Some folk on here think you aren't allowed to be disappointed with this affair ... I still am..

Sam Obsts performance against Salford doesn't make me think we won't miss Brough. Sam did well however - consistency and quality of distribution (from hand and boot) is what Sam desperately needs to work on IMO.. to many bad passes and too much indecision sets them apart for me over the course of 2+ years i have come to that verdict!

The reality is Brough will leave a hole ...................... Sam isn't the same player and doesn't have the same qualities Brough has... however he brings different ones....... Sam, Cookey and BJ will now have to get together, fill the gap and take us forward....

What a revolting kit. Does him no favours

Good posts from both Catnap and mwildcats but for me the truth lies somewhere between the two. Short term I think it will be a bit of a loss. Because of the position he played and the skills he has then a lot of moves, especiallly in attack, involved him as a main element. It will take a bit of time to adjust - but adjust we will. With Cooke I think that the adjustment time will be fairly short and we could end up better off. We'll miss Danny chasing back in defence and some of the tackles he put in, but not the penalties he gave away when he gets fired up. I'm not unhappy with the deal but really prefer full signings rather than loans - but the loans may disguise who's paying the wages.

The main point is - CAN WE GET ON WITH LIFE NOW! There's been more posts about this than the fact we're still sixth and keeping in with the leading group. There's a gap opening up in the middle of the table and we're above it. By my reckoning we'll still be sixth no matter what happens on Friday so let's look to the future positively - oh forgot that's not allowed on here!!!

bye bye db.

I'm sorry to see him go and think the turn around of the club's competitive edge of the last few years has been influenced by the presence of DB and the great one (J Kear). His kicking game alone was worth maybe one or two tries a game, especially against bigger clubs. I also loved his consistent effort to get an interception try in every single game in the last 6 months. His kick conversion rate was also highly consistent and proven such as against Harlequins last season.

On the down side he was sometimes found lacking in defence (but when he tried he was a major asset here). Rumours often circulated as to whether he was a disruptive influence in the squad or not. I also did not appreciate the way he scalded Morton at Hull KR when in my view he was at fault with a poor pass. That behaviour was not leadership.

I'm delighted that we've kept Korki although surprised it was up for negotiation so soon. Kirkmond, I know too little about so will give him a fair viewing before passing judgement. Cash is also welcome, use it wisely.

Cooke, has been disruptive according to Hull and KR fans I talk with (I live on the outskirts of Hull). His reputation off the field allegedly is questionable. I hope that he stays focused and resurrects his career and enjoys the responsibility that goes with it.

I was apprehensive when BJ came back but have been delighted with his performances so far, certainly foot in mouth time for me. (When is he back from injury?). When he was first with us I was far from a fan and found him too predictable and not a leader on the field. Since his return, he has not been the primary playmaker who the team look to (like he was previously) and I think he is revelling in his game because of it. As long as he plays off someone and does not feel the pressure to perform I am confident JK can get the best out of him.

Last season we often looked to Brough to do some magic to turn the game our way, which he often did. Today I think we have more leaders and creators on the pitch and the team is stronger for it. Morrison is an inspiration to all, BJ finds opportunities unlike before, Obst is a tiger (not of the Cas kind). Admittedly so far I have been disappointed with Millard, he rarely gets or passes the ball. At Quins on the first game of the season he gave us a taster of what he can do and nothing from what I can tell since (although I can't make every game). I hope he will now flourish in a team of equals.

Thanks for everything Danny, we appreciate everything you did for us and wish you well. I look forward to a bright future under JK.

Goodbye Danny and all the best with Huddersfield.

Will I miss you? No. For me you have always dictated by how many points we won a game, never (oh go on, then once v Leeds this season) won a game for us. I hope you find it easier to build positive on-field relationships with your new colleagues than you have at Wakefield.

Fee of 30k said Stuart Pyke on Twitter. Better than nothing in October I guess if he was going to leave now.

The overall package is worth substantially more than any cash sum!

the King is dead, long live the King

im more than happy.
cash plus 2 players cant be bad. plus we have king korki for keeps now.

long live the king

Huddersfield have got themselves a very, very good player, one who is much underrated by opposition supporters. It’s only when you watch him regularly you see what influence he has over a team in defence and attack.

The only issue is his much publicised temperament. He is a volatile character and is prone to moods which can inhibit the team, yet this makes him tick as a player. Lose that then you lose the competitive streak in him.

His kicking game is often cited but he also has an excellent long passing game and reads the game very well. How many times he has intercepted a pass and had the legs to finish it off?

Keep him on the straight and narrow and Huddersfield can be real challengers for the GF

If Korkidas keeps up his game, as he has done since his return, then I’m happy with that. I would’ve preferred to see Kirmond move on a permanent basis but understand that he is a player Huddersfield do not want to lose. I’m assuming Huddersfield are contributing a large proportion of the wages of these two players as compensation for Brough (I heard a rumour that they don’t pay any transfer fee’s after all) which should see the club a little better off in the short term.

As to whether Broughs departure will hinder the team, well all will be revealed in time. Friday will be the first opportunity this season to see how the team cope against quality opposition minus Brough. Cooke and Obst should prove able replacements, each providing varying skills in which to attack Wire. It’s certainly going to be interesting to see how things pan out.

Part of me is utterly gutted that we've lost Brough, I've always liked him as a player and he put on some stunning displays for Trin.

But, part of me is not too fussed. Broughy can be a bit inconsistent and struck me as a bit of a moody character. Plus, you look at Obst's performances this season and have to question how much we are actually missing. Cookie's an awesome player as well, who, in a couple of weeks, should have found his feet and be playing the sort of rugby we remember him playing.

Out of the Brough deal we got Korki all to ourselves, we got Kirmond till the end of the season and a wodge of Hudds' Wembley money, which we've used on Cookie and Gledhill. Hudds for me may have shot themselves in the foot. Brown and Robinson are on fire at the moment and have been the centre of the squad for a while now. How is Brough going to fit in there. Also, Hudds have Drew. For me Wakey's biggest downfall over the past couple of seasons was the fact that Drew and Brough really did not seem to get on, which, I would say, cost us matches. The Hudds have Grix as well. Potentially, as well as a lot of quality halves, they also have a lot egos to deal with their. Then again the coaching staff might be able to deal with this. It'll be interesting to see anyroad.

All in all, gutted he's gone, but we're still strong and Hudds could have issues, so not all bad.

Bloody photoshop. Tut tut.

cheers danny, youve been fantastic for the wildcats and will be very very hard to replace.
