Absolutely, but unfortunately we had Kear in charge at the time (iirc) and he was part of the problem.

A very deserved recipient of the MOS award.

No, we had a Sharp in charge, and he binned Brough during our 13 game winning streak.

Can understand why he did it, but upon reflection was a very poor move. Should have tried to help him more. Such a talent lost.

Sharp, thanks for correcting me.

Danny was smoking at training and generally being a bit of a "joker in the pack", so like you say, understand why he was let go.

It was quite some time (and growing up) ago.

That's not quite correct. Broughy was left out of the ETS in March as you say, but was still part of the England setup until Sunday 2nd of June when he was told he wasn't in the England plans and was not picked to play in the Exiles game. At this point he was already having the season of his life and ripping teams apart, so it was obvious he was not going to be picked while McNamara was in charge. The day after, he was interviewed after getting the MOM against Saints and announced he was going back to playing for Scotland in the World Cup.
