Has Brough ever been dropped in his entire time at the club and if not what would he have to do get dropped

Wasn’t he dropped when he lost the captaincy?

Realistically though it's the Giants we're talking about here, more likely scenarios:

Symonds - he'll get fit and have a couple of decent games, get a 2 year deal deal of the back of it and then get injured.

Hinchliffe - New 2 year deal with Stone commenting "He's a well respected member of the squad"

Murphy - Similar scenario but a 3 year deal. "We're glad murph chose to end his career with the Giants, a hugely popular figure in the dressing room"

Wakeman - I think he'll 100% be going.

Brough - 1 year deal. "Important figure at the club who has still got it at 35 and great kicking game"

Mamo - I thought be would be going but after recent performances, no NRL could would have him. He'll end up in the NSW cup or get a 3 year deal here.

Ferguson - 3 year deal.

This is why the club don't need a marketing department, they can just copy and paste your comments, bang on.

Also, great news about Sam Wood signing up for the next few years, hope he gets some game time now!

You are right about Connor, it's sickening to see how well he is progressing at Hull, with his good hands and rugby brain he was always going to make a good half. He's not the quickest, but he has the x factor, especially near the oppositions line.

good news on sam wood, think he could be a good second rower for us

prob see him play centre tonight and never let us down.

we have lost jake connor, mullally and joe wardle in recent times... wasnt long ago we used to lose players and they werent much of a loss as they never went onto do anything but maybe we are losing a few now

cant keep them all though remember!!

Why not play Broughy at 9 it would give us a few more options and he would be fresher coming off the bench.I can see Hinchcliffe doing another season Jools but we will see.

he can defo play there but means displacing one of obrien and leeming

hinchy will head back home id say, one of the highest paid at club and we need that salary cap space

The way to improve a team is to replace good players with better players when they are available.If they are not available then you have to stick with what you've got.There appear to be less and less players in the market every year and more and more competion for those that are available(the likes of Toronto and Tolouse have contributed to the situation).Recruitment is becoming harder and harder and if a player is wanting to win medals and honours they are not going to come to us.I would be quite happy to lose one overseas player if that money was used to run a reserve team and develop the academy further,this is where the future of all clubs lie

I would honestly lose 2 overseas players myself.

If we lost Symonds and Wakeman this season, it wouldn't make a difference to our team really.
