Brad Drew for me seems to come to mind, don't think we got any way near his best out of him.

That is a really good shout. He wasn't awful for us but he was never the player who used to tear us a new one when he playey against us.

That was just an age and injury thing.
And the fact our team wasn't as good as the Giants team he played in.

Not sure I agree with the quality of team he played in argument. He played for us for 2 seasons, 2008 and 2009. In 2008 we finished 8th which was 2 places above Huddersfield, in 2009 we finished 5th which was 2 places below Huddersfield so I think we were on a similar level.

But he played for Giants 2005 to 2007.
They had internationals in their team. Got to Wembley and made the playoffs

Wasn't there rumoured to be a clash of personalities between Drew and Brough?

Re: Disappointing players : Tue Oct 04, 2022 6:56 pm  

BD was in competition with Obst at hooker and Brough at jhalf back so didn't get a very consistent run. Both Sam and Danny were at their peak during Brad's tenure.
