Completely agree. That first half was all him, friend of mine said if he was on our said, we could have been 20 to 30 points up. Unfortunately though, his sin binning, coupled with the introduction of Talanoa on the left edge was the only period of play where we looked really comfortable. Was a close knit affair other than that.
We scored most of our points when Brough was off the field, Hudds looked like scoring all the time when he had the ball in his hand. He showed his true colours though by getting sin binned and making it difficult for Hudds to win in the end.

Pretty sure we only scored 12 of our 37 points while he was off the field and they didn't look like scoring every time he had the ball or they'd have scored more than 4 in the 70 minutes when he was on.

We scored 24 points before he went off and 12 while he was off. So, no.
And Hudds didn't look like scoring every time he had the ball or they would have scored a lot more points during the 70 minutes he was on the field.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One
I've seen few really great games from brough and for every good game I've seen him play I've also seen him have at least one poor/anonymous one. He's definitely better than a lot of the halfs we've had since we binned him but that's not saying much and he'll be 34 at the start of next season and IMO not the player we should be looking for to replace pryce

No we didn't. We scored approximately one third of our points when he was off the pitch. No they never. The only scored one consolation try in the second half and considering he was on the pitch for 30 minutes that stat only suggests he wasn't as effective as you would like to believe.

Who is the player we should be looking for to replace Pryce? Subject to re-signing we have HTW, Dean and Abdull, Sneyd is contracted for another couple of seasons as is Carlos who can deputise. I could see some logic in bringing in an older experienced player for 1-2 seasons. He does have some reasonable achievements under his belt. 3 times Albert Goldthorpe medal winner. Man of Steel. Dream Team half back in 2 out of the last 3 seasons. And fitnesswise I think he's played 31, 26 and 32 games in the last 3 seasons. The discipline aspect would be my major concern.
