It's amazing that some folk six months ago were on here chastising finn because he was past his best and only offered a useful kicking game.... Yet folk are also making a case for signing a guy who'll be 3 6 before the next game, because he offers a kicking game.....
The argument that brough would get a team over the line in a tight game at the end is probably true more often than not.... But would he be good enough at 36 to get a team INTO those positions to pinch games?
I'm sure it would be a more positive move to sign Hampshire on a long term deal, invest in the lad and show some commitment to developing him into a class half back. Wakefield have already given him game time to work towards that.
Signing brough for me would be a panic signing, which is completely unnecessary on Wakefields part. In a 1 up 1 down scenario, Wakefield have absolutely no chance of going down. Long term it'd be far more worth while to coach the younger pivots that they already have.
Brough is a risk to the squad, the coach, and the club as a whole. I personally don't see Wakefield as a club who need to take that risk.
If London, HKR or Salford were to sign him, I could see the value in that.... But not Wakefield.
