Yes, he did.

I new contract was agreed with their ex coach, Stone.

However, in the press at the time, it did say that moving forward wasn't part of the new coach's plans, so maybe there has been some kind of player compromise deal arranged.

They have signed a new half back yesterday, and I am sure they were also looking at bringing Drinkwater in too

Grix +1. Don't know who though...

We didn't need to offer them anyone for Brough, the fact that Grix is going to opposite way (if he is) is nothing to do with the Brough deal. I am told that it's another great bit of business by the club wereby Hudds will be paying a percentage of his salary. Just so happens Chester wanted Brough and Woolford wanted rid.

Who told you that??

Excited if true. Still has best left foot in Rugby and cant wait to watch him back in the Red white and blue. Get what everyone says about his attitude but i wish he'd have played for us more and still cant understand why he never played for England

Are you trying to say he’s lying??

A member of the playing squad, tbh I take everything anyone says with a big pinch of salt, even yourself... No offense but you have denied to myself in person that we as a club had even talked with Tyler Randall and his signing was announced a few days later. I don't blame you one bit for that, it's no one's business especially if there isn't ink on paper but as I say that is the reason I take everything with a big pinch of salt but this is a forum and people hear different things.

I reckon I was on the money old boy

Because he decided he was Scottish.

Broughy wouldn't play second fidal to rangi chase

If that's a question for me, I'm guessing.

Using the rules of conkers, I would suggest that Brough is worth 1.5 Grixes, so Hudds would want something else in the deal.

In my view, we are doing Hudds a favour, so if anything they should be sending us Brough +1.

So by general concensus could we have the left boot/kicking game and the deft little passes and leave the mouth in Huddersfield???

And on the flip side could cost us games singlehandedly through his dummy spitting and bad temper.

I understand that Grix is going to Shudds as a member of their training staff rather than as a player.

They do want him in the coaching team, but it's a playing contract primarily.

No matter what happens, we have to go along with the decisions of CC and MC. They've been quite good so far! I have huge reservations about brough. But I'm neither a coach or owner of a RL club.

I can't remember as much controversy over an incoming individual to the club since Richard Agar's imminent arrival. I think Broughie has had the best rugby league "head" as a player during the Super League era. He has that ability to win a close game. Something that Finny couldn't do.

He did.

People forget that - it was against the Exiles wasn't it, maybe why they don't remember.

I have the added luxury that I can deny everything right up until the moment every piece of paperwork is SIGNED. Then we announce straight away, so before that is guesswork and speculation, and after that is fact!

Rule of bonkers more like.



I have no idea how you work that out. Brough has zero value in the transfer market. All Hudds want is to get shut for whatever reason. If Grix goes the other way it isn’t a transfer it’s two end of career players sorting there last seaon out.

Ten years ago Brough was worth about five Grix but now they are both worth nothing. I imagine neither are of any interest to any other club but ourselves, Hudds and maybe London. This is the problem as some people insist on looking at the Brough of 25 not 35.

He will only be of interest to us because there is an incentive in it for us I suspect.

I can see no logic in any player going the other way unless we were desperate to dump them. I can’t see any reason why Hudds would want such a player.

Put simple Hudds want Brough of there books and will probably accept any interest including giving Grix a coaching roll.

The people moaning about the proposed Brough signing are probably the same ones moaning about our last tackle options last season.

Up the Trin

Brough will put 100% in every game, and has in fact aged very well, he doesn't have the same blistering pace he used to have, but he's still plenty quick enough for a half. unfortunately, what hasn't aged well is his temperament. Where most older players make up for losing their skills with an 'old head' Brough is still the same hothead he has always been, in fact he has got worse in this regard with the number of times he was sin binned for mouthing off at officials testament to this fact. Brough will get you to big games, but not win them, when the stakes are the highest he can't control his emotions and play to the best of his abilities, this i believe is why Woolford has got rid. He will definitely get you more league points next season, he's still the best kicker in superleague, but don't expect to win things with him directing play.

Spot on, as I stated before Brough is the biggest choker in SL. I couldn't agree more about the big games. Over to you CC.

Assuming of course this is even happening.
