Been spotted, having the grand tour of the HJ.....

I don't think we will sign Brough.

He's a decent player though, and he does win some games. But he's nowhere near as good as Briers was.

Also when these comparisons come up about how Briers was supposedly this smoking drinking trouble maker, how come he was never unfit when he played for us? He didn't get injured very often and I never saw him huffing and puffing towards the end of games? I know on internet forums there were always stories about his 'lifestyle' but there was never much of an indication on the pitch that he was an off-field waster. I wonder how much of it just lived in the imagination of supporters.

Fair comment MD.
Our kicking game has sucked from the kick off v Saints to the last dg attempt v Pies.
However that said, our type if game until this season hasn't been reliant upon a great kicking game.
Our game wasn't so dissimilar to Leeds and also how Cas played this season which is a running offload attack gaining field position and having the quality out wide to finish it off.

Unfortunately our injuries across the board have forced us to rely upon a better kicking game...that's where we've come unstuck!

I would like to see improvement in our kicking game, bring Johns over for another session perhaps?
Yet I wouldn't want to see a whole sale change of style by bringing in Brough just because our kicking game that we wasn't to reliant on in the past has let us down last season.

If we were to buy a no7 from a SL team, I would much rather hope to fix the injuries that cost us dearly over the close season and bring in a running half back like Burrow with a classic stand off style of Bridge £30 MD.

GOB is more of a stand off than scrum half type, so the jury is still out on him for a while IMO

This is the same Brough who likes to jump into dummy half on the last tackle, to stymie last tackle options?

Seriously? Since being a junior player he has played at the highest level and is an England international. The only thing that has held him back is various injury issues and he is far better than half decent!

Just ask Joel Monaghan about how good Bridge is.
