Don't we ever learn! Has punished us for years and we still give him all the time to play, very rarely pressurising him. As soon as Delaney went off injured, no one steeped up to pressure kicks, put on a late hit to wind him up and put him off his game

I thought, barring his solo break for a try in the first 10 minutes, we keep tabs on Brough quite well and Huddersfield as a side were shot just coming up to the hour mark despite having all the play for the first 20 minutes of the second period and didn't really look like breaking us down.But...we kept giving away silly penalties and field position and they eventually had a hot 10 minute spell.

Really we got what we asked for, Brough was hardly anything special on the night imo.

What's that in Brett Delaney's pocket.......

He came to the fore when their forwards got the upper hand. Which is pretty common for halfbacks. We had long spells in the second half when we were losing the ruck, and you can't easily pressure a half in those circumstances. Brough's a good player, but our issues against Wire and in the Hudds fightback were more about the ruck area and the forwards, in my very humble opinion. If anything, I think Hudds should have made more of the opportunities we gave them in the second half, the blame for which must lie partially with the playmaker.

Brough gets more responsibility & has far more expectation than any other half back. Hudds failure to replace Kevin Brown has cost them massively. Brough & Brown would be a stunning HB combo. At the moment every single play seems to go through Brough. Compare to the current England 7 who passes along the line, misses tackles & makes errors with impunity.

Kev Brown might be doing the business now but trust me, he wasn't when he was us.

You Leeds boys and girls who seem to think Brough didn't hammer you, watch the game back.

did he play in the first half? like any half back he only plays if his pack his on top. seen him play far better than he did on thursday

Danny Brough can be a fantastic player and his kicking game is the best in super league . but when the chips are down and i mean really down would you trust him to come up trumps ?

Which HB would you trust? I mean really, really trust.

Are you really asking that question on the Leeds board?

To deliver in big games?

There's a young kid Leeds picked up from Waterhead who could have a promising future. Kevin something or other.

Is he the bloke who is so good he cannot get in the Leeds team?
I know they had a loose forward for about 17 years who wasn't too bad with a similar name.

Tigertot knows game well.

"Wear's No.13 Shirt - Must Be Loose Forward"

The best players tend to keep a stiff upper lip when things aren't gong their way. A stiff lower lip is more Brough's style.

Brough has got a tun of skill, one of the best boots in the game and punches way above his weight, but what a petulant little t*rd. My missus reckons he looks like something from Lord of the Rings.

Agree with your first point. Not your second. I thought your pack turned the game. Brough did well enough when they got him on the front foot. Not his best game by any stretch, but good enough.

Enough to set up 3 of our 4 tries. Good enough for me.

For all his bad points, there isn't a better half back in the country.

Stop listening to Stevo.

Do you really think he played well last night against SL fodder, who were missing their key playmakers?
Nothing says "class" more than missing touch when kicking a penalty, diving with more flair than Tom Daley or passing to the opposition when a try's begging.

Doesn't stop him from being a little weasel.

Also, after watching the Salford v Hudds this morning, I've noticed the niggly, petulant attitude of Brough is rubbing off on Connor, which is a real shame as I think he's a great prospect in the game.

I thought being petulant & niggly were pre-requisites for being a great scrum half.

I've no problem with petulant and niggly. I do have a problem with foul mouth outbursts.
silverwood could, and should, have doe the game a great favour by sending brough off for the outburst at the touch judge. totally unacceptable wether it was a leeds, Huddersfield or any other teams player

The RFL set the boundaries regarding Brough's foul mouth when they allowed him to call Bentham a "cheating c**t and bent b*****d" live on BBC last season. They and the refs are mostly to blame for Brough's petulance and foul mouthed antics. I would be quite happy to see Brough rendered mute by a large fist in his orifice next week.

A lad I once worked with who came from the same area as Brough tried claiming that Brough was "the toughest man in Dewsbury".....laughed for days at that.
