maybe we can sign tronce and cooke

that's a new one on me but I like it

But will he get us up and down the pitch, when DB off form or injured, like brad has done?
Not sure if it's that good of a signing, I can see that he's gonna add a lot, but will we miss brad more than well benefit from terry?

I'd agree if I though Drew would play often enough but I don't think he has 20+ games a season left in him. He must have missed 20+ in two seasons, and we didn't lose all the ones he missed.

agreed, but there's no guarantee that Newton is gonna play any more, and from the point of view of bringing on our youngsters, I think they could learn more from brad.
I am not saying I don't agree with the signing, just that we will have to rely on brough a lot more, drew gives us options, and has won us games, I hope Terry Newton (who I agree has been a class player and brings different attributes, from which we will benefit from) will do the same, only time will tell!

I think that is the advantage.

Newton brings something different to Brough. Drew takes something away from Brough....in my opinion only
