Chessie said last week he didn't want players cup tied.

Very difficult to respond to this suggestion with breaking every rule on the forum!

I chose not to...

There was so much "WAT???" in that suggestion, I melted

Did Brough stay on until the end of the game? Very game if he did its a very painful and disabling injury.

Talk about bad luck Danny would have being hooker v cas for my money with Reynolds 6 Hampshire 7 and Jowit at FB
Big ask v Cas and Leeds now big chance for others to step up win lose they will give 100%

He did stay on, and was significant in the win at the end too.
I do remember him diving in a tackle without really putting an arm out which looked strange but I can see why now.

Just watched Ryan Carmody interview, Brough having operation tomorrow. Will need wire in for six weeks, then one or two weeks recovery. That’s worst case scenario, I wonder what Danny thinks.

No doubt gutted.....
He's been absolute class since his return.
As for the squad/team implications, I think the term rhymes with clucking bell.

Of all the players to be missing, I suspect Broughy could have the biggest negative impact; pretty much everything we do that's any good comes through him, and he's back to his best in terms of being a little general - I am more than happy to eat humble pie on this one and say that signing him was an inspired choice; he's still amongst the best in the game.

My only hope now is that this is gamesmanship, and he'll magically recover by Thursday; conversely, I have a thumb that I don't use much - he can have that.

Listening to injury updates on TrinityTV, there's no way he will be playing for a few weeks.

Great. Cheers Wigan!

Don’t agree, I think a lot of good also comes through Miller although Broughys kicking has been causing a bit of havoc which is nice to see, both will be missed massively over the next 6-8weeks

That said Ben Reynolds has been playing extremely well at Fev think he has picked up MOM in 2 out of the last 3 games he has played for them, not ideal throwing in a new half back partnership but I imagine they have had been playing all of the different combinations throughout pre season - Think we may see Jowitt to FB, Rocky to 7 and Reynolds to 6.

Well I suppose Danny can't train but I would of like to think later while he's out that he could have input into Ben & Rocky ! With all the experience he has, especially with kicking the ball etc.

huh, Danny will be training, just not with the thumb

he can't twiddle it, so he might as well train
