Don't believe this for one minute. If he's been injured all season then brown would surely have dropped him. He's not been performing on the pitch and hasn't been the captain and leader we've been crying out for throughout this poor spell. If NB played an injured player all season when we've had a realistic chance of winning something then he's a very poor coach. He's put his reputation on the line just to play the captain now we're out of the cup and have no real chance of winning the minor premier we drop K Brown because of his injury and N Brown is released early from his contract!!!

Well going on what you are saying we've been playing an injured captain who has helped massively to us having this remarkable slump and because we've a new coach in place we're dropping him so he can get fit for Widnes next season and Anderson can start building his own team. The truth is he's under performed this season, Anderson has seen this but N Brown hasn't for some reason. For the better of the club and team K Brown is dropped and we're masking it over as an injury that will see him miss the remainder of the season!!!!

He hurt his ankle at the start of the season and has been playing with it heavily strapped ever since.
It may be the sort of injury that wont get any worse but is unlikely to go away without rest or an opeartion.

As for playing injured players all teams do it. You only have to look at the amount of players who wait until the end of the season before they have an opeartion.

If Kevin Brown has been playing through the pain barrier it kind of makes a mockery of all the comments saying he has not been trying for the last few weeks.

But he's the captain and an alleged pivotal player for us. If he's not 100% then he's being carried by the rest of the players and makes this mid season slump all the more scandalous and poor coaching from N Brown. Can't see us putting our entire season on the line for 1 player who can easily be replaced going off his form throughout this entire season!!!

Eorl has been playing with an injury all season too- are you suggesting we drop him?

Its pretty unusual for most rugby players not to be playing without some form of injury. These then develop into issues that need surgery otherwise they lead to long term problems if not treated.

Very convenient - I agree its for all to save face - 'gardening leave' I reckon.

Half decent player, hopeless leader of men.

Should never have been a captain its about time he has been relieved of his duties as his performances have been woeful for long enough - if you don't want to play for us you'd best leave.

Looks like he is injured and dropped! www.superleague.co.uk/article/25 ... iants-exit? Brown nears Giants exit 19th July 2012 Huddersfield captain Kevin Brown has almost certainly played his last game for the Giants. The former Wigan Warriors stand-off, who is to join Widnes Vikings from 2013, has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats with an ankle injury and does not figure in new coach Paul Anderson’s plans for the rest of this season. The no-nonsense Anderson spoke of making changes when he gave his first press conference at the Galpharm Stadium yesterday.

Has Eorl been under performing all season? No he hasn't. I like it how every man and his dog knows who's injured at the giants. It's a pity the coaching staff don't know this so they could rest the injured players and the squad could be rotated to utilise the injury free players we have got on the books!!!!

Not saying rest every player whose carrying a knock but something's got to be seriously wrong when the previous coach was willing to play the captain who now has miraculously got an injury that will see him miss the rest of the season but was ok to play beforehand. Truely amazing!!!!!

not only this his bicep was heavily strapped for the wire game...another injury

So he is not fully fit and not wanted, does that mean he ends up playing for nobody for the rest of 2012?

I can see the sense of him not being allowed to go to Hull as a rival top 8 club (I would be surprised if he would want to, just to see out the season, but hey you never know). We may not be in a position to complete his transfer early and if you released him he would become a free agent anyway. I suppose you could loan him to us for the remainder of the season. We dont play each other again so no problems there and we might be playing a few of your rivals (Hull certainly).

Alternatively he gets his ankle properly sorted and readies himself for 2013.

It's common knowledge about eorl-it was reported he was due to have 2 ops after his England call up but only had one due to our forward injury issues at the start of the season- hes deferred the other till the offseason.

from wot i was told on tuesday hes neither dropped or injured hes got the same result as nb he has left the club

looks like anderson has gone the route of well hes not in my plans for next year so might aswell forget him...is gilmore going to get the same treatment then?

whatever, its a blow for us to have such a talented player missing.

and not the best way to treat a player who has given everything for the Giants over the years.

I don't think this is a blow or disrespectful. Kev (and Gilly) have been great for the club and they go with all my best, but this is about Baloo taking the Giants forward and players who won't be here next season by default can't be part of the process. I also question whether we'll miss Kev at all considering his form this season (even taking into account the positional arguments about his best role). Think this is the correct decision by Baloo and a great signal of his intent to drive the Giants on to new heights.

but you can also look at it as writing off the season..

but some already think its over anyway now! maybe it is...limp onto next season
