I still can't see the issue with the actual signing.
He wouldn't have been on my list but now he is here what harm can it do?
If he shows his top form he plays. If he doesn't then we have the same half backs as last year that people were crying out for.

Good signing should sort out the lack of direction we often had last season.

Optimism for the new season really sapped out of me with this confirmation. 2 year deal for a 36 year old too? Bizarre.

Still, all I can do is see how it goes.


Why would the signing of a half with a quality kicking game "suck the optimism" out of you? Even if Brough didn't sign you're still left with the same options and at worst we have more depth now that he has signed. :?

It's sort of where I stand now. When it was first rumored I didn't think it was a place we needed to waste the precious funds we've got especially on a 36-year-old Brough, once Renoylds was signed up.

I'll post what I said to someone on VT who said Brough was basically gonna lose us games being carded - Tbh I'm not sure we need him but he's played really well for Hudds during their wins this past season and has only seen one yellow. Also, tbf to Brough, he might not be at his best but even now he's still one of the best halves in the League. So we'll see how he goes.
He's still got an excellent kicking game, something we've lacked at times especially in close games & where we've needed to see them out. ATEOTD if he doesn't play at the top of his game and be on his best behavior, it's not as if there aren't others that will take his place at the drop of the hat.

Re: Brough is back : Sat Nov 03, 2018 11:44 pm  
Compare our current squad to our squad at this point last year.

Liam Finn - good kicking game and a decent rugby brain.

Danny Brough - probably one of the best kicking games in the league, equally blessed with a good rugby brain and has pace over 20-30 metres.

Possibly his only downside is his temper, id say cut that out and we’re fine but he’s been like it his whole career so I guess the only thing we can do is embrace it, every team needs a grub! Lol

Danny is talking the talk (owes Wakefield fans etc) let's see if he walks the walk. Undoubted talent and I have a sneaky feeling he'll do ok for us.

That's sorted then. Welcome back (again :D ).

Fingers crossed for a fantastic 2019 with all our half back options. :DANCE:

Just makes the Ben Reynolds signing totally pointless.
