You shouldn't look at beating a specific team - you should look at picking points up on them. For example this weekend you have a great chance to pick up points against Warrington where we lost. That's the most important aspect - remember we have to play Wigan 3 times this year, where you get an easy winnable game against Leeds.

we normally beat wigan

and Leeds...

I hope this one works.

He certainly has a spark of genius on occasion. Although for me Robbo has been our best player this season (albeit with most of his best work around the ruck).

Not sure where it leaves Grix but I suppose he is a utility and it surely means that Drew will be very much an occasional starter.

Finally Danny must be a shoe in for the mantle of Giants ugliest player !

I wonder when his debut will be ?

not the biggest fan off Brough dont rate him at all only good when he get his own way otherwise he spites his
Dummy out y sign the like off kyle wood n mcnally if there not goin 2 play then

Pros:
Pace to burn without a doubt, he gets daylight he will score imo.
Best kicking game in SL, long and short.
Proven big game player

Cons:
Possible attitude problem
Solo player?
Loss of Kirmond?
Team disruption?


As with all players that come to us he gets the benefit of the doubt, the club havent steered us wrong yet in these things where we have been dubious about a signing.

Wonder if he will go in against Saints?

Wish we'd (Cas) had got him back rather than persist with our overpaid injury-prone 'Star' scrum half Sherwin

Agree with everything you say there DG

well done huddersfield. Great signing for you. I have posted previous on our forum disgussing the signing of danny brough. I certainly think he will bring alot to your team. your defence is best in the league but your attack is only 4th best. Brough will bering that added spark you need in attack. He is the joint third on try assists and attacking kicks and also 3rd for kicks in general play. he is prone to the odd error with 11 so far this season. For me he will put your team in with a shout for the grand final this season. your deffo ones to watch

I think you have the pros correct. The lad has attitude but that for me is crucial in a halfbacks makeup. As far as iam aware he was never disruptive at Wakefield. The thing about Brough is he wont take a backwards step against absolutely anyone. I think he would be ideal playing 7 for England but keeps getting overlooked.

Its why my cons had "?" after them, since its speculation on my part.

I think he keeps getting overlooked for England cos he keeps wanting to play for Scotland, and fair play to him for that.

Didnt he make himself available for England last year?

mcnally will never make it to super league in my opinion..

kirmond a class player, hope he isnt too unhappy with this move

team disruption could be a problem, rumour we tried to get rid of raleigh for him too

in nathan brown i trust though, looking forward to seeing brough in a giants shirt, we def needed to improve the kicking game so he will be the man to do it !

Could the fee be a deal struck to pay part of Kirkmond and Korki's wage without affecting our own wage bill. This would if we are in fact subsidising the 2 "loaned" players to Wakey take them off our wage bill and free up extra wages to bring in new players if needed. Just a thought as I don't believe transfer fees paid go towards the salary cap.

Or there wasnt actually any fee paid.

Surely any amount that Huddersfield are subsidising of Kirmond and Korkidis wages counts towards Huddersfields salary cap. Having already the largest squad by far in super league i don't think the could do this and stay within the cap.
Transfer fees do not count in the salary cap which may be why in this case Hudderafield have agreed to pay a fee.

the salary cap is live so i doubt Huddersfield have broken any rules , btw as with all clubs cleaners , Secretaries don't count

What i'm getting at is if we've agreed to finance part of the wages for the loan signings to wakey a so called "fee" has been agreed and paid for Brough just to cover the loan players salary's so in fact we've got Brough for nothing and paid a lump some to wakey to cover those players wages, it keep us well within the cap and maybe enable us to bring in someone else if needs be. Wakey benefit from having Korki next season and Kirky this season. A good deal for all concerned.
Hope you understand I'm confusing myself

Yes i see what you mean.

Still early in his career but I think he would eventually make a very good no6

Eh, so why would clubs loan players out?

Agent Brough safely installed. Now just the master plan to execute. Good luck Danny. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

with you lot getting brough in, where does that leave luke robinson? because u would think hes going to be sat in the stands from now on, u would think brown will play kev brown and brough at 6 and 7

Robbo has been playing at 7 and 9 this season, he has known about DB coming as has been mentioned in the Huddersfield Examiner over the last fortnight, he even said his dad said his game was more suited to playing at hooker plus he has just signed a contract extension
