A good player but for me not the type of player Wigan need at the moment.

Spot on. We need an organising half back, with a good long kicking game, to complement Sam, and KB isn't one.

like i said - don't know if there is any truth in it at all.

Would he be brought in to replace decon - would they cost similar on the salary cap?

Problem with KB is that he is still the same player he was when he left us. Mistake prone.

Good player in a winning team, not the sort of player you'd expect to get all the players fired up and make a comeback.

He wasn't good enough for us when he left.

So either:

We have actually gone backwards and are now worse than when he left (we're currently top of the league, so that isn't true)

Or

He is a greatly improved player from his days at Wigan (which isn't true either)

So, no - I don't think that we should be looking to sign him again

I can only think of three players who we have bought back to try to improve the team and maybe only Keith Holden in 1958 was a short term success. Bill Ashurst and Dennis Betts never re-created their former glories. I can`t bring to mind any other players who have come back to play for Wigan, are there any that anyone else can remember?.

Brown is on his way to Oz when his contract expires.We certainly dont want or need him.
