Noble left bradford to try and dig wigan out of the threat of relegation to take over from the sacked ian millward and will have been paid hansomely to do that.

Danny brough, like him or not is a quality player,2013 man of steel,challenge cup winner and was one of three players nominated for the 2013 rilf international player of the year alongside greg inglis and sonny bill williams. To be nominated alongside two of the games great players says it all,so somebody thought he could do it on the big stage,but obviously not you as you say it amused you.

I don't care if he won rear of the year, it doesn't take away from the fact that when he has been tested at the highest level he's failed and let his temperament overrun his talent. I don't doubt he's a very good player and his kicking game can be second to none but he has a tendancy to lose it, and when he does he is no use to anyone.
As for MOS, that was made worthless the year Rangi won it. Rangi's biggest claim to fame is that every team he has been with have made massive improvements from the day he left.

Danny brough could be the greatest players ever to have played the game but if he refuses to play for England then what was Steve McNamara supposed to do about it?

I thought he only refused to play for England having previously being snubbed by MaNamara.

Sorry mate you have got it the wrong way round,brough had previously been picked for scotland,but said he wanted to play for england as scotland could never reach top international tournaments,then mcnamara got the england job and refused to pick him,so brough went back to play for scotland and as I said was nominated for the international player of the year alongside inglis and sonny bill,which basically says what a good player he is.For what its worth mcnamara picked that well known "englishman" rangi chase instead which says it all.

So because the coach never thought he was good enough to play for England he choses to play for Scotland then when he had a good season and was asked about playing for England he said no
Which to me says he refused to play and chose to play for Scotland instead

When Chase was picked, it was on merit and was deserved whether you like it or not.

Do you not think brough was entitled to a spot between 2010/2013 ? Who do you think were better halfbacks than him in those 3 years,you obviously think chase in 2012 which I would agree with but who else? Brown maybe ?

| I fervently hope the supporters of 'laughing frank's' team purchased their derby tickets after the Catalans victory whilst the South stand was near enough the pitch. I fear that stand is getting further away by the game.

| We stood & watched last year while others recruited. Now look. We can't afford to do that again. The anti tampering deadline is this month & no player will sign without knowing who the coach is going to be. Hope we know what we're doing.
