I'd just be concerned about his attitude. He's been at an awful lot of clubs for such a young talented player.

He'll take the chance of silverware - And be a fitting repacement for LuLu.
The feelers are already out, so i hear.....

Brough kicking game is exemplary. Reminds me of Deacon circa. 2003-5.

Mellor and Powell are nowhere near ready to play first team football week in week out, especially in such a pivotal role.

Sign a quality halfback with the money freed up from Tommy, Amos and (possibly) Fielden. With that sort of cash, we could pretty much take our pick.

Danny is a good player but I'd rather have one of their academy players fill Tommy's spot than Brough, he would be a 30 year old journey man who is notorious for being disruptive. I'm holding out on IL pulling of a quality half back signing

For me I'd go with brough.

Gives us the biggest thing we've been lacking for the past few years which is his biggest strength IMO....a w/class kicking game.

I've wanted brough to sign for us right back since his early hull days when I saw the talent in him then....Brough at wigan would also be a perfect opportunity for him - throws him in the limelight where he can show what he can do and be noticed....he would almost inevitably end up starting for England in the world cup next year if he came to wigan, which, however good he is at huddersfield, he may miss out on presently.

Leneghan should be having a word in his ear along these lines IMO....brough to wigan would work for everyone!

6. Finch
7. Brough

9. Mclorum

with Logan, Mellor, & Powell competing for the interchange half/hooker role

I would take Brough but I think I would rather Dureau he will only be 26 when it comes to the end of the year so we could sew up an important position with a guy in his peak for up to 5 years! Whereas Brough will be 30 at the start of next season so we would probably only be able to bank on him for 2-3 years therefore being in the same position we are now.

But having said that, on the flip side you could say that if we had Brough for 2-3 years then the young guys will be ready to step up when Brough has done his bit. Plus people seem to be making out that hes a terrible guy but we got the best from Gleeson for a couple years and he really was a troubled individual.

No. Brett kenny was a "great" player

Different era's.

In todays super league, brough is one of the top 3 scrum halves.

I rate them in this order

Dureau

Tommy

Brough

Lomax / Myler / dobson / seymour / gower / smith /

That sadly highlights how the quality of half backs in our league have dropped since Kenny's era.

That season we had Kenny and Hull FC had Peter Sterling. The starting HB partnership for Aus at the time. Unless we'd seen Lockyer and Thurston over here at the same time in the last few years it would have to be lower than in 85. Not every HB of that time was great. Of those named Lomax and Myler (though IMO he is a support act and nothing more) are only young and have many years to become better than they are now. Who is to say how they will be thought of by fans looking back in 30 years time.

If we keep Finch to do the organising in the halves, I'd be happy that Mellor could make the step up.

Agreed. After watching Australia v new Zealand, god help England if Brought is the best we've got
