That is the only opinion that counts as far as international selection goes.

Whether that opinion is right or wrong is open to a different debate.

It doesn't disguise the fact that kids (who between them probably only just managed a season of 1st team action last year) got picked ahead of him.

Fairly sure that, having played for Scotland the year previously, he had to wait 2 years to be considered for selection? Or is this wrong?

not sure on the time scale but some truth in having to wait, as for me i think once you have nailed your colors to the mast....

WIth broughs current financial issues, he is unable to get a mortgage, which leads me to believe that mr davy is to buy him a house and take the mortgage repayments out broughys wage. Huddersfield have offered him a 4.5 and a 4 yr deal depending when they can secure his services. They have also offered brough almost double what we have offered in wages.

The club says nobody is bigger than them, however sometimes in life you have a give a little more to get a lot more and doing so with brough i think we'd get that bit more.

we always let a good player go then spend the next couple of seasons rebuilding and reshaping things on the field around whoever we bring in - who, generally, tends to not be as a good a player as the one we have let go....

It appears to me that we havnt done enough to keep arguably the best half back in SL !!!!

This is better than reading the Beano, DB is a RL player "supposedly" signing for Huddersfield Giants not an international footballer signing for Man Ure. If you're going to spread rumours at least make them believable.

Priceless

How about, Huddersfield have made an illegal approach for D.B for next season.

Maybe we have/maybe we haven't, whatever I very much doubt anyone on here knows the true facts. If we illegally poached him then I'm sure your chairman will contact the relevant authorities and report it, or perhaps he'll confide with a few of the "in the know posters on here first" who knows ???

Still think the "double salary", "buying him a house" and all the other far fetched rumours posted on this site are way off the mark, Uncle Ken's a business man not a charity.

Which is why he's letting a small time team play in his big shiny stadium running at a loss to get a crowd, of course
