| why does anyone have to go? robbo can still do a job for us, although he isn't as sharp as he was, he is still a good player to have around

As a coach !
The fans and the club have to stop being sentimental. If we are to move on it needs to be done now whilst we are in a decent position.
If we lose Brough next year we are in the 8s and then the million pound game.
Then welcome to oblivion.

| You can't simply get rid of a player who is under contract. And to suggest if Brough is injured we would end up in the million pound game is utter rubbish.

That is why i said Make him a COACH for his final year.
Where do you think we would be without Brough then ?
3rd, 5th, 10th,.
Saints Leeds Wigan all look as strong as last year
Hull Wire Catalans look stronger
we are marginally better as long as Hinchcliffe and Rapira dont turn out to be Faalogo and O,Donnell

| l would have Robbo , Grix ,Wood, and Simpson all out on loan,
Robbo, looks a shadow of his former self, been great had a lot of hits, time to go, Halifax recruiting for next year, hometown club, see out his contract, space on cap.
Grix, lv,e been a fan of Grix, all the time he,s been here. but not getting better, if we are to move on, one to go, we really need a top FB. Again loan see out his contract, like Robbo maybe hometown club Halifax.
Wood, like other posters think he,s good cover for the halves, loan/recall deal.
Simpson, l think he would really benefit from regular gametime, loan to championship club for a year, maybe a club like Sheffield, going full time.
We would create plenty of cap space to buy in, this Hampshire lad fits the bill, believe he,s a wakey lad probably like to come back to the right side of the hill, or one from NRL, not a choice l like but beggers carn,t be choosers, and we have quota space.
lmprovements have to be made or we stand still, Hinchcliffe, is a plus, but Rapira is just one prop for another, with Koppy going.

| Warrington will be stronger but not really convinced either Catalans or Hull are much better next year.
You cannot loan a player like Robinson or Grix to Halifax as they would not be able to afford their wages.

Is our attack based 90% on five runs and then kicks by Brough ? ( or when defensively 3 runs and a long kick to get out of our area)
With Brough out who will kick ?
Without a kicking game what have we got ?
Do you see Ellis as the main replacement ( His kicking is average he is a support kicker) ?
What pace have we got in the backs and halves ?
How good is our passing to be able to play a different type of game ?
Now tell me where we would be without Brough. ?
We will be strong defensively but i do not see us scoring many points.
How many fans would be turning up week in week out watching us .
I think there is a strong case to say that Brough ATM is as important to us as Ken.

This is the recruitment so far for Wire Catalans and Hull. They all look better than they did IMHO.
The only thing that helps is that both Hull and Catalans have poor coaches.
Hull. Scott Taylor (Salford Red Devils), Frank Pritchard (Canterbury Bulldogs), Carlos Tuimavave (Newcastle Knights), Mahe Fonua (Melbourne Storm), Sika Manu (Penrith Panthers), Danny Washbrook (Wakefield Wildcats)
Pritchard is class IMHO.
Wire Kurt Gidley (Newcastle Knights), Tom Lineham (Hull FC), , Jack Hughes (Huddersfield Giants), Mitchell Dodds (Brisbane Broncos).
Catalan Pat Richards (West Tigers), Richie Myler (Warrington Wolves), Dave Taylor (Gold Coast Titans), Paul Aiton (Leeds Rhinos), Justin Horo (Manly Sea Eagles), Jodie Broughton (Huddersfield Giants), Glenn Stewart (South Sydney Rabbitohs).
The pace that Catalan have all over the field is frightening.
I think SL will be more competitive this year than last.
Wigan will be better as they have a lot of young players who will be more experienced.
We on the other hand will be a bit older and slower. Brough, Grix and Robbo have lost some pace which wont be coming back.

| we have a poor coach according to some doom mongers on here and on the facebook groups!
not sure how you can say what will happen next year either, some teams might gel others might fail, some players might not live up to expectations, others might flourish.
every team has the same chance as the others, let's just wait and see what happens? some people were predicting that we would be relegated with PA in charge

| Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"only he does not want to sit in the shadow of sam tomkins and george willams. He can either play full back or stand off. He will get no game time at Wigan.
Someone should buy him.
A swap for Patrick
'" Would Wigan want Patrick?
