First winning at Hudds will not be easy, new coach, Brough back, new coach = `old `players looking to impress, very talented youngsters ( apparently this Wardle lad is out of contract this season and all the big boys are after his signature ) . So if we win at Hudds all we have to do is avoid Saint, Wigan, Leeds, Warrington , Cas , Hull and we may reach a semi final.

Wardle will be missing a few games after this weeks disciplinary.

They have had the new coach game whilst I don't see the return of Brough as a bonus but who knows he may have a few performances left in the tank.

On paper we out size them, out pace them and Miller, Finn, Wood and Randell should be able to outthink them but somehow it probably won't happen.

I thought our game next week was his first game in charge and in the country?

I would rather Brough play than him not to be honest, although he can occasionally still produce something a bit special he is now more of a liability than anything else whilst he is on the pitch.

I hope your never asked to encourage the lads before the game, I fear none of them sides and why should we, In fact I run the back side off broughy and Wardle so they knew they'ed been in a game

Pauli Pauli step up to the plate again.
There isn't a HB in the comp that would want to be in his path and if he runs at Broughy 2 or 3 times, he wont want to know.
Running out wide, instead of banging the ball up the middle seems to be his new role and I like it

Yep we did the same thing a few seasons back! Using Richard moore running at Trent Barrett

I'm no big fan of Brough's right now, but the only thing he still does is defend bloody aggressively. In most of our games he's the one looking to put a hit on someone out wide. He's a liability in many ways these days, but lacking the grit to tackle a forward certainly isn't one of them.

broughy has never backed off any challenge who ever came his way but there is only so much a player of his size could take, bearing in mind he's a threat on a attack it would certainly put a shed load on his game plan

remember vainikolo being ripped to bits by leeds and sinfield, the guys legs was like jelly at the end of the game

I agree with this also, Danny may have lost his pace but he is still one of the most aggressive defenders out there.
He really gets stuck in and he also still has a great kicking game

he is, its his aggression that gets him in trouble half the time, put him on Pauli Pauli....

Yes, he's a right niggly git these days but, I really dont see him bothering Pauli, do you ?
