Myler is going so can't see why Brough would be a target. Will be interesting to see the Solomona Atkins partnership fire up again at Wire, it was a great combination for you but can it spark again given Solo's advancing years and injury problems.

I didn't mean Wire were after Brough, I just meant we were competing with all other clubs' offers and would only offer increased terms to one of Atkins and Brough. Makes sense if that's the case.

Brough still has a year left on his current contract and Atkins two years so why do we have to improve their deals. Also Tronc, Morrison, Newton, and allegedly Millard arent exactly coming for a laugh, Point being if Kear is getting rid its because Kear wants to not because he has to.

I thought Atkins cames to us as a 'make-weight' as part of the solomona deal?

No, that was Ferres.

Whatever anyone thinks the sad fact is that potentially good as Atkins is his going will have little effect on the team. He will be easily replaces because he simply has not moved on in the last season or so. That's not to say he won't, he probably needs a change. But for us he has not become the lethal strike weapon we hoped for, in fact Gleeson is often the more clued up of the two.

As I say he is not a bad player at all and it's a shame he is going but he is not pivotal to the team and can be replaced IMHO with minimum fuss.

Must make clear I'm not bagging him because he is leaving I'd preferred him to stay but I'd have preferred Snitch to stay far more, ho hum. Warrington on the other hand are getting a player with potential and I wish them both well.

Some one from Hull was telling me that Broughy was going in a swap deal with Cookie. Broughy still lives in hull and cookie keeps falling out with morgan. I thought it amusing but i've stopped laughing now

It's just speculation it all is.

because if we improve the contract now we sign him up for longer

best for both parties.

Well thanks for that pearl of wisdom

I never thought of that.The post from CL was about both Brough and Atkins because you have said him and not them presumably you mean Brough and accept that Atkins is on his way. Do you think that Wakefield arent interested in keeping Brough by offering him an improved contract or could it be that there is one on the table waiting for him, it might be too much for you to take in but my money would be on the latter hth.

It could well be the case, i'll wander in later and have a gander.

No he dosent was in ridings other day and my mate saw him in asda in wakey tuesday so what does all this mean

That he works in Wakefield?

If he got his frozen stuff at asda in wakey, it would defrost by time he got to hull



So he lives in wakey area

Depends how fast he drives

He lives in one of Teds Waterfront flats, HTH.

So is that in the wakefield area



Bet your chuffed you know that, you know his room number too

You would be better off revising your predictions

Yeah sure, thats why i have more points than you

And I have noticed your not giving me a chance to catch up either

He's got a car ?

He's backing you up isnt he? Why the sulk?

For what its worth (tin hat on)

I hear he has bought a house in Wakefield (very near teds flats), and his partner has enroled on a course at Wakefield College starting next year.

And none of thats from his Aunty!

he lives in wakefield area

His wife is from Hull but I believe he and his wife live at Chantry Waters or Ted's flats as someone put it so thats pretty much Wakefield as far as I'm concerned. .
