How? Do you know him?

Would Brough even want to come back to Hull?
Could two dominant half backs like Sneyd/Brough work together?
Then there's salary cap. Just can't see it happening if Giants go down.

Give up then..We won the cup 2 - thats just two games ago. We should now forget continuity. Forget that we've taken a while finding our best team and coaching staff should forget why they got to this selected best team with 3 to a max of 4 games left should start experimenting with the team. Okaaay then! Not for me

I just wonder why some fans wouldnt want one of the best half backs in Super League to come to Hull FC.
Many have the opinion that if you are over 30 you are finished.You only have to look at Ellis and Mini to see thats not the case.
Danny Brough is a class act ,still very fit,has pace and regularly makes breaks.
Oh and in case you forgot he has a great kicking game.
To say he would not work with Sneyd is nonsense.

Excellent post.

The only issue I have with Brough coming back is would his arrival be devisive to the squad unity? I'm not convinced he would fit in with the current squad and team ethos.

brough has been rubbish all year and he's in his mid 30's. if we could get him on a small salary he'd be worth it but we wouldn't. He'd want big bucks for his last pay day and someone will pay it. I'd expect him to end up at leeds or rovers, both need a half back and both have the spare cap

He could be here on decent pay, we have ways & means, plus he may get a coaching role out of it.

For me, Brough offers nothing that we don't already have from Sneyd, who's 8(?) years younger? 34 is pretty old for a back, and we've seen with Leon this year that age can take it's toll.

He wouldn't be cheap, he has a deal at the Giants until the end of 2018 I believe, as part of the big 5-year deal he signed. He wouldn't leave that to take a pay cut surely?

He's petulant and loses his head on the pitch, do we need characters like that around a club that has invested so much time into building the right ethos and attitude? When the going gets tough our lads it step up, when the going gets tough at Hudds, Brough loses his cool and his influence along with it.

All that said, it's my 10pence worth from sitting in the stands as a fan. If Radford & Motu feel he's the right man for us and sign him, I trust their judgement as they've got it pretty much bang on so far.

He's been gash all year and seems to be getting more petulant as he gets older. Not sure if it's been through frustation at the team or himself for not being able to pull stuff off like he used to.But he should of had 8 for snapping Caton brown's knee in the seasons worst cannon ball tackle and should of had same for deliberate elbow strike to logan tomkins face who was on his back on the floor
You can keep that e thanks

I feel the same way. Hes a great player but he is a loose cannon. Our team spirit just won us our first Wembley final. It'd be daft to throw that away.

Also, who would we get rid of to get him under the cap? We've been told we're maxed out and that Pearson won't pay off anymore contracts. Unless we have left some room for a late capture (which I wouldn't rule out) then we just can't have him without offloading a bunch of players on loans.

Radford,Ellis & co would be able to make him stay cool headed, if we could get him for free it would be good business.

We still have to pay the guy a salary



How could we fit him under the cap?

We either move people or he comes on a small salary with benefits, it's been done before. Hudds need to go down for it to start the ball rolling.

Benefits count on the cap too, which is what Salford got done for, and he isn't likely to move for less £ than his two remaining years at Hudds on what will be a decent contract.

That leaves moving people. Who and how? Paying players off would negate the point you were made about him being free. Send players out on loan? Again who, and would it create enough space?

no mini or frank for wakey feka and naughton in the squad www.hullfc.com/news/2016-09-13-r ... ield-visit useless fecker campbell the ref too!

Sometimes players come available for whatever reason, When a club wants that player they make it happen one way or another, we nearly had him 2 years ago but his age made AP not cough up what Davy wanted, like I say it's only a small chance, hudds will have to be relegated & the club will have to juggle some players/finances, but it's a long shot but speak to Radders & co & he's a player he's wanted for a while, he has a good relationship with Broughy & he could manage him. We could probably not sign yeamo & lose a player or 2 & it's as easy as that.

So does Radford have confidence in Carlos or not? If he's interested in signing Brough, then he can't be completely confident that he is the right man for the job, despite publicly stating he thought he was.

Of course he's confident otherwise he would be signing a 6, he wouldn't jeopardise his own job in any way.

So which one of Sneyd or Brough would play on their favoured side of the field? Two into one doesn't go and for me we stay well clear of Broughie.

I thought our recruitment was done ? Why all this talk of signing a standoff ?

I mean confident in Carlos as a 6, not in his own position. He said Carlos was the man for it, why then do we need Brough?

I still believe the club will sign an established 6 for next season and as pointed out if the right player becomes available the club will find a way.

Of course he is otherwise why would he have him lined up for the position next season, Brough would be a cracking addition to our 2017 squad, it's very unlikely to happen as I've said hudds need to go down for it even to materialise, to many make a mountain out of a mole hill on here, Brough would bring CT, JA & JW on with his experience, as he will end up coaching.

I also believe they will, I just hope it's not Brough.
