Brough game seems to have improved in the last two years, Agar also had him at York and was heavily involved in bringing him to Hull (I Think).

I like you would love to see a top class 7 been signed but have doubts that it will happen, so maybe this wouldn't be a bad thing.

If he signs we need to send big on a top FB or SO.

Brough is what ween right now......but wont happen, Kath will see to that! As she orchestrated his departure.....not sharpe as many believe.

We let Brough go because we had one of the best young half-back pairings around in Richard Horne and Paul Cooke (sorry but its true)

We also had a freak of a hooker who played 80 mins every game and tackled like a machine.

Brough was surplus to requirements at the time. He has certainly improved since the time he stuck at cas in NL1 because he couldn't get a SL contract.

If Hudds have offered 100k for Brough would this suggest that they have cooled on the Finch prospect, and what happens to Robinson?
If we were to go for Brough at 100k it should be in our range as we have saved the 70k on Reardon.
I'd take him if there wasn't anybody better available, but I'd go 'all in' for a top class Oz for next year, hopefully we are in with a shout on Finch.

Finch wont be signing for any club in this country, he signed for Melbourne Storm and made his debut this weekend against New Zealand Warriors.

Signed, but only til the end of the season

Think Reardon was £50k?

Not sure how much we may have saved on Byrne or how much cap space that freed up.

Broughy on his way to Shudds and Robinson could well be on his way to the kc, watch this space

I hope not but it wouldnt suprise me.

While not wanting to dismiss the Brough stuff out of hand...

Why would he want to leave Wakey? Why would Wakey let him go? He's key to their recent successes and they don't have a replacement of similar quality.

Well i hope he can play football!!

Wash your mouth out son

i dont think robinson is the ideal answer,
but never the less i wouldnt mind him at hull

I really hope we dont sign Robinson and I hope we wouldnt be interested in Brough either. Both are better than Thorman (I never thought Robinson was until I saw Thorman play for us) but we need a top 7, which Brough and Robinson are not. Signing players in this position who either arent good enough or injury prone is what has been our problem since Tony Smith retired through injury and just because both are better than what we have currently it doesnt mean we still wouldnt have a problem at halfback

Hull should have signed Dobson when they had the chance

We need an organiser not a running 7!!

Mate, this kid does it all. £100k per season???

Worth every penny

Should have kept James Webster then. Could have signed a lot worse, in fact you did.

That would depend on what we sign for next year, if we had taken Dobson on a 2 and half/3 year deal, that would mean we would be less likely to sign an Orford/Finch. If we end up with anything less then that standard for next season then i agree. If we do, then i disagree entirely.

Orford and Finch weren't in the frame last season (and probably aren't now) when Kath and Jimbo went to aussie to sign Dobson.

Face facts a second rate club will sign second rate players

Aye I agree, how is Chev Walker and Mills etc

Or Sherwin (I think we had a chance)

He is the one we should have signed.

I'd have even took Danny Orr compared to what we have now.
