It may well be that this is nothing but idle speculation and people feeding others rumours and fears ( me included).

If so i am relieved as Brough is still our best player although only the second best i have seen after Brett Hodgson and just ahead of Brad Drew !!!!

What i would give to have those two back in Giants colours now !

From reading it, it is more the hateful and evil rumours that she wanted to put a stop to about their family lives - as opposed to a move to another team

agreed, thats what I thought.....we will have to see!

He's been the best and most consistent player we've had in the SL era. As captain he's second to none and leads the team by example and should be installed as soon as possible. Yes he does have quite a lot to say but going off some of the decisions we've had over the years by the refs then who can blame him as any of us who know rugby would do the same.

Hopefully these rumours will stop sooner rather than latter and it just concerns me how Giants fans can start such rumours when in the long run it will affect our team no end and make us a lot weaker. Once Brough is retired (hopefully still a Giant) from the game I'm hoping that we retain him as a coach as he's got a hell of a lot to offer with his experience, skill, reading of the game and his excellent kicking which should be retained and handed down to future Giants players.

I wasn't meaning to be disrespectful in any way. I rated Hodgson very highly, he was a class act, Felt much the same about Drew and DeVere, but all that said, IMHO Brough has had more influence on our performances than any of those three, There has been many a game where without him we wouldn't have scored a point. And how much effort has he saved the forwards with his boot.

If he has to go to Hull I wouldn't accept anything other than a deal that involved J Shaul, but then what say do we have. Another thing is People are talking about him as though he is going to fall apart in 18 months, What about J Peacock, and arguably the best forward in modern times S Menzies, Brough has some years in him yet.

Brough is contracted to the giants till the end of 2018.

Unfort contracts don't mean diddle squat today

In some circumstances that's true, but having the money saved from ferres and our vice captain Robinson- both on big contracts we have plenty left over after the brierley purchase. We don't need the cash so I don't see the incentive to sell you our best player.
Just because you want to buy him doesn't mean he's going, and the way he's playing for us ATM it doesn't look like he's looking to get out either.

With that length of contract, Even worst case, Mr Bank of Hull would have to come up with something a bit special you would think.
