On medical grounds. Cracking player in his prime.

Best "all round" player in the Super League era imho. Privileged to see him in the Trinity jersey . I just wish he'd spent more time here during his formative years rather than Huddersfield. "A great bit of business", it was claimed at the time when we replaced him with Paul Cooke. Thanks for the experience Broughie!!!

He left us ,we went backwards, Huddersfield went upwards .One of the best scrum halfs I have seen at Wakefield .One of the few you could call a match winner

March 2019 at headingley epitomises everything that Danny stood for , when he races in for his try in front of the Wakefield faithful, I’ll never forget that look Of euphoria on his face and what it meant to him to score for his club. A star of the game which the likes of don’t come around too often , thanks for the memories Danny

Well I think we all know that Brough moving to Hudds was pretty much out of our hands.

Other than that the best player Trinity have produced in the SL era. Ellis and Westwood were exceptional and TJ is a total entertainer but when it comes down to playing the game Brough was the best. His ability to read the game was exceptional and had he not suffered occasional lapses of concentration both on and off the field he’d have spent 10 years in the England jersey.

The only thing that ever held Brough back was Brough.

Wish he'd had chance to play against the big guns in internationals.
I think he'd have been at home there.

He had the best all round kicking game I’d ever seen, not to his fanatic passing game and excellent defence. Should of been a regular England international.

I tend to agree but who knows for sure. People said he was too temperamental but I don't hold with that. When you're permanently the underdog then at that level emotion and the nerve to do something different can change a game.

Think he got ask to play for England but had been left out by the England coach so many times he told them to stuf it and played for Scotland. The same kind of thing that happens to Bries at Wires .By far the best but if your face does not fit you got no chance

It's not just your face, it's your club.
