Interesting players like Bruno, Hinchliffe and kruse all said they wouldn’t sign again if brough got another deal, yet thewlis gives his drinking partner another year and the culture that needs to change so badly stays the same as a result

It wouldn't surprise me.

With last night's dire atmosphere, it was easy to hear the players on the pitch and what they were saying. The way Brough was talking at (shouting at) some of them, it does not indicate a happy team culture.

I've been pretty positive about the Giants so far this season, but last night was as bad as it gets.

Both our halfbacks looked old and slow

when was the last time danny brough had a good game?

2005? Warrington v Hull in the playoffs?

He is a big problem for Huddersfield as I see it. Offers nothing these days, and he was never that good in his prime. He has always gone missing when the pressure has been on. Not to mention his off field issues. Can't believe he has just got another extension.

It was Brough who took us to the next level and once he does hang up his boots I’m hoping he stays on board at the Giants to pass on his experience, kicking, organisation and many other attributes he has to up and coming players. Ps I think you’re talking rubbish regarding the players who won’t sign due to Brough signing an extension and it’s not even worth commenting on the crap you’re saying about the drinking culture.

he did take us to next level and thats why he was tolerated, not now, and he will probably be offered a role after as thewlis will look after him and you dont want to believe it but the players 100% dont like brough and made it clear when away on army camp, all they said was ignored and brough got another deal, mate believe what you want but its the sad truth

Absolute rubbish and a typical HullFC fans comment regarding an ex player ffs.

In his first 3 seasons at Wakefield and his next 3 at Hudds he was utterly superb END OF. Without doubt the most naturally gifted player in SL at the time END OF.

Danny's only weakness was Danny and now his skills and strength have deserted him he's no use to anyone because it exposes him for what he is - and that's not a very nice person.

Yet despite that for many Trin fans and I suspect Giants fans he's a flawed legend.

oh and culture doesnt relate to drinking culture, the odd few drink but thats not the issue

I was being kind of facetious, but that game I mention when he had Andrew Johns in his pocket all night is still the best I've seen him play.

He was a very talented player no doubt and has done great things for every club he has played for. My issue with him, and the reason I would never have picked him for GB/England has always been his tendancy to choke or to do something really stupid when the pressure was on him in the really important games.

In his prime you could have described him as a flawed genius. These days he is just flawed.

I could have got a team of mates together and beaten hull kr tonight.

Can’t even beat a team that bad

surely that WAS you and your mates wasn't it?, if your the coach its you who wants sacking

Re: Hull KR next up : Fri Mar 16, 2018 11:57 am  

There is some true rubbish talked on here sometimes, Does anyone think if Brough left tomorrow the giants would suddenly learn how to play rugby. He is not the player he was that's true but you can not fault his effort nor that of most of the team, It's not effort that's lacking it's skill, They are utterly predictable in their attacking and sadly woeful in their defense most of the time, they look like they are already relegated.

If there are not changes made at the top of the club soon they will be down the tubes and it's exactly what they will deserve. HKR will not be fighting for honours this year but they are a lot better side than we are even with our fist 17 out ( if that ever happens ) We can call Brough all we want but we are paying players who only play a couple of games a season and others who's season doesn't start till August or whatever, Somebody at the club has really got his finger on the pulse and it just goes on and on and on, Talk about one step forward and two back, When rick Stone came we took one step forward in surviving , we are still on that same step two years down the line.

And yes i haven,t posted for a while ( for the man who keeps tabs ) but there are plenty of posters who are not on here twice a day and they are usually the one's who talk sense

I watched you guys play against Wakefield and last night and I think if some of you think Danny Brough is the issue then the problem ig a lot bigger than you think. In fact, i'd say in both games he was one of the stand out players for effort in your team and in the first half against Wakefield he was superb. As for last night, do you expect him to produce miracles? You wouldn't have scored for the rest of the game if you had Cooper Cronk at 7.

They are making yards- but there’s not a decent offload amongst them.

They do have decent off loads jools but after 2 season's under the coaching talent's of Mr Stone and Co they now don't look for the offload. It's almost as if they are being told not to offload at any cost or they'll be dropped for the next game. That's how I see the team at the moment, no ambition, no flair just 5 boring monotonous one up drives then kick. A couple of times in the second half the forwards did get an offload away and hey presto the person receiving the ball ran straight back into the ruck???????
