Care to enlighten us as to why you think Gidley is a crook.

Because instead of passing the ball to Russell, who was stood in about 15m of space, in the last play of the grand final he decided to run the ball into three blokes?

I fail to see what that has to do with The facts that surround Kevin Brown but, yeah... Good one.

If Kevin Brown can't put half a shift in behind a pack that consists of: Graham, Hodgeson, Hill, Whitehead, Bateman and Burgess then that kind of shows just how below average he is.

Couldn't tackle a roast dinner, can only pass one way and made of biscuit. But that's ok.... Because he's got a mint kicking game. Jesus wept.

Maybe next year Matty Russell's ded good scoots from dummy half will change everything and give Brown loads of time to run across the line throwing outrageous dummies only for him to get banged, knock on, then spend two minutes sat on his knees looking round with that stupid bewildered look on his face as if its everyone else's fault that he didn't pass the bleeding ball.

the 'facts' that you provide against Kevin Brown very much appear to be your opinion.

So i wont be taking any notice of them.

Just saying you can't look past facts. Our edge defence was poor at best last season. I just don't see how signing him will take us forward.

- 32 years old.
- Injury prone.
- Jounrneyman.
- Underachiever.
- defensively soft.

The question has to be asked, why are Widnes so keen to offload their captain so late in the year?

The simple answer is....they're not, however....
Any responsible club who care about the warfare of the players, wouldn't stand in the way of him making a better career opportunity.
The only barrier to cross, is how much a sweetener the seller wants.

Briersy is probably guilty of only two of the things listed.

Kevin Brown has Played at Wigan, Huddersfield and Widnes. He's never changed and is still the same player, Signing him is a backwards step by the club and a huge disappointment.

Isn't he also Briers' brother in law? If we're not careful we could end up like Saints, with the back room full of past players and relations and mates.

If true this signing smack of desperation.

Gidley not passing that ball is right up there with James Child running on as a touch judge to call Myler offside in the 2011 semi final.

Re: Kevin Brown : Wed Nov 30, 2016 10:54 am  

I'd be ok with getting Brown. When fit I think he's one of the most creative halfs in the country, and is probably the closest to a Briers type half running round SL at present.

When fit would be the only major concern for me, he seems to struggle to string games together, which along with Gidley, could be a problem next season...

We've paid £100k allegedly.

Is he the best we could get ?
