This is a real kick in the teeth for many early season ticket purchasers. Please, please MC come on and tell us it's just twitter talk!
The guy is right up their with the likes of Hock, Hardaker and Moore as genuine unlikable person on or off the pitch.
Sad sad day.

I think we have to agree that Brough is marmite. For every person that doesn't like him, you'll find one that does.
Personally, I still rate him over Finn, who we were all happy to see at the start of last season and when he's on his game, he is still better than what we have. The key will be whether Chester & co can keep him on his game often enough.

He's had major issues last season with on field discipline at Shudds and spent as much time watching from the stands as playing and no side wants that.

I think that John Kear once said that you cant have too many pivots and it's safe to say that we have plenty.

Have we ever had the positive side of a deal with Shudds? They take our guys on the up, we relieve them of ballast.

Kirmond, Raleigh, Wood x2, Grix, Huby were/have been all good signings for us from them.

Ha ha, brilliant. Signing Brough is going to sicken early season ticket buyers off!
The team is a lot stronger collectively as a group and quality to when Brough was here last time and also there's not a clash of personalities with Brad Drew.

Assuming it's right, it means that we've lost; Grix, Finn, & Baldwinson, but have gained Brough, Reynolds, King, & Kopczak.

I reckon that's an improvement

Pus MCB if you count from the start of last season.

Re: Brough is back : Sun Oct 28, 2018 9:11 pm  

so who are we going to sign next Lewis Hamilton,

I'm only a supporter of the club and its the club discretion who they think they should sign, I thought he had his chance but here goes this could be the start of a campaign to really ruffle some feathers

ps I would of loved Hock, Hardacre and don't forget Moore kept us in super league, shame we never saw the best of Newton all players with a bit of grunt which we have missed

you seriously need to get over this hatred of huddersfield not good for the health

Re: Brough is back : Sun Oct 28, 2018 9:28 pm  

Should this be true then I hope CC and MC have read the riot act to Broughie. Whilst I think the man has been the most "Complete" rugby league player over the last twelve or so years , and I've looked forward to the day when we saw him in a Trinity jersey once again, I just hope that the other players accept him. No matter whether you like the guy or not who can deny that his skills would be an asset to the club?

Re: Brough is back : Sun Oct 28, 2018 9:41 pm  

Not happy with this signing if true.

I’ll happily deny it. The bloke is way past his best and in my opinion offers less overall than we are losing by shipping Grix out and moving Hampshire out of the halves where he has been very good to fullback where he isn’t as good. And thats without his attitude problem.

Still all about opinions i guess.
