| Would never knock Brown as he has been a tryer for the Giants giving 100%, however he is not the great player/match winner needed at 6 hence the move to 13 this year, I think he realises this himself, especially his kicking game which he always does more in hope than anticipation that something will come of it. Would have been devastated if it had been Broughy going as he is a true match winner, Browny can be replaced and would be a damn site harder to replace Brough. Wouldn't mind seeing Lunty back with us next season with new captain LOD at loose forward. Good Luck to the lad for next season and can see been one of many at Widnes in a complete rebuilding job.
Right let's move on, good luck to the lads for tomorrow, let's have a trip to the big smoke in the challenge cup and win some silverware. Wire were a bit presumptuous singing the "Ke sera sera" song today, let's get to the semi final in massive numbers stick it up them and make them look a bit silly. 2012 Year of the Giants

| Quote Mable_Syrup="Mable_Syrup"Desperate for what? I have no loyalty to kev brown? You see what you want to see and hate the fact others disagree with you. You come across as a rather bitter individual marsden'"
Desperate to bag the Giants. Your desperation seemed to coincide with Raleigh going to wakey. You appear to post on the wakey board since AR went there. He was not good enough to play in the back row for the Giants and some utter numpties bellyached about him being played prop. It was nasty NB. Now even a second rate coach like agar knows raleigh is nota back rower. No doubt Nathan brown is to blame for AR playing prop at wakey
Try not to project your obvious bitterness onto me sweetie.
And now KB is leaving you cannot get to the forum quick enough to bag Thewlis. But the way you have done it shows how dim you are. The idea that KB could be forced to go to Widnes against his will is hilarious. No intelligent person would believe that a club could coerce KB, with an agent like Andy Clark, into a move.
As for suggesting I hate the disagreement of others...au contrare....you could not be more wrong, think about it.

| Shame to see him go as he's been a good servant for the giants,but such is life he now moves on to pastures new for whatever reason.
Dont think he ever hit the heights he was once touted as but a good player none the less,lets hope we have a quality replacement at 6 because,IMO thats where we are lacking serious quality, good luck kev thanks for all you've done for us

| Whilst KB was not the wonder that the SKY players agency loves to tout, he was an effective cog in a top 4 side. His move out of the halves was probably a wise move long term, but move out of the club is a little unexpected to say the least.
I also think a transfer fee does not help nessasarily. Unless you can identify better elsewhere that you can actually get hold of. Lets say the fee for Brown is £1million just to exagerate the point, that £1million could attract other clubs to offer players on a transfer fee basis, but then Huddersfield still have to fit them under a cap. So they can say go to oz and offer money to cameron smith as why they may have the money to tempt the club, the salary cap would not attract the player.
If Brough was to go, Huddersfield may have alot of cash to spend but with no realistic targets to spend the money on. With KB gone, what targets do you think huddersfield would aim for??? Would it be a half, a LF, or another position????

| Well good luck to him, I can't for the life of me see why people think sportsmen are any different to the general public.
If my wife said she wants to live closer to her family for the sake of their children and a financially better offer came along, why would you turn it down.
Yet being a sportsman means you have to be selfish and say no, my career comes first, these guys have to do what's best for their families.
KB going whilst was a bit of a shock initially, clearer has been thought out, for us to get a fee and 'free up' a chunk of salary cap are the plusses, I'm now excited about who we bring in.
KB does a good job, but is he truly champion class? would we be better off with a change? who know?
One thing I will say is this is his last real opportunity to win something in his career, I don't think Widnes will in the next 4 years, so if he wants to win something he needs to do it with us, in the next 5 months, and I'm sure will be extra determined to leave with something.
PS KB you go with my best wishes, but bl00dy win us something before you go aye.

|  Now now Mabel-be a good girl -- please dont contradict the club spin doctor !
It could get you banned!!
(there agin -a simple name change -and hey- youd be back!!
Now BTTopic
Kevin I believe was signed as a centre --but as one poster says previously -the shuffleboard symptom meant a change of scenery that IMO never really came off
In these other positions he seemed to drift back wide "Like" an extra threequarter giving the ventre/wingman less room to work and some of the moves became cluttered
Perhaps he may slot back in at Widnes at centre where (maybe)HE feels at home !
And if hes also happier "at home" its a win win solution
Good luck to the lad!!
Whats next ?

Yes we were the same and we were relegated eventually fair enough. Nothing against Widnes but facts are facts.

| not happy kev brown is leaving... top player...was shocked
building him up into a loose forward for us has been a waste now
i can see tommy lee being the new loose forward for us
on the plus side we will now have some cash to go to work with...
cant see brough going, every club wants him but that would be suicide by giants
