Official Danny Brough Signs

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.
