| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"I was a big fan of Kevin Brown during his first stint at the club and was sad to see how it all ended up for him here because I think he deserved better. He's a Wigan fan and he always gave his all but his confidence was shot to bits.
As for him coming back it all depends really. If he came in and Deacon went onto the coaching staff then imo we'd be in a stonger position because Deacon doesn't look like his body is upto it anymore. I probably would want more of an organiser to come in as a like for like replacment for Deacon but if Maguire and Wane want Brown then thats fine with me. I see good signs in both Sam Tomkins game and Tommy Leuluai's game at the moment which suggest they are really developing their organising games and both have time on their sides to continue that.
A partnership made up from Sam, Leuluai or Brown in any order would be fine by me and all 3 could be at this club for a very long time which gives us stability.'"
Amen to that.  |

While I agree with pretty much everything you said there, I'm just wondering where you think all three fit into the current team should thery all be fit at once. Like I said previously if I was Brown I'd only be looking to leave Huddersfield for a guaranteed starting berth to further my chances of getting picked for England, which I don't think he'd get at Wigan. Not at half back anyway |

Kevin Brown is a fantastically talented player albeit a bit 'maverick and inconsistent' at times , but i'm sure with the right mentorship from someone like deacon he could become a great player for Wigan

He'd be fine, we currently have enough scapegoats. |

A combo made up from any of the 3 would be superb imo but we could have room for all 3 starting with options like Leuluai at 9, Sam at 1 and Brown at centre.
I think the most likely option would be for Brown to start at 6, Sam at 7 and Leuluai either at 9 or hooking from the bench but it would be nice to have options.
I doubt this signing is a goer mind. |

Quote wigsey="wigsey"On his way back to Wigan according to League Express.
Will he be treated any better by the fans this time ?
When he left he had turned from a great prospect to a player who had his confidence shot and who the crowd detested.'"
Our season could be getting worse...rumour could be true?

That thread seems largely to be a response to this thread, which is nearly all speculation. League Express are notorious guessers when it comes to this sort of thing.
I wouldn't worry about your so-called salary cap breach, either. That piece of info, I note, comes from a guy with 13 posts to his name. The cap is live, so, if signing Brough had put your lot over the cap, it wouldn't have been allowed.

Lets be honest after the Melbourne debacle the salary cap speculation/horse will be rife. Theres not much point any of us speculating about the cap because we dont know the facts. Huddersfield need to stop their boat rocking quickly before it sinks, it seems its one blow after another for them.

I know we're not really supposed to talk about this, but I can't help thinking if the main problem is the ongoing investigation of so many Hudds players for an alleged criminal offence.
No professional sports team could maintain its levels of intensity with that kind of distraction in the background. |

Without a doubt that will be affecting them. Look at Steven Gerrard this season over in the footy, hes been e by his standards and a lot of it is down to off the field shenanigans. |

Of course it will have affected them, and if it is going to trial, it will continue to affect them. |
