I agree and wasn’t saying he is quick as Hampshire, just that he does have pace and to be fair I am not sure there are too many half backs that have serious pace, their job is more to create for others

I totaly agree ! Long gone are the stand offs with pace to burn , you would not see toppo going 50 yards plus one i can remember and saw quite a bit of was John Woods at Leigh ! then again has it been coached out of them to pin there ears back .

I love to watch pace, wether half’s or outside backs, but the role mainly is to bring in the forwards , but nice to have it if space is available all the same.

It’s funny but many on here were glad to see him leave. I guess this is a sign of the times, with many supporters seeing our shortcomings in the number 7 spot. These same supporters having lost Hampshire know we need somebody because we cannot go another season with an ageing Brough, nor could we do our usual and use a utility player to fill this position.
I am sorry but two good games over a disastrous period cannot be glossed over, we survived but no one wants to go through it again. We have released a chunk of the squad so let’s hope the powers that be have plans to bring in players who will improve the team. I look forward to seeing our final list of signings at which point we will have a better chance to understand the clubs ambitions for next season.

Sam Williams got a lot of stick on here when he played for Trinity, but if people watched the Sky highlights after the games, they'd see just how involved he was with most of our tries. He didn't really stand out during a game, but the highlights always revealed an important level of involvement, and how key his kicks and passes were to us scoring tries.

I agree but would he come over again to play second string to another aged scrum half.

Doesn’t that just about sum the reaction about players up on here from certain posters, laughable at times.

When we knew Randall was leaving mid season, that is when we tried to sign the hooker from Featherstone. It was reported he wanted too much money (no doubt true) we opted for Salford’s third choice who I can’t remember turning out for them who I presume came within our price range.

I think you will find Brough is more likely to be sent out on loan if we get a very good replacement.
The key words here, "very good replacement"

so one of the signings we are supposed to be getting will cause a surprise this would be it if true

If it’s the name I’ve heard that hasn’t been mentioned so far it would be a surprise for sure. Guess we will have to wait and see.
