Tom Briscoe admits he thought he would never play for the Rhinos again, but will now bow out at Old Trafford. The winger will depart the club at the end of the campaign after nine seasons at Headingley, with his final game to be on the biggest of stages at the Theatre of Dreams.
It's been some turnaround for the 32-year-old, who just a few months ago was still on the sidelines through injury and had been informed he would not be offered a new contract by the club. Ash Handley and David Fusitu'a were both on form and with Briscoe's injury four months deep, his time at the club looked to be heading towards an unmemorable end. But now he'll be given the chance to play in another Grand Final, with Briscoe returning to form after injuries to the club's other wingers.
A move to Leigh Centurions is understood to be on the card but for now, he will focus on ending his Leeds career by winning a seventh major trophy.
