No. I can remember Brown scoring off a Brough kick against Catalan for starters. He made two and scored one that night, Brough.

So in 8 games he has played we have scored from one of his kicks, whilst we have scored many from browns kicks. I know we have to give him time but thats 1/4 of the season whilst he has played for us, and we are getting worse.

I have just recalled one from the top of my head. Do not assume that is the only one.

When conducting a witch hunt you need to do your own research!

I have done, just not very well

but you must be able to see my point?

Scored 2 in a MOM performance IIRC.


How many repeat sets or forced errors have come from Brough's kicks that have ultimately led to tries? Mathers got absolutely nowhere near the high bomb when it was still scoreless against Warrington, yet they got lucky and we didn't capitalise on it. Indeed, we had an opportunity in attack and Brown's kick went out on the full.

Brough is a good player, but lacks consistency and we need to provide a strong platform in the forwards for him to work behind. If that can happen on a regular basis then I am sure Brough will perform more to his potential in every game.

He has played 7 games including CC



Possibly the most sensible thing you have said so far.



Utter garbage. We have played 5 SL and have won 3 whilst he has been on pitch.

We lost against Salford which includes the wholesale changes made by NB. We played wigan and it was 4-4 at HT then we go and blow it 2nd half.

Just to add we have lost Lunt, Fa'alago and Wild and Hodgo through injury. Our MOS, Fa'alogo our player of the season IMO and Wild who is a solid player and possible future England international Hollywood Lunty.

To blame one player is ridiculous. I think their are few things behind the scenes that have possible distracted the players in one way or another.

CG in sensible post shocker



Good post though, seriously. But you know reasoned argument is lost ok knee jerking idiocy.

still not 100% on the Broughy band wagon yet but in fairness to the lad i dont think we will see him at his best untill the back end of the season it takes time to build a relationship with a new half back partner Robbo and Browny took over 2 years to click wasnt untill just before Brown did his knee last year we started to see how good both could be, so i will reserve judgment till the end of the year on our mid season signing.

Exactly

Its not so much a Broughy Bandwaggon as a "stop being a knee jerking idiot" bandwaggon.

Remember what people like you did to Thorman?

He's only been here a few weeks. Look how long it took De Vere to play well. Even Hodgson B had a few games where he openly admitted he wasn't at his best. What was Fa'alago saying for the first few games? It's the same for most newcomers to any team - especially arriving after pre-season training.

Give it a rest and see what he's been like at the end of the season.

Fa'alogo was nothing special after the first few games...Then he got his cornrolls done.

Once Brough gets comfortable and the weight of expectation is no longer on his shoulders he will perform more consistent. We don't need 10/10 performances from him every week - we need regular 8/10 performances.

i dont think anyone can deny brough's undoubted talent.
i think what people are misunderstanding is that brough's signing may have disrupted the team, not any fault of the player who im sure will become an integral part of our team, it's just at the moment ( probably pure coincindence) we seem very disjointed in the last few games which we have seen brough replace robinson at 7. again i say, it's not a dig at the player himself,i will fully support danny brough while he wears the fartown colours

DANNY TICKLE SIGNED FOR NEXT SEASON

Not impressed. Average player. Never lived up to the potential he had when at Fax.

Plus if he does the kicking 5 minutes gametime lost while he lines them up Soooooo sloooooooowly

ONLY TIME WILL TELL,NOT YET ANNOUNCED BY CLUB

But it is clear that he is being scapegoated in some circles when it is clear that there are more obvious things which have disrupted the team. This thread could have more easily being retitled as Mid season coach changes or mid season player departures. Both of these i would argue are far more significant than Brough. If Brough has led to some changes in the team then so be it but the player you would have thought wouuld have been the most affected is Robbo yet he is the player who has performed the best since Brough came.

Get off Broughs back. Support all the players and lets hope the problems get sorted soon.

We were rightly dissappointed about Sunday's result but the anger should have passed now and it is time for reasoned and calm decisions to be made not looking for scapegoats which will only make things worse.

Wadski, are you saying that for Danny Brough to become a world beater, he needs to change his hair style? Would you like him to sport the shaved look, a change of hair colour or perhaps a bowl top like Ryan Bailey (Leeds Rhinos) currently has?

I was thinking more like the mutton chops that JJB uses to disguise his unusually shaped head.

thats my point though, im not on brough's back im just saying we dont seem to have kicked on since his arrival, which NB told us was the final part of the jigsaw.
if other people want to blame danny brough for our poor form lately then thats their perogative, i certainly aren't blaming danny brough

comments from Nathan Brown regarding Danny Brough

Very underated in defence. I have seen him pick up forwards and dump them on their backsides. Also king of the intercepts to go the full length. Brough is the best player in SL, I hope it doesnt work out for him in a Robbie Keane spurs pool spurs kind of way.

So what's the crack with Danny Boy? Does your coach not know how to handle his temperament? It come with the territory with Danny, NB must not have the man management skills that Kear has! That's the only explanation I can think off.

Its easy for us to blame brough for our bad perfromances, but with the stuff going on off the field can't really be helping the matter, and the fact that we have played in the last 4 games wigan twice and wire twice with bulls, saints and hull to come after, we aint had a team that we can easily beat in a while all these teams are above us, but after that we have 3 relatively must win games agenst kr, cas and celtic b4 we play leeds, so we just need to stick by the team and aim for the top 4, and hopefully go on another good run!!!

Why dont you ask the RFL if you can play the bottom teams every week, just to give you some sort of a sporting chance with the big clubs

It wasn't a problem last year when we had the poor Crusaders team three times..
