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!

Brown announced by examiner as injured and probably out for the season !

That ends the debate then.

Who will be number six on Sunday. I pray it's not Moore

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.

He is injured and has been all season and i would suspect he is in need of an operation.
It makes sense for this to heppen now as Anderson will want to start planning for next season and as Brown is not here he will be better off looking at other options in the team.

If he is not injured then why invent the story? Is he a player who 'does not do as he is told consistently'? If we are not going to play him, I see no reason not to release him to Widnes.

The story has been invented for all to save face. Widnes aren't able to take him yet but hull are desperate given their injuries - it doesn't make sense to release him to strengthen another side rivalling us for playoffs (again!)

Hull are interested? Seriously? I cannot see it. No disrespect to Kevin but his current form is pretty terrible.

Hull are apparently signing everyone though.

Hull have 15 players out injured- many long term-

Which is why we need to sign everyone Code.

You can sign all our long term injured players if you want

Glad he's been stripped of the captaincy and hopefully won't play again for us. He's been a very good servant for us but for whatever reason only played half heartedly since signing for widnes. He's not given 100% and been a passenger in games. He's not captain material (never has been) and when the team needs a lift and a talking to Brown goes hiding. All in all it's a massive call but the right call from Anderson to strip him of the captaincy and allegedly drop him for the rest of the season. Think our season could turn the much needed corner as like when he was a player it looks like PA is going to take no rubbish off anyone. Something we've been missing for quite a while.

spot on
