BRISCOE ON HIS FUTURE AND SATURDAY'S GAME AGAINST LEIGH LEOPARDS
TOM Briscoe is still out of contract at Hull FC with six games of the regular season to go, but the veteran, who scored his 100th try for the club against Salford Red Devils last Sunday, is still cool and collected about the situation.
Even after a month that has been a bit unorthodox, with Briscoe an unused interchange at Wigan, then an interchange against Huddersfield, then a starter against Salford, his stance hasn’t changed: do his best and see what happens.
That professionalism has served Briscoe well throughout his career, with the player making no secret of his desire to remain at Hull into the 2026 season. But for now, he wants to let his rugby do the talking as he looks to maintain his spot in John Cartwright’s side.
Asked by Hull Live if he’s still knocking on the head coach's door, Briscoe said, tongue in cheek: “I'm still trying. I still want to play on and I obviously enjoy being at the club. But like I said to you before, I just concentrate on playing and hopefully all that will take care of itself”
