Biggest question is...do we need him. Answer is no, we dont. Why would we pay for him now? when he could sit on the sidelines at wakey and cost them money.
The benefit Wakey get is rid of a player that sees no future with them who wont really want to play until the last 3 or 4 rounds when his contract is up for grabs for free
the benefit the giants get is, er, not a lot. A trouble making player with a good kicking game...'"
Shouldn't have tapped him up illegally then should you?!!

He has not had a future with us for a while, we have offered numerous deals that he will not sign, was always likely to leave at the end of the year. That has not stopped us playing him, nor has it stopped him playing well!

It's a gamble for all parties. We would probably get the best out of Brough for the rest of the year because he would be in the shop window, and every good game potentially increases his value, and he could potentially change his mind. But if he's set on going, cash in.

The announcement on the Wakefield club website doesn't mention an illegal approach. Would you care to elaborate or kindly STFU?

Produce one single post where a Giants fan has said they will get Brough for nothing.

The rugby papers report Ted saying talks have taken place between the clubs and there is no apparent complaint from trin to the RFL. You are another wakey poster making up rubbish.

But Brough is out of contract at the end of the season at which point his marketable value is zero. So why do so many Wakefield fans think they are in a strong negotiating position. Either Danny Brough wants to join Huddersfield or he doesn't. If he doesn't it don't matter a tinker's cuss what we are willing to offer for him, he will turn us down. By this stage of his contract his agent will have been in touch with every club in Superleague getting a feel for what offers are out there. If Huddersfield are the best bet then we could sign him in 6 months time for diddly-squat. Wakefield therefore are stuck in the position of getting nothing in 6 months time or >nothing for him now. They haven't got a very strong starting position when it comes to negotiating. No doubt a fee will be involved but it won't be a massive one and will probably factor into it the value to Wakefield on the savings on Brough's remaining contract.

[No you dont need him atm, but by paying for him now "oops sorry you dont pay fees do you" it will save missing out on him at the end of the season when the big clubs start bidding with his agent]
The benefit Wakey get is rid of a player that sees no future with them who wont really want to play until the last 3 or 4 rounds when his contract is up for grabs for free
[The benefit Wakey now get is that they get rid of a player who no longer wants to play for then because he has had his head turned by by a man with too much money what wants to buy success]
the benefit the giants get is, er, not a lot. A trouble making player with a good kicking game...
[The benefit the giants get is, er better than anything you have ask Drew thats why he wanted to come back to you, he was just a makeweight when Danny played. As for a troublemaker he will be what you want him to be for the money uncle Ken will be paying him
