I said elsewhere, I doubt Brough would stand the discipline at Wigan.josie andrews wrote:I hope we aren't either or Danny 'Neanderthal' Brough :sly:29wes28 wrote:Just read the same thing, really hope we are not after Chase though!
Would have him back at Wigan definitely.stevo38 wrote:michael dobson had a crackin game last night
I would have him before Chough/Brase without a doubt. In my view, it was him not Noble who saved us from relegation in 06. Pity he went back home after that. Still, its worked out OK for us!yokozuna wrote:Would have him back at Wigan definitely.stevo38 wrote:michael dobson had a crackin game last night

I don't think coming here will improve either of these players game
We do have a good few quality lads waiting in the wings, the problem is they are not ready to step up yet. Waney would have identified Mellor or Powell, unfortunately both have suffered serious injuries in the last two years and we can't be certain, at this stage, whether they will make a full recovery. Mellor has certainly lost pace, which was his greatest asset. His time at Widnes will give the coaching staff time to ascertain if he can make the grade. Powell has yet to resume playing following his bad injury, as a result he has/is probably going to miss his opportunity of playing first grade this year. With such a scenario facing Waney, can he take the chance of not recruiting a halfback? I would suggest not.
We may need a stop gap until the likes of Taylor, Williams and Hampshire emerge.
Finally, I have evey confidence that our coaching team could improve any player therefore I would not dismiss either Chase or Brough on this basis.
Whatever happens I am sure that we will still be competing for the major prizes. After all, the rest of the teams are currently light years behind Wigan based on current performances.
