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?

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.

Thank you, as we know some clubs sign world class/players from across the globe they never thought they would, it's because of either they're bad lads (carney) should I have said carneys, Monaghan, things happen in sport that clubs can't resist to purchase, exploit & benefit.

Ok, It's only my opinion. You seem to have the inside line on this, so we'll see, and after this year, I suppose we need to put our trust in Radford and Motu.

I know it is pal, it's a long shot for it to happen, they have done well but can make mistakes.

Based on what they've built up to and delivered this year, it's not a big ask.

Signing Brough would kill Sneyd imo - Sneyd has thrived being the main man, Brough wouldnt work with him well, Blake Green or someone like him would be much better again imo

As we've seen time and time again, no-one is able to control players in the heat of the moment, his attitude has always been there and it always will be, thinking you can just change someone on a whim is just utter nonsnese. If you think signing an over the hill HB whose best aspect is kicking which we already have in droves whom is more than likely to get sin-binned regularly due to his many rants then that's a pants call.

You could write on the back of a stamp what you know about rugby & still have room for my bestie to sign it, let's leave the calls to the men in charge eh bumpy? After all if anyone would have listened to you we would have had PG still in charge with youngquest on the wing. "Radford out....standing"

Seven yellows and a couple of reds in ten seasons. Not great but hardly regular.
