Which time?

think you and others are being a tad disrespectful to a certain fullback we signed???? Obviously personal opinions vary and we all have our favourites but Id say it was pretty close and wouldnt like to call it!!!

What about a certain Mr Brad Drew as well Rodders

If Giants can come to an agreement over 2 players coming the other way then the deal is done - that's the reality of it. At 33 we have certainly seen the best of him and if the club are being offered a good deal then it would be hard to turn it down whilst Brough still has some market value.

Great player, loved watching him. But maybe the 'Brough-era' is over.

What players have been mentioned?

It may well be that this is nothing but idle speculation and people feeding others rumours and fears ( me included).

If so i am relieved as Brough is still our best player although only the second best i have seen after Brett Hodgson and just ahead of Brad Drew !!!!

What i would give to have those two back in Giants colours now !

From reading it, it is more the hateful and evil rumours that she wanted to put a stop to about their family lives - as opposed to a move to another team

agreed, thats what I thought.....we will have to see!

He's been the best and most consistent player we've had in the SL era. As captain he's second to none and leads the team by example and should be installed as soon as possible. Yes he does have quite a lot to say but going off some of the decisions we've had over the years by the refs then who can blame him as any of us who know rugby would do the same.

Hopefully these rumours will stop sooner rather than latter and it just concerns me how Giants fans can start such rumours when in the long run it will affect our team no end and make us a lot weaker. Once Brough is retired (hopefully still a Giant) from the game I'm hoping that we retain him as a coach as he's got a hell of a lot to offer with his experience, skill, reading of the game and his excellent kicking which should be retained and handed down to future Giants players.

I wasn't meaning to be disrespectful in any way. I rated Hodgson very highly, he was a class act, Felt much the same about Drew and DeVere, but all that said, IMHO Brough has had more influence on our performances than any of those three, There has been many a game where without him we wouldn't have scored a point. And how much effort has he saved the forwards with his boot.

If he has to go to Hull I wouldn't accept anything other than a deal that involved J Shaul, but then what say do we have. Another thing is People are talking about him as though he is going to fall apart in 18 months, What about J Peacock, and arguably the best forward in modern times S Menzies, Brough has some years in him yet.

Not sure hes coming to hull but if he did j shaul wouldn't be coming to you guys, j Thompson and another? if a deal can be sorted,

Great long term prospect Shaul I wouldn't expect Hull to let him go anywhere, I wouldn't let Brough go anywhere either unless it couldn't be helped.

according to some luke robinson has said on radio hes in talks with us? might be bulls.it who knows

Yorkieboy52 I don't think the rest of the fans in your living room would be pleased with you closing the curtains. At least you would have a full house for once, Season ticket holders only of course.

Depends whether he was talking about Wakefield Wildcats or Huddersfield Wildcats

Brough is contracted to the giants till the end of 2018.

Unfort contracts don't mean diddle squat today

In some circumstances that's true, but having the money saved from ferres and our vice captain Robinson- both on big contracts we have plenty left over after the brierley purchase. We don't need the cash so I don't see the incentive to sell you our best player.
Just because you want to buy him doesn't mean he's going, and the way he's playing for us ATM it doesn't look like he's looking to get out either.

With that length of contract, Even worst case, Mr Bank of Hull would have to come up with something a bit special you would think.

not sure we will have much money left to be honest after the brierley purchase. ferres wage will have gone to him.

robbo still contracted to giants so still paying him too.

Brierley won't be earning as much as ferres- an established SL player and an England international! (We will have also got a bigger transfer fee as he had a couple of years left on his contract.) although we are still paying robbo it's off the cap.
What worries me is the panicking that seems to be going on- bringing in tansey for 2 games, bringing in foster and not playing him even though Murphy is having a mare, looking at Danny tickle ffs!

Panic buying or crisis management? We were without a recognised fullback so made perfect sense when you think about it. The Brierley deal didn't happen overnight, so this was obviously a stop gap.

WE DONT NEED A SECOND ROW!
If we were looking at someone of the calibre of LOD then yeah- but Widnes don't want him even as back up!!!!!! That should say he's not good enough for us.
I'm so annoyed we are even considering this signing!

I'm in agreement will Jools, Tickle isn't what we need now. The fact Widnes have let him go, should give all warning to stay away, maybe a few years ago but back row is looking manageable. Upfront I would where we need reinforcements the most
