for once cripes i do actually agree with you regarding kev brown i too think he should have gone some time since

Maybe his form has been lost playing on a injured ankle.Now requires an operation to rectify it, and he has been a great servant to Huddersfield over the years.Will do well at Widnes and i can not believe people putting him down.

yes you could be right off the cuff, his ankle has certainly not helped and upto mid way this season i would have been sorry to see him go, but he does appear to have lost focus since he became a father, hopefully he will regain that next year with widnes, overall he has done a good job for us over the years, but now is definately the time for him to go.

How many times have you watched him play this year?

Not sure his ankle made him a useless captain. Nor did it cause him to repeatedly throw poor passes.

Watch the semi versus the Wolves and marvel at his defence: the feeble attempt at a tackle on Atkins when he scored or the way he ran out of position to present Hodgson with a 'walk in' try.

Showed a total lack of resolve this year, soft.

Uncertain whether your playing surface will suit his creaking recurring ankle problem. His motivation in joining widnes was money (and apparently the need to live nearer to wigan !) - no mention of rugby reasons.

Feel sorry for Widnes fans, for the money you need a game breaker.

Not totally fair imo. I remember at Belle Vue & Odsal this season KB defended like a scrapyard guard dog. Tough as nails. But it all went to pieces later on I agree.

Oh dear lil offthecuff is having a hissy fit. Try pointing out what you allege is rubbish.

How many times have you seen brown play? Come on, tell us.

You have no idea. Typical drone spouting about a player he has hardly seen. Come on explain how his defensive effort against the wolves was acceptable...

I have seen him miss 3/4 tackles per game, chicken out from taking the line on and pass into touch/behind the player many times.

Many players commute from wigan to west yorkshire and vice versa without softc*ck bellyaching. KB is not one of them.

To blow close on 10% of your salary cap on a guy in decline is....baffling....enjoy

When I point out Kb's deficiencies you say rubbish but have hardly seen him play. You cannot muster one reasoned argument. Instead when asked about brown you resort to prattling on about ah van and cross

I have seen all but one of KBs games this year. I have miseed only 3 Giants games in 4 years. so I have seen KB play.

Having watched him it is clear his captaincy has been a joke, he chickens out from taking on the line, he misses too many tackles, goes awol in the defensive line (see the Hodgson try vs wolves) and his pass accuracy and selection have deteriorated and he is crocked. If you do not agree with these points provide something more than your witless blind faith or your ah van / cross stories

Think you are being a tad harsh on KB. I agree not captain material and was a mistake appointment for that role IMO. He also has had some terrible games defensively in recent weeks - but up until the kr away game he had been playing well- including in defence- could be a coincidence but that game was where he picked up his injury- it was also notable that until he left the field the giants were in front and it looked like a certain win.
I also think that in recent weeks he has been getting a lot of stick from the fans- why would he bother playing through pain if some of the fans are against him.
Perhaps he did give up once he knew his future lay elsewhere- but until he's back and fit I don't think we can comment on whether he really has lost his ability. Having his wife not nagging at him about moving back home might do him and his game the world of good!!
He wasn't working for us- but he could well do a job at widnes- let's wait and see - before words have to be eaten!

Here Cripes goes again with his dumb comments.

Kevin has been a fabulous player for us over the years he has been at the club.

NB recognised he was not a stand off which is why he signed Carney however KB has done his best ever since and guided us to Wembley with a great display against Saints in the semi final in 2009, as wella s play off win at Warrington.

Had KB been at centre for the last 3 years or he had a decent pack in front of him this year e might have stayed longer !!!!
