How Brough can be in a boot for 2 weeks then line up to play is beyond me. Clearly wasn't fit and was an act of desperation in an important game in my eyes. 2-3 weeks off will hopefully allow him to get fit.

is gaskell worse than brough?

did everyone see brough have a go at gaskell if he dared even try do anything himself? your captain shouting like mad ... no wonder gaskell cant show any skill of his own.. but yes even so hes been disappointing.. leeming and roberts also got the hairdryer treatment from brough... how is this good for team morale which is evidently as low as its ever been at this club.

walne is totally garbage.

rankin very disappointing but again another who isnt allowed to play his game due to brough wanting everything to go through him!!! all me me me.

sick of the sight of him to be honest when hes ranting at our other players, the guy cant even pass a ball himself.. his kicking is decent and no questioning the commitment but hes dragging the rest down like his career is winding down... was hoping we would have a breath of fresh air for 2019 in the half backs but nope

Most fans on here seem to feel the same, so why doesn't Thorman drop him, and Stone before him, And if everyone on here and most of the terrace can see whats going on with him, Who the hell extended his contract.

All that said , there is a hell of a lot more than Brough to sort out, before you even start on the field.

Most of the players have done ok or better in the past, but that is in the past. We seriously lack pace, players look unfit and do not appear to believe in what they are being asked to do.
That is in my opinion a coaching issue, an issue that has not been rectified by moving from Stone to Thorman, albeit a glimpse of better times v Leeds. Hairdryer motivation has a short shelf life, particularly if you go public about it.
I think a genuinely new coach rather than a promotion is a must.

true... alot of us have said the club needs a clear out starting from the top... wont get rid of thewlis but at least we can get a new coach to try and inject some new life into the club , huge job whoever gets the job though... hopefully they can at least preserve our super league status like stone did for now
