Thought he deserves his own thread.

Best signing in years for me. I know there was some reservations when we signed him with him being 38. But age is just a number when you have the brain he has and has the ability to play in a dinner jacket. Completely ran the show today and he's running that team for us. He's a joy to watch at the moment.

I agree him and Lilley certainly seem to be firing on all cylinders!

The last couple of games him and Lilly have started to get some really good combinations going. They didn't seem to link up that well at the start of the season but they've improved game on game. Watching them today was a joy.

He's been a revelation so far this year. His kicking game, game management and creativity have been fantastic to watch. The real positive in my opinion is how well other players in the squad are playing with DB in the team. Lilley, Pickersgill and Brown have all been brilliant and have improved massively with Brough in the side.

He's certainly made an impact and rarely gets tackled with the ball. Lilley and Pickersgill have really improved with Brough in the side too.

Also Brough looks to be enjoying himself. He seems to be happy organising and encouraging the young players around him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as Bulls next coach when Kear decides to call it a day.

According to theT & A he has torn his bicep . Bit of a sickener is that .

I was looking forward to seeing where we were as a side against Feath. Its impossible to say how far we've narrowed the gap from that team that played in the cup. Sadly no Brough for that game and many more to come is an absolute ar5e.

sorry should have posted here really .... ar5e doesnt quite capsulate ... we have been coming on nicely and missing him on the field is certainly a blow, but that doesnt deter from the influence hes made off the field. whats that guys name ... oh yeah "matt awful" ... doing well that year then gets injured (just to get out of a 3 year contract cause really he didnt like the cold "fuk wit' then barged off).

jokes aside .. its not wot he offers on the pitch (which he seems to be loving) but the guy he is to the other players as a leader. all is not lost, and i dont think he'll scoot back to oz or mars this year. good to have a guy like him around, injured or not.


edited as my 'ar5e' with an 's' was homogenized into 'booty' lol

If we are to lose Danny Brough for 12-14 weeks, we could go with these options:

Option 1: Pickersgill/Lilley in the halves. Goulding or Brown at FB.
Option 2: Jowitt/Lilley in the halves. Pick at FB.
Option 3: Goulding/Lilley in the halves. Pick at FB.
Option 4: Bring somebody in on loan.
Option 5: See what Marc Herbert is up to...

Bit of a sickener that as Brough has been superb.

HOPEFULLY it is 12-14 weeks which means he should hopefully be back for the back end of the season. With us already racking up a decent number of wins, hopefully we should be able to get through this period without him and still be in the play-offs.

I'd personally go with Jowitt or Race. Jowitt didn't let anyone down when he played.

The problem with a loan is they can be recalled at any time. Whilst this isn't too much of a problem for props, wingers etc at HB they need time to form a partnership. Chopping and changing just unbalances the team

As long as we don't go with the ridiculous situation of Joe Brown playing a made up position again.

I wouldn’t mind a 28 day rolling loan for a Keyes (if he is fit) or a McLelland at Leeds who doesn’t seem near a playing shirt at Headingley (also hear George Williams needs a gig for the rest of the year, anyone up for joining bullssquadbooster.co.uk ?)

Well that just sums up the Bulls luck, losing that partnership is a big big blow. He has also been pretty deadly with the conversion accuracy, he surely must of been kicking at around 90% mark?

I would hope Kear has already been making enquiries about a loan replacement. Keyes would seem the obvious player to ask about given he would probably take the least amount of time to settle into our squad. I don't really follow SL so is he likely to be available?

McLelland would be a good shout. Haven’t Leeds just offered him and Gale to Cas in exchange for Trueman? If that’s true McLelland will be questioning his position at the club? Although I don’t like the idea of two young halves together he might be the most realistic?
