Pros:
Pace to burn without a doubt, he gets daylight he will score imo.
Best kicking game in SL, long and short.
Proven big game player
Cons:
Possible attitude problem
Solo player?
Loss of Kirmond?
Team disruption?
As with all players that come to us he gets the benefit of the doubt, the club havent steered us wrong yet in these things where we have been dubious about a signing.
Wonder if he will go in against Saints?

| Quote: Durham Giant "Welcome aboard Danny Boy.
I am absolutely chuffed at this signing and feel more excited about it than any of our signing this year or last including Brett or fa alogo.
Danny brings the best kicking game of any player in SL to the Giants. Kicking in the modern game is probably the most important thing in a teams nal. Strong Australian type defences are much harder to break down and a good kicking game is what helps to unlock those defences. Danny does that.
But he is also quicker than our half backs and when he gets into his stride can easily go the length of the field. Added to his passing ability he really will add the extra spice that our attack has lacked in the last couple of years. additionally we now have 3 key pivots Brett, Brown and danny , in the team who all offer vision and skill and which will keep our opponents defence guessing. It will not be a case of clamp down on one player or kicker but they wil have to watch 3.
We will be a better attacking outfit with him in the team. defensively for a half back he is quite strong head and sholders above the like of Myler etc.
As for Robbo i genuinely think he will be playing in his best position at hooker. In concentrating on running at tired forwards at interchange his best asset will be emphasised.
Whilst some may question dannys attitude he is a spiky character but he wants to win . he reminds me off Bobbie Goulding , Lee Briers or even Roy Keane in that respect he wants to win. With Brett on the pitch to calm him down i am not concerned about this.
Whilst there have been off field problems he took his punishment re the drinking incident well ( unlike Scully) and as for financial difficulties his success on the pitch wil be his salvation and i am sure he will be a better person for coming through adversity.
If the club had any doubts about these issues they would not have signed him. Thewlis knows him well and Brown has shown his ability to manage difficult situations and discipline well.
Ken has paid the money to make sure he comes here.
I have no doubt about their judgement.
I have never felt so positive about the Giants as i have now, after this signing.
Welcome aboard Danny ![]()
Agree with everything you say there DG

well done huddersfield. Great signing for you. I have posted previous on our forum disgussing the signing of danny brough. I certainly think he will bring alot to your team. your defence is best in the league but your attack is only 4th best. Brough will bering that added spark you need in attack. He is the joint third on try assists and attacking kicks and also 3rd for kicks in general play. he is prone to the odd error with 11 so far this season. For me he will put your team in with a shout for the grand final this season. your deffo ones to watch

I think you have the pros correct. The lad has attitude but that for me is crucial in a halfbacks makeup. As far as iam aware he was never disruptive at Wakefield. The thing about Brough is he wont take a backwards step against absolutely anyone. I think he would be ideal playing 7 for England but keeps getting overlooked.

Its why my cons had "?" after them, since its speculation on my part.
I think he keeps getting overlooked for England cos he keeps wanting to play for Scotland, and fair play to him for that.

kirmond a class player, hope he isnt too unhappy with this move
team disruption could be a problem, rumour we tried to get rid of raleigh for him too
in nathan brown i trust though, looking forward to seeing brough in a giants shirt, we def needed to improve the kicking game so he will be the man to do it !

Could the fee be a deal struck to pay part of Kirkmond and Korki's wage without affecting our own wage bill. This would if we are in fact subsidising the 2 "loaned" players to Wakey take them off our wage bill and free up extra wages to bring in new players if needed. Just a thought as I don't believe transfer fees paid go towards the salary cap.

Surely any amount that Huddersfield are subsidising of Kirmond and Korkidis wages counts towards Huddersfields salary cap. Having already the largest squad by far in super league i don't think the could do this and stay within the cap.
Transfer fees do not count in the salary cap which may be why in this case Hudderafield have agreed to pay a fee. |

What i'm getting at is if we've agreed to finance part of the wages for the loan signings to wakey a so called "fee" has been agreed and paid for Brough just to cover the loan players salary's so in fact we've got Brough for nothing and paid a lump some to wakey to cover those players wages, it keep us well within the cap and maybe enable us to bring in someone else if needs be. Wakey benefit from having Korki next season and Kirky this season. A good deal for all concerned.
Hope you understand I'm confusing myself  |
