lets make a stand keep mainly to a winning team brough on bench and probs leeming to miss out for me also think keep crabtree on bench his best game of the season last week always felt he is better coming on after 20 mins lets start the climb onwards and upwards

Why are people so desparate to leave danny out? I get maintaining a winning team but we were hardly world beaters last week who produced try scoring oppurtunities with every play and have zero room for improvement no matter who we'd introduce. Danny has proven time and time again he's another class to alot of players and I think it's foolish and being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn to leave him out.

i said but on bench not leave out how many times this year did anderson put a player who had been banned or injured straight back at the expense of someone who had done nothing wrong im a fan of danny my point was keep a winning team start if it dont work then change things young brierly and elliss did a good job so dont deserve to be dropped

Will it be Connor that misses out this weekend given all the hullabaloo?

Can't not play brough for me.
It would be like saints not playing Roby or Leeds not playing peacock because the previous game their stand in did nothing wrong-Wouldn't happen!!!

Brough doesn't have a bigger fan on here than me, That said I have always been a believer in keeping a winning side, It would be smart to start with the same side again IMO with Brough on the bench. Brough is a professional who has played the game long enough to know how things work, He is the Kingpin in our team, But it wasn't just a case of nobody letting us down, they all actually played very well. I would play Brierley at Full back till things get sorted one way or other with Conner.

Hopefully we will get a coach who will be able to see our players best positions, and they will be given a chance to make them their own, Instead of the game of chess we have endured under PA. I know some of it was forced on him early season, But to be honest he has ever been one for swapping players about to get certain people in, not just this season.

We have had Brierley 3/4 months now ? I still don't know if we have a good player or not.

Brough is the best HB we have at the club, would be daft to leave him out of the starting 13. Would like to see Brough and Brierley as halves to see how they go?

Hull fans are discussing that hudds give them brough in exchange for Connor


Bless - theyve still not given up on that fantasy...

So would I but it doesn't look like happening, at least not till we get the new coach. Ellis is OK and is probably as good as he is going to be, He has not set anything on fire at any of his previous clubs. Brierley has the potential to be very good, Will we ever get to find out. One thing is certain, we are doing him no good at all messing him about. We bring him to the club and promptly stick him behind a player who is clearly not good enough, Or at the very least we know is leaving, Then we stick him behind another , who also looks like he will be leaving. I was hoping all the nonsense would have gone with the last coach.

Why did we buy him, does anybody know ?.

As a Hull KR fan yes please stick with a winning side and leave Brough out

its not a fantasy jools, its just that they are both decent larkers end off,

I agree that Ellis is ok, but the really annoying thing is, if he lost a stone and a half he could be really really good. Needs to cut down on the pies and get himself really fit and then let's see what he can do.

went well lastnight at hooker, really going into the tackle against blokes twice his size, but no surprise really as he always puts his body on the line, stopped a certain try with one tackle, came off after that with a bang to the ribs.

didnt expect to see him at hooker!

but if fit i expect to see him back in the halves next week , the keep a winning team brigade are with a losing team now

will we be seeing brough in the new role of hooker going forward??

Who knows Brearley, going by the Examiner someone does, Could be they have Ellis and Breirley at half, but where does that leave us fullback wise.

I would say Brough will always give it his best shot wherever he plays, but it seems to me he has been the best player in the side for a long time, How you improve things by moving someone else into his position I don't know, We will have to wait and see.

I was told Anderson's plans was to have him on hooking duties with Robbo but nothing ever came of it. I think Brough would make a good hooker personally.

Going forward I wouldn't totally expect Brough to be at the Giants. The club would offload him tomorrow if they could.

In fact Andy Kelly has backed up Anderson's thoughts that he must be moved on.

Before everybody jumps down my throat, this isn't my opinion, it's factual. I love watching Brough play as much as everybody else but the harsh fact is he is doing nothing for team spirit.

Based on what evidence?

Nobody is jumping down your throat. However when has either Anderson or Kelly said that Brough needs to be moved on. If you are going to make sweeping statements you need to back them up.

From what I witness most weeks, Broughy IS our team spirit !!

Give me a few more with his team spirit, and I'd show you some overdue silverware in Hudds.

I agree entirely, If the rest of the side went as well in their positions over the season we wouldn't be going into the middle 8's. What he has done wrong to lose him his natural place I don't know. I was thinking we were over all that stuff.

I've never felt entirely easy about him leaving ,after all the rumors earlier, Hull signing Conner has eased things a bit.

One thing you don't do is spout out your source.

What you probably need to see is that Brough is his own team spirit - he does what he wants.

Just because he jumps around shouting and thumping his badge after scoring doesn't mean he's good for the club.

Like I said I don't want to be told these things about a player who has been a joy to watch but life isn't blue skies and fluffy clouds and neither is life within a RL club.

But if you choose to ignore this and believe your own version then that's fine. No worries.

Either way I hope all fans are going to unite for the remainder of this season. The middle 8s could be a white knuckle ride. UTG

I can only call Broughy as I see him.

He always puts a 100% in on the pitch.

He has been on a number of occasions this season the only player to come over to the fans on the Revell Ward side after the game.

When not picked he always turned up to watch the team.

I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes and have no internal sources.

My view based on the evidence of my own eyes is that he's good for the club and cares about the fans.

Of course I hear things from "friends of friend"s about giants but the world is full of unsubstantiated nonsense put about by people with nothing better to do.

I don't really know what to make of this post. " quote "one thing you don't do is spout your source " I don't know who that is meant for, You are the one divulging these snippets of info on Brough, It seems to me you are the one who should be saying where you get it from.

Personally I have no inside info, but then I am not claiming I know anything, I am not saying you don't know anything but if you expect anyone to take you seriously, you will have to say a bit more than you have, Until then it's just an opinion.
Saying that the Giants would offload Brough tomorrow if they could, Doesn't help your cause to be honest. I would put money on there being a queue for his services if he was up for grabs. are you saying nobody would want him ?
