I'm sorry but the thought of BJ being our main play maker next year leaves me very cold indeed. Nothing against Ben as i think he would link well with Brough but he's not a pivotal player as we know only too well.

The club has to make a stand and for once prevent our biggest player leaving as history tells me if we dont pull our figure out another 1) Topliss to Hull 2) Ellis to Leeds 3) Solomona to Bulls is well on the cards.

If we are serious about building a team for the future Brough must stay or its yet another step back

I wonder why 'he was shown the door'?

If the club have given him what he asked for the he should sign., after all he's signing on the terms HE asked for.
If he's keeping his options open until the end of next season why even discuss, and lay out his terms for an extended contract.
Wasted everybody's time if this is the case.

Im not going to discredit what you're saying but on the whole the nrl teams are water tight in their player selection. a player needs ALL the right attributes and for me, broughy lacks one key attribute for their game - disciplin !!! unless the he's about to slip through the net i carnt see anyone going for him at the moment. Yes he has calmed down somewhat but he is still a relative 'loose cannon' and i dont think he has the disciplin for their game.

If he did end up in the NRL, it would look good on wakefield....with brough and ellis we'd be the NRLs top supplier?

I have heard it is Hull KR who want him and they know the route to Dannys heart is through his wallet. I have also heard he is training really hard and getting his head down. I hope he stays but if its his last season then so be it. All I ask is that he gives us his best while he is with us and leaves on good terms.

No-one can ask more than that. TBH i don't see KR as any better than us. If we had the same luck on the injury front at the start of last season i think we wouldn't have finished much behind them. If Danny is looking to move to further his career i think there are only 2 clubs in the competition that you can class as better than us by some considerable distance, Leeds and Saints. And like has been stated i don't think he has the discipline for either of those two clubs. You could argue the same about Briers.

Leeds and Saints apart IMO there is very little to separate the rest of last years play-offs, with the exception in my view of Cas, who lack quality and depth.
