With regard to brough, we knew the risk when we signed him, at his best he is/was, all that we needed, however, his age with injuries especially as old war horse injuries, wear & tear stack up means we knew or should have known @ 38 - 39 & 40 next year, to expect a full season of all games was never going to happen, huddersfield knew it, we paid our money & took our chance, now its not worked, we haven't the bottle to change things !
I am not against brough, but ask your self & be honest to your self, @ 38, did you expect two seasons = 54 games that going up to 40, that he would be able to perform at top draw level ? I don't know of any other SL club that would & certainly no NRL club would ?
Because we cannot change things, it's going to get very embarrassing with other onlookers laughing !

Brough was our best player tonight hahahaha. He kicked the ball out on the full twice but that said his kicks generally gave us a few chances to score and he scored himself. Bizarre to pick him out.

Brough and miller simply can’t play together, it’s as simple as that. He may have the best kicking game in RL but his general in play ball handling skills are way off. He needs to release the ball to miller a lot later and draw defenders in, they are simply sliding along and nullifying the threat.

After the game Powell mentioned Broughy's kicking as the main problem Cas had tonight.

Who got man of the match ??

Brough for Wakey.

Redic OP

Brough along with tanginoa and koppy were are best players tonight

Hampshire was awful tonight
His specialist play is to run side ways until he has run out of options then tackles himself

So it's now Danny Broughs fault that collectively we're a total bag of sheeeeite?

Miller worse than brough, wood also been awful. Hampshire not on the same script. Sad but true.

No, it's the entire spine who have consistently failed to live up to their own expectations. Added to that a slow and immobile pack, and a set of backs who look like they have no idea how to defend, and you end up with a complete mess

Oh hang on you lot wanted him I said when we signed him his legs have gone, he simply can’t do what he used to do but he’s the final piece of the jigsaw to get us to Wembley or the play offs but never mind he’s here next year with the rest of dads army we’ve signed

Brough was the architect of the little pieces of success we had last night. Others let him down.

at the end of last season rocky and miller were developing as a partnership we finished 5th and we’re playing some decent stuff. We tried to fix something that wasn’t broken and yes there kicking games needed a bit of development but it was fine. Anything less than 5th is now failure or going backwards. Brough as been good but we need some pace and as for miller I don’t know what the hells up with him all I can think of is Brough is just too dominant

I could of stood finishing less than 5th after last seasons development of Rocky and Miller and could understand the inclusion of Reynolds as back up but I never understood the inclusion of a player that is past his prime, frustrating to see this season unfold into ciaos

Not only past his prime but also known for upsetting the apple cart , so to speak ! Giving Miller the captaincy and then Brough the vice captaincy has been another major mistake imo . Brough has never listened to anyone let alone a rookie captain . As much as I would have loved to have been proved wrong , I don’t think he’s been the signing we were all hoping for .

This season should have been about establishing Ryan Hampshire and Max jowitt as regular long term 1st teamers at Wakefield at half back and full back respectively. With miller running the show. Instead we sign an aging whinging has been who's done nothing other than send us to 2nd bottom if we're lucky. I've seen him stifle both Gaskell and brierley at hudds now he's doing it here. I think we've lost Hampshire and probably jowitt too, which is a massive disappointment for me. Especially as it now seems any sl oap can rock up at Belle vue for an easy 2 year deal.

Chester clearly has a major issue with Jowitt.

Brough will still be here next year and for the privilege we get to pay his full wages rather than Huddersfield paying a portion like this season. Good eh?

It’s playing out with him exactly as i said it would. He’ll start ok but will want to be top dog and eventually push everyone else's nose out of joint by trying to take control of everything, trouble is he is now past his best and can no longer do that. Chuck in an overrated, seemingly undroppable, stand off at the side of him and there’s a major problem.

and here's me thinking Leeds had problems with contracts

The referee!!!!

To be fair he did keep us in it.

Looking at the game last night brough was one of the least of our problems ,there were younger players than him grasping at shirt collars and thin air in vain attempts at tackles which led to our downfall .No he wasn’t at his best but he was far from the worst for effort .There was a mountain of a man who had one bullocking run all night in which he trampled all before him,then disappeared bar the odd collar grab.There were seasoned wingers and centres that were embarrassing in both attack and defence .Overall we got what we deserved out of that game which was jack all .Think teams have found out we have a very soft underbelly, put enough pressure on us and we buckle ,how much this is the players or coaches fault I don’t know but something soon will have to give for the clubs sake .

Exactly that!!!!!!!

This is what we should have done this season but didn't WHY, Our attacking lines are so poor it;s like we don't know what to do next one of the better teams would have put on 20/30 points on Cas on friday with the amount of possession we had on there line and to make things look worse their went down our end and showed how to create an extra man to walk in the corner and score.

hang on thought brough was the messiah early on this season?

but it was infact us handing you 6 points this season
