| Quote: DILLIGAF "When I see a game that he gets wound up in and doesn't end up doing stupid and awful things, I'll think otherwise.
As it happens, every single time I've seen him get miffed (I can remember three incidents just this season, including a game against us), he ends up playing shockingly.
It would also be nice if his mouthing off to the referee got him a card occasionally. He gets away with that far too much ever since he got sent off for it at Huddersfield.'"
You haven't really answered my question though......why dont opposition players target him every week then if its that simple????

Something I have often wondered myself to be honest. I'm sure it's not really that simple. However the evidence I've seen, especially this year, seems to suggest otherwise. It seems glaringly obvious, so I can't get why other coaches don't at the very least try it.

Whether he's a gobsh*te or not, I couldn't comment, but he's an improvement on either of our current incumbents

Have you never watched him play? He's another out of the mould of Briers. Never stops mouthing off and moaning to the referee. Toys come out of the pram on a regular occasion.

| Many the best scrum halves have had some sort of personality disorder whether that is a just being a nasty piece of work or having some other problem. There's something about the position that lends itself to those who have something wrong in the head.
For example, off the top of my head the following were all either trouble on the field or off it or both:
Alex Murphy
Andy Gregory
Bobby Goulding
Gary Freeman
Andrew Johns
Allan Langer
Now I wouldn't put Brough in the company above but he shares the same "small man syndrome".

Most HB's are little gobes, they can't get about being little pipsqueeks, the position demands loud, obnoxious and cheeky players.
These types are usually the best because they are confident in their own ability and they hate it when things go wrong, they dont like to blame theirselves either, thats why they question everything.
However, a bit about Brough.

| While I accept halfbacks can be like that sometimes, I can't think of more than one player (that being Briers) in the entire league in the last 5 years, who has been as bad as Brough. With Brough I find myself shouting abuse at him even when I'm only watching him on the tv. Intolerable little sh*t who I'd love to see get laid out by one of the enforcer players to teach him a lesson.

Sinfield is worse than both of them in my books.

All that, if even true, does not stop him being a match winner for every club he has ever played for!!!

I'm not saying his gob is anything at all to do with his playing ability. Just that he has a gob and I really wish someone would shut it.
I will also add that there is no doubt when Brough is on form, he is an excellent player. I'm not questioning that.
Oh and I don't think Sean Long or Kevin Sinfield are half as bad as Brough. They are bad at times, I agree. But not on Brough or Briers' level. Gobbie Boulding may well be a more accurate comparison as far as the mouth goes.

I think that's the point. Brough is infuriating but he does the business most of the time. Shame he manages to fall out with clubs so often though.
I suspect Dilligaf's opinion about Brough was similar to that held by many non Bradford fans about James Lowes.
