I would also add that I have been disapointed in Falloon, a hooker should be an organisor as well and dictate where the play moves and often when the time is right to send in a forward or get the ball outwide. When we needed a drop goal he sent play away from the sticks on the 4th tackle meaning we couldnt go for it and then decided to throw a hospital pass instead of trying to force a repeat set.
Maybe all tthat coke has eroded his brain cells so he cant count to 6 anymore!

Glanville (who was superb for the Cowboys) did the same in golden point extra time in Brisbane on Friday. In that game Morgan shot the ball to Feldt who scores in the corner except the referees give a harsh/incorrect forward pass call. Similar hooker brain fades on the last with Burrow/Thurston setting for the drop. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

So getting back to the original thread.

Is there any substance to the Brough rumour. Personally I think having a quality player creating competition for places can only be a good thing.

Also I do reckon people saying Leeds would not want a certain Jamie peacock as he was Bull scum. Now I struggle to see who was the most popular Sinny or JP

funny that

be interesting to see the dynamics between brough, maguire and of course ferris - Handbags at dawn methinks

Nope. No chance of us signing him. Isn't happening.

I can see it now, chants on the Southstand going from 'DAAAAANY BROUGH..IS A W@n*£R... IS A W@n*£R!! " to "DANNY BROUGH IS F'ING BRILLIANT!!!!"


Not for me though, hope its just rumours.

Not sure he would be a natural fit, however depends who else they may be able to get and when. He would certainly provide a lot more ability to get ball wide and help unleash the back line and his kicking game would make a huge difference. He would take pressure of some others who appear to be overplaying. To paraphrase Eddie waring " he'd attract a lot of attention"

Prominent brow like that, and people question that there isn't a bit of Neanderthal gene still floating around?

Ill support anyone in a Leeds shirt and 99.99% of fans are the same ( if were being honest Batemans 'dirty tactics' would become 'gamesmanship' if we signed him)
But I still think Brough would be an unneccesary signing, with his attitude even being potentially harmful

according to luke robinson on radio hes in talks with us, might be a smokescreen who knows?

Maybe he's looking for a short term gig who knows.

Like for like replacement for Sinfields equally strange brow 'growth'... Neanderthal genes, or some other reason for bizarre bone growth... I wonder....

As for signing him - as others have said, he would be a good short term fix, offering a number of things we're missing... His attitude stinks at times though - but is that just passion and will to win... I'm of the opinion it's a bit of that, but he's also just not a very endearing character....

HGH!

I met Brough once, seemed a nice genuine bloke. On the pitch though there's few players I dislike more.

That's only half the problem with signing him, he's 35 now and would be the shortest of short term fixes, might as well wait a few week and persuade Kev to come back.

brough is 33 now

and has two more years on his contract
