A long kicking game.

I really don't see the point in listing Brough's strengths. I don't think it would alter Eaton's opinion anyway. Some people need to have their hate figures, that's just the way it is, but I'm sure Brough will take more notice of an opinion of someone like Nathan Brown.

Like it or not, he's our player and he's come in to our team mid-season which isn't easy. He's done some daft things but he's also done some very good things and he'll be a better player for us next year after a full pre-season and so on.

I really only think Brough has had two bad games for us Salford and Castelford.
To me his only real weakness is he can kick the odd ball out on the full. This is frustrating but it is because he is trying to make things happen by going for difficult options which when they work are superb bits of skill.

You wanted a list of Brough's strenghts. From what i have seen of him at the Giants.

Long kicking game
last tackle bomb's which have led to several tries
pace off the mark from dummy half
quality long flat passes such as the ne that put Lawrence in space at leeds
ability to read the oppositions attack leading to him intercepting passes.
rock solid wide defence (which i have to admit has surprised me as i thought this may be a weakness)

i thought brough was outstanding at leeds, we seemed to go off our game when he went off, i also think he will/is a asset to the team took him a while to settle in but now seems to be coming to the fore, i think next season with a full pre season behind him the doubters may look elsewhere for their scapegoat.

Broughy is a great player.

250K a year?? Seems expensive

who says it is 250k a year only the press certainly not the club.

I know, if it is 250K though his agent has played a blinder

I reckon that's being referred to in this part:

“Sadly some reporting on the matter over the past few days has been totally incorrect yet I understand where such rumours start from, why and the rationale for doing it - which is not something that this club condones but we have to accept its part and parcel of the game and goes with the territory when you sign a player that probably every club in the game would be delighted to have on its roster.”

Good signing, maybe a little long on the contract front but none the less a tough forward added to an already impressive pack

Excellent signing but like I am surprised at a 4 year deal. Another great signing by RT & NB. Well done!

If it's not going well with him we'll likely end up doing what we did with Elford. ie. negotiate an early release.

Very possible.

Boots & All did a brief announcement that he signed but highlighted he is the most suspended NRL player and sat out so many games etc

just what we need, a bit of biff! You know its bad when Andy Raleigh becomes your best fighter!
