at least he aint bad mouthed the club so thats a bonus

danny b never wanted to leave club... was how can we put it.. he needed to sort finances out for himself and family

here we go .... danny wanted to stay but we would not play ball , the offer Wakefield finally put down would of sorted his finances and more but was committed elsewhere. i give it up to 6 hours before teds the enemy and as been spotted in the changing rooms of M&S

Whilst I am glad this is all over I am sad to see Danny go. Losing a top quality player, which nobody can deny Danny was, is a step backwards. Let us hope Paul Cooke can take us two steps forward.

we were gonna lose him anyway and tbf his game as suffered since his show V leeds, danny can be a match winner there's no doubt about that but we are not a 1 man team and we will carry on progressing through our youth (which danny was part of) .

Don't think we'll miss him at all, Sam Obst is a natural scrum half, that was his position before he came to us but the fact that he's been turned into a hooker for us means that most of his training would be related to the hooking role hence he sometimes looks rusty when being pressed into the halfback position, when he took the mantle on at HKR while DB was in the bin and again on Sunday he looked a better player than Brough to me so given a fair run of games at S/H I believe he will turn into one of the best in the league, add to that the arrival of Cooke who, IMO, has more class than Brough and the return of BJ later on and I personally think that we are in a better position player wise than when Brough was here.

An added bonus to all this is that we now have Korki at the club permanently and we won't have to go to Hudds at the end of the season to try and work out another loan deal for him which could have proved difficult had they had any problems with filling their propping positions.

IMO Brough going will help us move on in the same way that Solomona leaving did, someone will stand up and be counted, and we have got rid of the disruption in the camp.

IMO now that deal is done it's time to move on, both clubs got what they wanted out of the deal so there's no point arguing about who won, let's just forget Brough and enjoy watching the players that want to be here and are doing a damn good job of entertaining us so far this season.

I said before that season started that I thought we had a shot at top four this year, what's happened this week doesn't alter my views in the slightest.

the main problem mutley was db needed cash in his hand for personal reasons and wakey wouldnt go down that road.. and quite right too

good post there catnap

and your saying huddersfield did?

Great post Catnap!

Let's not answer that one on a public forum eh?

I'd have thought that Shudds would have had a newer photo of Broughy than that one.

Glad the whole matter is finally sorted. Sorry to see him go, but given the circumstances it was the right decision. I think Obst has done a great job at SH when he has played there, although I think we might miss DB's kicking game and genuine pace as I don't believe we have anyone who can go the length of the field as he did on a semi-regular basis. On the positive side it might actually bring the team closer together and the addition of Cooke will give us more kicking options, and by the sound of it we got a great deal for a player who would have walked away for nothing in a few months time.

ouch

BJ's not bad with daylight in front of him, Blanch can go the full length and Murphy has shown a fair bit of pace already this season.
