TOM Briscoe says his former club Hull FC know how to raise their game when they face their old rivals Leeds Rhinos.
The winger made the switch to West Yorkshire in the 2013 off-season and returns to the KC Stadium for the first time tonight since his transfer on a five-year deal.
The England international scored 90 tries in 147 games for the Black and Whites before moving to Headingley at the end of last season, and knows of the frustrations Hull are currently going through.
"When you ask any of the players – and I do keep in touch with them – they say how one week they could win with a good performance and then a week later they don't quite turn up and get turned over," Briscoe said.
"They have been inconsistent and that's the frustrating thing.
"It's very frustrating and it was similar when I played there. They all want to put in the big display but somehow it just doesn't come off.
"I know they like to raise their game against Leeds, though, and especially given it's the last game of their season so they'll come out firing and want to put in a performance like they did in the derby win over Hull KR."
The Rhinos are looking to avoid a third-straight defeat in Super League after suffering damaging losses to London, St Helens and Wigan over the past month – but a Challenge Cup final win in between has eased concerns.
Briscoe knows what Leeds must fix up to avoid another lowly defeat.
"We made some silly errors last week giving away too much ball," he said.
"We've looked to fix some of those mistakes up and now we want to go to Hull and get on a bit of a roll.
"I'm really looking forward to going back; I couldn't have waited any longer it being the last day of season."
