Unfortunately Brough has a very morngy side to him and has declared himself unavailable for selection, probably not wanting to get injured to protect his new contract at hudds. Don't think hes been very professional in his handling of this particular situation. Tronc going great for us by the way, what a machine!

I'd have no problems with Brough playing if he had agreed to sign for someone but was staying for the remainder of the season. It's happened on numerous occasions before Korki recently, Solomona and loads of others have put plenty in knowing they were going somewhere else.

If it's just for the sake of one game though, there is absolutely no point whatsoever.

I agree upthecats but I think Brough has made his bed, seems like he doesn't want to play for us so there's no point in playing him. Would have been nice for him to have one last farewell to say thanks to the club, jk and the fans but obviously he thinks he's bigger than that so good riddance I say.

And sign a new contract with his current club last minute when all looked doomed ?? Ive seen strangers things happened especially when the grass isnt always greener on the other side ??

Announced at the match today purhaps ???? Wishful thinking ????HHmmmmmmm ?????

I would guess that it is to do with the fact that we have a lot of our key players who were cast offs from other clubs and who were not valued too highly by other clubs when we got them Brown, Robinson, Wild or kids and lower league players we signed up on long deals Lunt, cudjoe, lawrence, Kirmond or players who would rather play for us and get paid less than the market value ie Eorl.

Even with brough we are paying him about £125 K than Bradford are paying Orford. I still reckon this takes us to less than Wire, saints, Leeds wage bill but i would guess we are at the top of the salary cap now.

I would have to agree, nice for them to get a another chance and repay it.

Thanks for the insight, I didn't realise you had that much headroom. Hopefully, some of the young lads we have coming through at Wakey can make the step up to SL and we can emulate the same thing here.

Can see where you're coming from but think the likes of brown wild and Robinson will be on good wages now. They went to Hudds with a point to prove and proved it well so will have had increased contract offers. Obviously you have room for brough otherwise he wouldn't be signing for you.

Just to put a few things straight.
Everything had been agreed and hands shaken for Brough to come to us in exchange for Cash and a player. The player you was getting was told to attend training on Monday morning for Wakey. Within half an hour of the hand shakes, the Giants player was told by phone call not to bother cos Wakey had changed their minds. For every day Wakey mess the Giants about it's costing them(Wakey) a grand a day.

Oh and Wakey told Brough he's not playing today and not to attend the game.
Hope that helps.

Judging by the half time score today looks like you do not need Brough.

Peanuts mate.

Good for them, they did the right thing.

Ive heard your getting £50,000 and Gregg McNally.
You heard it here first!

I've heard more stories than Jackanory told over this, you may well be right, who knows.

Calm down dear, it's only Salford. It's been a long time since a team that bad has turned up at Belle Vue!

Wakey 2 weeks ago?

Words right out of my mouth

Nah Mate, it's Jonathon Thurston and 2.5 Million, from a reliable source

Why is it costing Trinity money, Huddersfield don’t do transfer payments, do they?

Told you not to tell anyone till it was announced

Did I ever say that? Think you are mistaking me for another poster who said that.

He twisted my arm, but don't tell anyone else, it'll be our surprise!

I never said YOU did.

Just alluding to the smug comment of some 'knowledgeable’ Huddersfield fan.

Visiting.



(Us against London Skolars a few years back though, that was pretty bad!)

I thought we played allrite there was a lot of crash bomb tries nothing amazing. It will be a different game friday. Our build up play was very slow. I honestly think Salford were that bad I don't blame Salford fans for not coming and watching that shower they were awful!Brough will be a miss there is no getting away from it but we will soldier on and leave the money grabber to his own devises !!! UP THE TRIN !!!
