viewtopic.php? ... sc&start=0 Thoughts??

i'm undecided, at first i hated the idea, i dont like him and think he is like danny orr, looks good in a poor team etc. The more i think about it though he may be someone who can do a half decent job for a couple of years until eastmond and co are ready to step up permanently. I'd rather long played for one more year if hes up to it though.

I'd say no, we've got plenty of possible young halves coming through like Eastmond, Smith, and Wheeler. Pryce isn't that old either plus Roby and Wilkin can both do a job in the halves.

He's too much of a hot head and not enough of a team player for me. I'd definitely say no to him, even acknowledging his kicking ability.

Once long packs in we dont seem to have a bad hair guy at the club, so Brough would fit right in.

I dont like his "criminals forehead" you cant trust anyone like that.

I know what you mean, neanderthal man head, ala Sinfield.

All he needs is some screws in the side of his head and you've got Frankinstein's love child.

I think if Saints sign another half-back (and I don't believe for one second that they will) you will see a few of our up and coming rookies being tempted away to other clubs.

We have some very exciting half-backs making their mark and who, with more first team game time, will certainly make it in Super League and at St Helens.

I think Brough is a good player, but I'd be pretty concerned about our approach if we signed him when we have 3 or 4 outstanding junior halfbacks on our books.

If the club signed Brough it would mean that these superstar young halfbacks we keep going on about aren't as good as they are made out to be.

Eastmond is particular seems to have been ushered into being Long's long term replacement on here, despite never stringing a run of consistent performances together.

And there-in lies the problem. The knack of molding a good player is all about integration. Every talented positional player requires individual coaxing and blooding to achieve their potential. On a level playing field it would take more man hours than is recognizable in a superleage scope.

Talent will out.
