He played in a very successfull team because he was the key to it all . Brough finished up at Huddersfield because no one else wanted him and managed to win a league leaders shield that meant jack all , unless of course you have won nothing more than a raffle for donkeys years .

you may want to consider that that Leeds would not have been as successful without Sir Kev driving the team, i remember the collective shudder when he went down against Warrington in the grand final, but he got up and was instrumental in Leeds winning a 6th grand final, great player great captain and ambassador for the game

Right now, this minute in time. Not 3, 5 or 10 years ago.

Who is better..... Danny Brough or Kevin Sinfield?

One or the other, not who's won what or played for who?

Quit your foot stamping, it's embarrassing.

Your small town, small time club syndrome's really coming to the fore here but if we say Danny Brough's in better form than a 35 year old, who's played more games and won more trophies than any other player in the world in the last 10 years and is on the brink of retirement will you be happy and go away?

Simple question.

Who is the better player?

I'd rather have Sean O'Loughlin in my team at the weekend than Wally Lewis. Doesn't make him a better player if you compare the two at their peak.

Would you rather have 2010 Sinfield or 2015 Brough leading your side?

You're asking the wrong question, because it's absolutely beyond dispute that Kevin Sinfield is the better player. He's evidentially and demonstrably superior to Danny Brough. Does he have a bigger impact on a game these days, sometimes yes, sometimes no, but a better player will always be a better player. If a league game were to be played tomorrow and I had to pick between them I'd probably pick Brough. If a final were to be played tomorrow I'd pick Sinfield over him in a heartbeat without a fraction of a second of consideration. That's why he's better, because only a mad man would opt for Danny Brough in that scenario.

BIG JIM SLADE take a bow

The award winning post of the year in my opinion

Except its wrong
hth

Based on what precisely?

Except the question posed was which HB would you trust to come up trumps. Not which all time great, acknowledged by a number elsewhere on here to be past his prime & responsible for a number of poor performances himslef over the last couple of seasons. If I wanted a HB to come up with a piece of magic now it would be Brough or Brown. If I wanted a player, not necessarily a HB, to control a game over 80 minutes it would still be Sinfield.

Kevin Sinfield obviously and it's not even close. Do keep up.

its not a difficult question.

Who is the better player, here, today, right now this minute. If both were to take the field against each other as either SO or SH right now, who is the best player?

Simple question.

Love Hudds fans desperately stomping their feet like children.....

"Whose the best player?"

"Whose the better HB?"

"Whose the better HB right this very exact minute?"

"Whose the best HB in SL right now whose surname is Brough?"

"whaaa whaaa whaaa please say Danny because we don't actually have any recent trophies to cling to"

i think he thought we may have missed the adding of "right now"

Simple answer, in a knockout game, where it really matters, (i.e. Saturday coming) Kevin Sinfield. Just watch, it'll all become clear.

It's not right at this minute, but it's really really soon.

Hope it's ok to add my bit on this one.
As a Salford fan over the last few seasons I've seen my team dirty Salford target Sinfield and he's come out on top every time.
Over the same period I've seen my team dirty Salford target Brough and the only time he's influenced the game was on Friday when up against a twenty year old scrum half and a prop playing stand off.
So for me it's Sinfield.

Well thanks for the bites. I'll leave you all alone.

By the way we won't see the 2 go head to head on Saturday. I'm afraid McDermott would have to admit he's made a mistake and we all know that won't happen.

All the best, see you Saturday.

brough is a flat track bully who will tear sides apart with ease if he's given the freedom of playing in a dinner suit

sadly he has had little opportunity of proving his undoubted talent in showcase finals or test matches to warrant conversations like this and be compared to players like sir kev

brough will rightly be remembered as a very talented player and one who should have played for one of the top sides that have regularly delivered success,but sadly for him is that his disruptive influence have made the top clubs stay well clear,this says all you need to know about him sadly

Why do you care so much?

In the cup game, it will only matter who is the better team. I can promise you that if one side's forwards get well on top, it will be their half back that has the greater influence on the match. Regardless of who Leeds pick there.

So who?

Me. I am the greatest living halfback in all of Rugby Leaguedom.

i thought you,d left, did you read the Salford fans post? interesting unbiased view

Back to my original point, we clearly haven't learned as it was no different at Widnes! gave their halves all the time to throw the ball about,set up plays and end of set kicks, brown had a field day!
