Danny Brough : Sun May 30, 2021 5:53 pm  

Thought he deserves his own thread.

Best signing in years for me. I know there was some reservations when we signed him with him being 38. But age is just a number when you have the brain he has and has the ability to play in a dinner jacket. Completely ran the show today and he's running that team for us. He's a joy to watch at the moment.

I agree him and Lilley certainly seem to be firing on all cylinders!

Re: Danny Brough : Sun May 30, 2021 7:21 pm  

The last couple of games him and Lilly have started to get some really good combinations going. They didn't seem to link up that well at the start of the season but they've improved game on game. Watching them today was a joy.

He's been a revelation so far this year. His kicking game, game management and creativity have been fantastic to watch. The real positive in my opinion is how well other players in the squad are playing with DB in the team. Lilley, Pickersgill and Brown have all been brilliant and have improved massively with Brough in the side.

He's certainly made an impact and rarely gets tackled with the ball. Lilley and Pickersgill have really improved with Brough in the side too.

Also Brough looks to be enjoying himself. He seems to be happy organising and encouraging the young players around him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as Bulls next coach when Kear decides to call it a day.

According to theT & A he has torn his bicep . Bit of a sickener is that .

I was looking forward to seeing where we were as a side against Feath. Its impossible to say how far we've narrowed the gap from that team that played in the cup. Sadly no Brough for that game and many more to come is an absolute ar5e.

Re: Danny Brough : Sun Jun 06, 2021 5:53 pm  

sorry should have posted here really .... ar5e doesnt quite capsulate ... we have been coming on nicely and missing him on the field is certainly a blow, but that doesnt deter from the influence hes made off the field. whats that guys name ... oh yeah "matt awful" ... doing well that year then gets injured (just to get out of a 3 year contract cause really he didnt like the cold "fuk wit' then barged off).

jokes aside .. its not wot he offers on the pitch (which he seems to be loving) but the guy he is to the other players as a leader. all is not lost, and i dont think he'll scoot back to oz or mars this year. good to have a guy like him around, injured or not.


edited as my 'ar5e' with an 's' was homogenized into 'booty' lol

If we are to lose Danny Brough for 12-14 weeks, we could go with these options:

Option 1: Pickersgill/Lilley in the halves. Goulding or Brown at FB.
Option 2: Jowitt/Lilley in the halves. Pick at FB.
Option 3: Goulding/Lilley in the halves. Pick at FB.
Option 4: Bring somebody in on loan.
Option 5: See what Marc Herbert is up to...
