7741_1339451243.jpg When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

Many Bradford fans would agree with you. He's consistently been one of the best props in SL even playing in a poor Bulls side.

| Quote: wrencat1873 "I disagree about Brough.
He is one of the few halfbacks who can and will defend and he has a world class kicking game and an excellent rugby brain.
The one think that he's never had until recently, is the chance to play behind a quality pack.
IMO the reason that he never played top level international RL is because he spent so much of his career at unfashionable clubs ie Wakefield and Cas.
He may well have missed his chance, being 29, but the guy is a quality half back and much better than some of Englands recent choices.'" Brough looks good against poor teams and poor against good teams, but excuses are made when he looks poor against good teams, as you have just done, by blaming the pack. Brough will look good for the first 15 rounds or so, where the team he is playing for picks up a few wins against those above them who underperform, and they comfortably beat the teams below them. But he will fall away as the season progresses and the intensity rises.

So you think he's having a poor season ?
The point I was making is that he's starting to pull the strings at Hudds and both he is playing well and Hudds as a team look better when he is in the team.
We may never know as he is running out of time to have a chance at the highest level (mainly because he decided he was Scottish a few years back)

No, i dont think he is having a poor season, i think he will have a poor end to the season when the games get bigger and the opposition better. I think this because it is what he has done for his entire career. Brough looks decent at the moment, and did last season, before he and Hudds fell away without so much as a whimper.

Only time will tell (and if he actually gets a chance)
They have already played 3 teams out of the "Big 4" and won two of those, so he's doing ok, but equally, ant half back can only perform behind a strong pack.
Rangi Chase is a prime example at club level, no doubt he has some craft and excellent ball skills, but Cas wont win jus because he's in the team.
Equally, Warrington dont win just because they have Briers, again there is no doubt that he is a quality player.

| Smokey TA has decided he doesnt like Brough an no amount of actual evidence will prove otherwise, clearly he forgets Brought serious injury last season meant he missed the Exiles game and struggled to get his form back
Currently he is the best scrum half in the country, and has matured into that beyond all recognition from his former self at other clubs

What evidence?, lets look at the clubs he's played for throughout his career.. York, Wakefield, Hull, Castleford and now Huddersfield.
Yep, it's conclusive, he's the player all the top clubs want. I don't believe he's any different now to before he joined Huddersfield.

| I'm finding it quite heart warming to finally see some competition for the outside back positions given that a few years ago it was Old Mother Hubbard.

| So basically this topic is asking for peoples INDIVIDUAL possible selections based on form but when offered their view its shot down because there is 'no chance' that a said player will get in the team ???
Why bother asking then lol i wasnt saying George should be in the England squad ahead of Charnley or anyone else i was merely saying that if it WAS picked on form then he is IN EXCELLENT FORM and hypothetically would be in a FORM side !!!
In other words, pick a team that you think will be the nearest to the actual one picked rather than a team on CURRENT FORM
