No he wasn't, IMHO.
Kev is a centre, nothing more, nothing less.
And I've used the example of all the oldies favourite, Wally Gibson, previously. Absolutely outstanding at FB. Looked every inch as though he would be a classy SO. He was awful. It was as though his brain couldn't interpret the situations quick enough whereas at FB he had that extra second or two to suss things out.

| Spot on again Ivor as usual, not gonna start saying Brown was great for us just cos he is leaving.
Lets not forget the passes chucked straight into touch, the kicks which were always more in hope than anticipation.
Lets also not forget this isn't Brown's fault he has been asked to play positions he isn't upto, remember a certain Chris Thorman.
Brown is a decent Centre and if he had played there I think we would have for the best we could out of him.
He never was a 6 (too slow upstairs and down, pace off the mark) or a 13, so let's not blame the lad but let's not say he was something he wasn't either.
He leaves with my best wishes and Good Luck to him but definitely the right call.

| So just how firm is this rumour that KB is also on his way? I can appreciate that he would be stripped of the captaincy, as that makes sense, but I would have thought that Anderson would want to use him for the remaining games.
OK the view could be taken that his heart wasn't in it, or maybe he was thought to be at the centre of the so called "player power".
Nothing breaking so far at this end, other than feeding on what is on here, which doesn't mean it wont break. Rather strange story that he could go to Hull for the remainder of the season, which would seem to be as far away from where he supposedly wants to be as possible!

KBs performances have been rank all year. He brings us nothing.
As for being the centre of player power KB was NBs pet.

So are you saying that he has definitely been released/loaned out, or does nobody actually know?

| Let's get this into perspective, Kevin Brown has had a shocking season (at Loose Forward).
At stand off for the last few years he has been one of giants best players. He is a better stand off than centre.
His problem through all his career has been confidence. In the big games he has let himself down both for Wigan and Giants. His confidence at the moment is rock bottom just as it was when he left Wigan.
But to suddenly label him as a centre at best is very shallow. He's made a good contribution but it's time to move on. Same with Nathan Brown. All this hysteria about both Browns is getting a bit silly.
Let's look forward to the future not dwell on the past.
With two wins (Wakey and Sts) Giants are back in the mix. For me finishing 5 or 6 is better than 3 or 4 (easy first game then away to a side that has just been spanked by Wigan or Warrington).
Time to get positive and get behind Anderson.

| Losing the captaincy makes sense and should probably have happened sooner in the best interests of both the Club and the player. OK there are awkward bits about that like the captains weekly column in the local paper, but I would have thought KB would have been a bit embarrassed about continuing to do that when his future lay elsewhere.
You never know the clearing of the air may help him get a bit of form back for you!

| A good player ,but not a good captain. Seemed to lose his confidence after failing to be picked for England last year. Think if he has lost captains job his only real option is to leave the club as stopping on would be embarresing for him. Thanks for the god times Kevin and best of luck whatever happens.

| captaincy taken off him, well it was becoming a burden so thats good
but now poss out for the season !! not so good he has had this ankle injury all season really, missed early part of the season too
still a top player in my book and been a great servant for the giants if this is the last we have seen of him.

| So the injury story is to prevent him going to a rival now then. He is NOT injured.
He gets paid for the rest of the season and goes to widnes next year as planned.
