Eleven Super League coaches, a big percentage of Wakey fans, Garry Schofield, etc., think Danny Brough should not be one of them, therefore, next game back you can bet he gets another chance.

I’d heard Schofield talking about brough and his short comings ,same as I’d heard Tony Rea talking up brough as possible GB call up.
Not heard of the eleven super league coaches having a dig as well ,
Tactics to unsettle an already fragile camp Springs to mind if correct .

Well for me Danny Brough isn't the reason we're in the mire. He's the only one in the team who seems to have an attacking idea in his head.
Others in the team need to have a long hard look at themselves.
The 'defence' is non existent and not rocket science to sort. That's an absolute priority, to state the obvious;
I say that despite the old adage of 'attack is the best form of defence'. If we rely on that we're well and truly stuffed!!!

Totally agree that Broughy is not the root of the problem.Some people have been willing him to fail(rather perversely) and now heap all the blame on him. If anything he is trying too hard. He is such a competitor that ‘slacking, not caring ‘ etc is just not in his nature. I would play Brough and Hampshire.

I see absolutely no logic in playing Brough with Hampshire. If the halfbacks need changing then at least change it for a combo that has some track record ie Miller and Hampshire. This is not anti-Brough but common sense. A bit late in the day for a totally un-tested partnership IMHO.

In my opinion Miller is the most underperforming of the trio. Thus Brough and Hampshire for me.Brough directing and Hampshire with a more free role, running at defences.

A while back I was posting saying how glad I was that we had signed broughy and thought that he had improved our team.Unfortunately that all changed when he got injured.Since he came back he has been generally pretty poor.He now looks to be really showing his age and it saddens me to see him trying so hard, but not being able to do it anymore.Perhaps he might get some of it back,but at the moment I don't think he should be anywhere near the first team.
