| Sorry but after the news yesterday I have had enough of people not respecting our great club we have had a coach who has been trying to leave for 3 yrs and now a captain who has decided to join a team who loses by 50 every week. Can you imagine that happening at Leeds or saints who is running our show. I'm sorry but you dont leave a club supposedly going for the big prizes because you are missing your family . We need to wise up quick Danny Brough new captain or is he off too and we need someone who can lead the team at wembley and old trafford who believes in the club and wants to be here for next 3 years with our new coach. Good luck to Kevin brown not a bad player but can't cut it against the top 4 it will suit him fine at widnes on big money in a team that's not expected to win if we are serious about winning we need Lunt back from Leeds our big paid players playing big minutes with a pack on with some sizeon driven on by a captain with passion for the club otherwise it's bridesmaids again for us

| I agree to an extent but think it would be very risky to remove the captaincy from Kevin Brown. The club have set a precedent with Nathan Brown, both Brown's leaving you cannot let one remain in a leadership role and remove the other. Stripping the Captaincy would upset Kevin Brown and probably the other players closest to him.
I would rather he stood down voluntarily, but think it too big a risk to strip him of the position.

| I'd leave it as is , as don't see much to be gained by altering the dynamics of the team hierarchy , and possibly causing dressing room politics.
Next year robbo or lod for me as captain. Broughy has enough responsibility on his plate already and should be focussed on his own potential match winning performances , than also carrying the team decisions and responsibilities too.

Make your mind Up - first you have a whinge that kb is going and it wouldnt happen anywhere else- then you say he isn't good enough anyway so it's just as well he's leaving.
Perhaps players are just fed up with either the constant negativity or complete
apathy from the folk of Huddersfield and go somewhere where supporters have a bit of passion and positivity. Just a thought.

I think you are correct. How many times do we see travelling fans making more noise than us?
As a relative newcomer, I am tottally surprised by the lack of noise during home games. Its almost as if the supporters are there for a sunday afternoon tea party.
Lets get behind the team, whoever is captain, manager or tea boy and give them the same commitment that they give us!

But it happens both ways. When we played at Wigan at the start of the season, there was hardly any noise from the home crowd and we were almost non-stop.
Noise basically comes down as to who is on top.

| Seriously- you reckon we out shouted the brigantes? No it comes from being arissed to make the effort to sit with other giants fans and join in.
Great atmosphere in section 106 of etihad- would have been even better if we had all sat together like wire, Salford, cas, wakey, Bradford fans did.

| HOw can anyone come on here and slag brown off as he wants to huddersfield to be closer to his family. His grandma has cancer i think it is and he has just had a baby boy. He went to the board at the begining of the season and said he wants to move back to wigan. Widnes knew this and offered money so hes accepted so he can be closer to family. HIs family is more important than a game of rugby league.
8/10 away fans are louder than home fans. Every fan prefers away games.
Robbo for captain for me. Brough has too much on his plate to be captain.

Where do his family live....australia. ffs Heard he was told that he couldmove back to wigan area and continue playing for the Giants.
the idea that he signed for widnes to be 'closer' to his family is laughable. He went for big bucks...which is not unreasonable but we can do without the bullsh*t.

That's nice of them. Were they going to teleport him to and from training every day?

Money would determine which club he ended up at, but is not primarily why he left.

Do you think people can teleport sunshine? You must stop reading those comics.
If KB is an adult rather than a prima donna he can drive to work. In the world of adults they do that. If you knew anything about RL you would know that many playersmanage this incredibly difficult task every day. HTH.
Money was the primary objective, it determined the club he wants to play for.

| The circumstances of kevs family isn't like everyone else's though is it-an hour away is a long time in an emergency. People with close family ties understand. Family comes before all other considerations-it's only a game and kev has no loyalties to the giants-they are his employers that's all.
Get real.

Grow up and try and get your head out of the sand.
Many people with close family ties live more than an hour apart. And the talk of emergency is melodramatic piffle.
I do agree that despite the ways the Giants have helped KB - and they have - he has no loyalties to the Giants.

Purely out of interest, why have you come back on here? You must really enjoy arguing the toss with virtually every poster? You call people names and you insult them. You drive people away because of your attitude and manner. Your posts are rarely constructive and almost always destructive. You're now hijacking almost every thread. You've been banned I don't know how many times and come back with different names.
Yes, this is a forum for people to air their views, but just what do YOU get out of it?

Do let me know when you set your post to violin music.
I have a pov and state it. plenty agree if you read the threads in a less one eyed way.
Just because you and a few like minded knuckle draggers cannot countenance a different pov we get your dreary moralising. Save it for someone who gives a damn.
As for driving people away. Oh dear. Are you hard of thinking? I think KB went to Widnes for money and Greg eden makes far too many errors and brough should be captain...That is going to drive people away?
Now do try and stop posting about me and share your wisdom re: New captain.

| Sadly a lot of what he says is true!
and whats more sad is that youre so far up your own your eyes cant see it
but woe betide anyone who dares to counter your arguments and insults !! -surprise surprise --topic locked !
Cant have that happening to someone on the inside can we ?
So if they`re the rules and it gives you satisfaction --ENJOY!!
Could foresee a lot more being locked!
PS --I gave my opinion on who I thought should be captain before Brown got picked -- so dont drag that up as a scoring point!

| I doubt stating your pov will drive people away- but calling people knuckle draggers etc could well put people off. There is a big difference between debate and argumentative bloody mindedness-the fact that you keep coming back after bans for more indicates you just love to upset the apple cart.
You can stay on here for me-I'm quite happy to take you to pieces ocassionally without resorting to childish name calling. In fact I'm quite happy to discuss your POV face to face. There are plenty of people on here who know me -I don't need to hide behind a persona.

At the end of the day he has made a decision that he think will benefit HIS family, which are HIS priority - he owes Huddersfield RLFC nothing, he has worked for them and given them good service and has been paid accordingly for this work - just like any other employee.
No point speculating or gossiping as to how and why .....its his life and his decision.
While he is a Giants player, and more importantly, our captain we must support him while he is wearing our kit not question his decisions etc.

Funny how I never see you comment on the 'insults' others use, maybe because they agree with you?
I will have sleepless nights worrying about you taking me to pieces, I really will. But should you be doing that? Shouldn't we all be holding hands and wearing claret and gold flowers in our hair?
taking people to pieces...that sounds like....me
