Remember him throwing a pass a yard in front of Dale Morton then bollocking the lad for not taking it!

Never forgotten that - Morton had a torrid season playing with the misters in a beaten side - got smashed to bits every week - but always gave it a go; the spray that Broughy gave him for not taking that wild pass was shameful.

He can't and if people on here think this bloke has anything to offer I despair. It's taken years to create an ethos that a player like this could destroy in weeks.

This I'm afraid if it happens will be CC Julian O'neil signing and that would be sad because I thought he was better than that and still hope he is.

I've got a very uneasy feeling about this possible signing.

If true this seems to me as a direct replacement for Liam Finn - an older head to control the game when needed, albeit IMO Brough has a greater upside than Liam.

If Danny Brough is the answer, what is the question?

I posted several weeks ago that Brough had told Shudds players he had signed for us seems this might have been on the cards then and adds credence to this latest version!!

Finn's upside was that he fitted in nicely with the club at all levels. Iffy early years but matured into a grown up.

I meant on the playing side.

‘If you could sign one player that might undo all the good work that has been carried out over the last three seasons who would it be?’

He isn’t as good at that anymore either.

Zac?

Brough may have a greater upside than Finn in your opinion. However, he has a much, much bigger downside as well, in my opinion.

Na not somwhere i go now esp with how they treat people

As anyone not thought brough may of changed his attitude as hes got older

It would be a calculated risk the club and coaching staff would be prepared to take to move us to the next level. On the playing side I still believe he can bring a quality we do not currently have. Some serious man management required to deal with him though. The upsetting the camp bit I don't really buy into to a greater level, its never as happy as you think it is from the outside. 30 egos competing for 17 shirts will never be without problems.

MC and CC know what they're doing with recruitment, I'll back whichever decision they make.

EDIT: Also, I suspect there isn't a plethora of half backs available and we need cover. That's presuming the Reynolds signing is not happening....

The same Danny Brough that got sent home by from the world cup by Scotland early less than a year ago you mean?

He’d have messed himself up before he’d have chance to upset anyone else!

Yes I have and that's why I've come to my conclusion FWIW.

Wasn't he their captain as well?

Could it even be a case that we are only looking at someone for one year as a stop gap.

We have no quota spots available, and there aren't too many viable British options available for 2019, could it be that a quota space is being planned to be freed up at the end of the 2019 season, and that there are more viable options to bring into the club beyond that

During this time, Broughy works with the halves we have, to help develop their games further, and maybe just puts a few good games together, and helps us to break that top 4.

Who knows??

But in MC and Chessie, I trust

Sure was.

Agree with most comments on here. Think he could unsettle the whole squad with his poor attitude. For a fair few years we've been a team lacking in big egos and brimming with team spirit. Hope I'm proved wrong though if he does sign.

This is the main issue for me. The one thing our players always talk about is team spirit and how the whole club is like a family....Brough has the potential to unsettle this.

However, after considering it, i think its a chance we should take. Realistically, without a new ground the club may potentially not have many seasons left. Brough brings something to the squad we have not had for years, an amazing kicking game, the ability to control a game, confidence, quality, experience and he can land a drop goal!

We have lost so many games over the years by 1-4...could he give us those?
