Don't need him, as much as having a good team is about having good players it's also about selecting the right one's to gel together and form a competent team under the hefty restraints of a salary cap. If are problems are a poor kicking game and lack of organization in halves, the latter one being something I personally don't agree with, Brown won't solve either of those problems. He's a 6 the same as Sam just not as good.

Secondly I'm a believer in once a player has left a club he shouldn't return, of course there are exceptions to this but for me Brown doesn't fall into that category. I'd much rather have Finch even though I wouldn't be over excited by his signature, but he at least fits the bill of an experienced scrum-half that so many on here feel we need.

I'm personally very content with are halfback partnership, so much in fact that I only have two gripes with it. First are kicking game overall is poor, although Sam's getting better he's still a way to go, where as Tommy has a decent kicking but only over medium to short distances. My only other gripe is with Tommy, firstly he suffers from inconsistency, in some games he can be superb controlling everything and close to the line he's lethal, however he doesn't do enough of it. Improve Tommy's consistency as well as both their kicking games and I'm more than happy with who we've got at 6 and 7.

Of course there are exceptions and some individual players I would love to bring in purely because of how good they are, but if I'm honest neither Brown nor Finch fall into this category.

He's a Yicker isn't he? Not Sintellinser...

Anyways... I'd be 50-50 on this. He's had a few decent games yes, but I've not seen too many where he's particularly stood out.

I wouldn't want to replace Sam or Tommy in the halves.

Quote: MadDogg "One thing I'm extremely confident about - Brown won't come here to play centre. If he was going to sign for Wigan, I think he'd want a guaranteed halfback spot.'"


Well he isn't a scrum half so that would be 6 then. Given Sam T is our 6 I don't see how he fits in.

And before someone says there is no difference between 7 and 6 these days I think there is in the the 7 always seems to be the organisational type of player more often than not.

I just can't see Sam at 6 and Brown at 7 working, nor the other way around.

As to him coming at centre I don't really rate him in that position and so it would be a step down from Carmont and Gleeson IMO. Aren't we supposed to have a few potential SL standard centres coming through the ranks and there is also Goulding who may move back there.

If we are to recruit a half back I'd sooner look elsewhere for a proper organising scrum half.

IMO Brown is a better ball handler than Sam and has better vision.

Sam catches the eye more because of his speed, agility, grit and eye for the line. Soloplay as you call it.

Most of all Huddersfield tries come off either a Brown kick or pass.

When he left it was the best option for everyone, now he is ten times the player on and off the field.

I would have him back no danger.

Anyway, in Madge we trust.

Perhaps he will not replace either of those two, i would be suprised if that were the case.

However there is a question mark over the future of Cameron Phelps beyond 2010.

Brown could provide cover for full back and centre positions as well as slotting into the halves should we need cover.

Kevin Browns not what we are crying out for (which is a good 7 with a kicking game - tommy is not this. he is good close to the line and that is it.) but i wouldnt say no to bringing him back, hes shown some fantastic form at Huddersfield and can play a few different positions.

Just because we sign Brown doesnt mean we cant sign a 7 aswell. At the end of the season we could be saying goodbye to Phelps, Bailey, Feka, Fielden, and Carmont. Obviously a couple of those might get extentions but we will have alot of money free at the end of the year and if we get rid of those and bring in Brown, Finch and a Prop or 2 I will be happy with that.

I think if Phelps left, Amos would be fullback with Goulding on the wing.

Would be a cracking signing.

Brown has big ability and has matured in to a great player. Could play full back, centre or stand off.

For me he could play 6 with sam at 1 or he could play at centre. He adds class and versatility at the right age and within the wiganers playing for wigan theme. ( albeit he is from haydock)

If you look back at my posts regarding Kevin Brown over the last three years I have always maintained that he is the one player that we should have kept. It is a view supported by a few (in powerful positions) at Wigan.

That's why I think there maybe some "legs" in this story.
