they decided not to renew Briscoe's contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he admitted in a local rag that he's been fit all season, just Betts wasn't picking him. There has been rumours of a fall out between the two.......... Widnes - Cheshire's Original Glamour Club.

Old Frightful Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just to be clear, that is twice James Rule has become chief executive of a club then in his first year let Briscoe go. It was after he had taken up the same position at Hull they decided not to renew Briscoe's contract. Hull didn't let Briscoe go. They offered him a contract that, in Shaun's eyes, wasn't enough. They then allowed him to talk to other clubs. After this he apparently decided he'd rather stay at Hull but Hull had already allocated some of his contract money elsewhere. (Must be summat in the name "Briscoe" here...) So he ended up at Hull KR. Feel for the lad really, one of the bravest and biggest hearted competitors around but his body simply couldn't cope with the batterings he constantly put it through in this sport of ours. Hope things go well for him and his family at Workington and wherever else he goes. Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?" Jake Connor : "I don't know, to be honest I haven't spoken to him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nec Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 workington was a more attractive option than salford............. In the way that Basra is more attractive than Mogadishu Rugby League is a sport that desperately needs to expand its geographical supporter base and its player base. This imperative means that all other requirements are secondary until this is done. All power in the game should be with governing bodies, especially international governing bodies. Without these actions we will remain a minor sport internationally and nationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Browny Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 A really gutsy player, hope he has better luck at Workington. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

nec Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 From Carlisle, how can you have the nerve to say that. Workington, where you can count half a dozen eggs on the fingers of one hand.

nec Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Delightful,you sound lovely. Sorry, thought I was bantering with someone with a sense of humour. For the record Wukkinton does not resemble Basra and the residents usually have 5 fingers on each hand. Siddick is a charming fishing village.

TheBinman Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Was a very good old fashioned fullback had the pleasure of watching him back in 04, 05 where he was a top support player and safe as houses but unfortunately with injuries and the way the game as changed the role of the fullback hasn't helped saun and I would say now that top end of championship is where he shud b playing.
