Quote: FLYINGPROP "Not sure what people have been watching but how many good games has Brough had this year? Leeds he was class but before that can't really say he has been playing as the highest earner on the team should, he bollox the youngsters and not in a encouraging way but then makes a cock up himself and seems like he is untouchable, he is 34 now and in the past has been a great player but he is struggling now and spends more time in stand than playing. With a sensible head on and been honest to ourselves its time to get shut, free up some cap space along with the Brierley money and build a team around team players not 1 individual that wants to do it all, facts are Ellis was great at Cas, came to Giants and couldnt have same impact alongside Brough but running things at Hull KR, same with Brierley was stifled at Giants, if someone offered to swap Brough with George Williams I would snap their hand off!!!! Prob 5-6 of the experienced lads I would keep and rest haven't done enough'"
Get real. George Williams is one of the best young prospects in the game who any side would buy if they could but why would Wigan sell. There a very few decent halves around that would be available to buy and certain none as good as Brough is even at this stage of his career. Without Brough i fear relegation would become a reality.
As for Ellis he is playing in a dominant team in a lower league so is bound to look good. He was not great at Cas he was used as a interchange hooker playing limited minutes and neither was he great at the Giants. He is a solid player but certainly not good enough to move the club forward.
