Damn.... This then

"Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings". - (Quote Act I, Scene II).

Danny Brough to stay on loan at wakey for remainder of season and hudds don't have to compete for his signature come end of same. I would take that and a transfer fee or player. Prob wont happen but id welcome that.

I think the most defo thin in the world is that your suggestion will not happen. Why would Hudds give Wakey a player or any money and loan Brough back to secure DB's services at the end of the year when it's Danny's choice where to go at the end of the year NOT Trinity's - he's OOC. Perhaps you are "the king of wishful thinking?".

I have read all the comments on here about Danny Brough, some I agree with and some I don't. Let's not forget although he is a quality player he is not the god some people make him out to be. When we signed from Cas many people posted on her I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole or similar statements meaning the same thing. Whilst he undoubtedly has one of the best kicking games in super league and can turn a match, he is only a good club player. As far as international honours go, he played for Scotland (because he can point to it on a map) had a decent World Cup and began believing he was good enough for the NRL (in his dreams). As far as the Four Nations last year was he selected? No, not even in the train on squad. He was behind an 18 / 19yr old kid who played half a season at a team in the bottom two. So while yes it is a shame, it's not the demise of Wakefield like the doom and gloomers like to think. We as a club will live on for years to come and Brough will become a distant memory.

At the end of the day no player is bigger than the club. People have named some great players who have left the club over the years, some not with us anymore, but most of them left for the right reasons. Brough has tried to hold the club to ransom and I (although not a fan of the Richardson family) believe they are right to get rid now and look forward to the rest of the season rather than carrying a disruptive influence who doesn't want to be at the club.

I saw the headline 'Brough for Galpharm' - instantly I said we should go with that deal, we then have a stadium suitable for SL, and force Hudds into needing to merge with Quins or someone else to carry on. Bonus!

IMO Brough on his day is a match winner and when the team is playing well he really shines, however I think sometimes when everything is not going his way his attitude can have a negative effect on the whole team. I'll certainly miss watching him play, but the team comes first and I don't believe like others have said on here that the season is a write off 6 games in to it. We are not a one man team and I'm sure JK will challenge the players to show this is not the case and life goes on without Danny.

We have a fantastic crop of youngsters coming through, Cooke to come in (with a point to prove) and with the brass we are saving from Danny's hefty wages the opportunity to bring in a new player or two. I'm sure JK will not be entertaining the prospect of letting DB go if he didn't have something up his sleeve. So plenty of reasons to be optimistic.

Chin up boys!

I think some people may be overlooking what a set ot ts Shudds have been in all this. They have come in yet again and got to one of our players before a ball had even been kicked this season. they have got their man for next year and didn't give a toss about anything whilst they were doing it. They got found out and I think they have tried to cover their tracks by saying they want to sign him for this season.

My worry is that they will now pull out of the deal, leave us with an unsettled player and just sit back and wait for next season. I have said it many times before, just remember how the screwed up Griffin. The last thing we want is to be left with DB on our books behaving like Griff did that season.

Something similar was posted on the Huddersfield board. The thing is whether we will do anything about it if the deal doesn't go through now.

This is all Marc Bosman's fault, in the good old days we could have just stuck him on the transfer list and started a bidding war and not cared when his contract ran out

Yes I would hope we would if it all ends up a bad deal. Even if its hard to prove I would like to make as much of a stink about it as we can so they may at least think twice about doing it again.

Hudds won't pull out, they've too much to loose

What I would like to see is Ken Davy having to go on the roof of the main stand and toss himself off.

I wouldn't!!
