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.

Good post. I concur.

Broughy will certainly be missed, a top 5 S.H in S.L, and especially by the young kids who come to B.V. The number of times, when asked, ‘Who’s your favourite player’ 90% of the time the answer is D.B. But when you’ve seen ‘em come & seen ‘em go, it’s put into perspective.

It’s a shame the lad’s (allegedly) got himself into a spot of financial bother, I think he really liked working with J.K. Not sure how he will go at Hudds, he doesn’t seem to gel with Aussie coaches too well.

Thanks for your contribution D.B, the try against Leeds will be my best memory of him in the R.W & B, thanks also for just missing that 40/20 while playing for Cas in the relegation decider – priceless.

Good luck Danny, right thats it move on come on you Trin..!
