Are you telling me that warrington are the only club to have 'worst kept secrets'?

Brough was hardly low-key before it was officially announced!

Brough has moved mid-season. It's a different situation in that regard although clearly it's not been ideal either.

You've provided all the information for me to make the point I've made. You're not going to accept that point and that's up to you.

Suffice to say I don't share your opinion, I think that this signing being announced now is not a good thing just like it wasn't a good thing for Salford or Wakey it being common knowledge that Myler and Atkins were leaving. In the Hodgson case it has happened even earlier and you can argue all day that it's no big deal but I'm pretty certain if the boot were on the other foot you'd have a different opinion.

Well the boot is on the other foot in a sense. We now have mathers lost as to what he will be doing next year. Surely that causes just as much unrest in the camp as what you imagine might go on at hudds?

Which is exactly my point that you are arguing against. So you agree.

Wire were in exactly the same boat years ago when Iestyn Harris went off to Leeds, and more recently when Nick Fozzard signed for Saints.
