Quote jools="jools"Why? Unless brough is also crocked and retiring!!!! Can't see is dropping Ellis?'"
Brough has been carrying injuries for a long time. When you are younger they are easier to manage.
AS you get older there is no other alternative than rest. Also when you get a knock it takes longer to get over. Brough is 33. He is not young . He is not finished but his time is coming particularly the way he plays. He is another brave player like Robbo. He needs to be protected from himself otherwise he will reduce his career length. That is why i said he should retire from playing for Scotland.
Robinson was a complete crock last season and had a discussion with Anderson about retiring before last season ended.
Why we went into the current season with him is beyond me.
I am not certain about Brierley But he does have some of the skill set we need.
As long as he is playing with another organiser at half back he is worth a punt.
