Re: Brough : Tue Sep 03, 2019 7:57 am  

Broughys is doing fine

It’s his jobs to call the plays and kick on the last
He’s doing ok with that
His goal kicking and his defence are excellent too
He’s not lost an ounce of aggression or determination

Is he the super star that he was under jk? No he isn’t but that was ten years ago

Is he being professional and doing the job to the best of his ability

Yes he absolutely is, no question

Brough and Miller are an excellent combination but theyve being playing behind a struggling pack

I think we saw on Sunday when the forwards go forward miller was buzzing about all over the place
The Wigan defence was really struggling to contain him
To me brough taking charge of one area allows miller to excel in another

It’s just being an awful year for the whole team
Next year we will be back up there I am sure

And then you woke up?

Meanwhile in the real world, Escare was buzzing.

Really don't think Escare is all that, thought he had a howler on Sunday.

Back to Brough - he really isn't doing his job that effectively, kicking game is average at best, goal kicking not been great, and his distribution is pretty poor - majority of his passes seem to be too high/behind the man. He's not been awful but I think we all expected more, he looked good at the start of the season but since doing his thumb i think the Brough/Miller partnership has looked worse than the Hampshire/Miller partnership at the end of last year.

I would say it's too late to make a change though, 2 games remaining to save our super league status probably not the right time to be messing around with the half backs.

Re: Brough : Tue Sep 03, 2019 8:56 am  

Agree with Musson to a certain extent.Brough himself , I can assure people, is not satisfied with his form, but he does not deserve the amount of 'flak' aimed at him.

That's pretty much where I'm at. And it would be madness to change it now, with two games to go. That was probably what was needed a few weeks ago, with a new partnership having time to settle.

I'm sure Broughy isn't happy with his form, but that doesn't mean that it's okay. It's a shame, but he isn't the Danny Brough of a few years ago. It's hard to attack the line when in the opposition twenty if the passes to Miller or whoever are not accurate, because by the time he has recovered the defence are in his face. And his kicking game isn't good.

BUT, the spark is there, and there might be a good game still in him, and hopefully this Friday.

As for Escare, Sunday was a bad one at times, and perhaps that is why he doesn't get a gig at Wigan, his inconsistency, but he has added some zip since he came.

Yes like a demented bee , thought he was poor against Wigan and tbh the two games showed why he can’t command a regular spot, but you can’t really leave him out.

Behind a strong pack miller has shown really well this last two games . Brough for all his faults is still best scrum half we have.

Totally agree with mission on this -

Re: Brough : Tue Sep 03, 2019 11:42 am  

I fail to see how Brough is the best 7 we’ve got when we’ve won more games with Hampshire at 7.

Re: Brough : Tue Sep 03, 2019 12:01 pm  

Hampshire is a decent player, but not the ‘god’ some make out. If it had been BJB coming off his wing for the Marshall try in the corner all hell would have been let loose.

Re: Brough : Tue Sep 03, 2019 12:28 pm  

Well maybe since Hampshire is not a winger...

Probably because bjb is a winger
