In answer to the question: Is Brough over rated? My answer is no. He is rated highly and his skills are appropriate for that standard of rating.



In respect of the comments of how he plays, if that's the game plan then that's how he plays.

He has a great long kicking game, a good long pass, and has speed to go the length as he has shown a couple of times recently, BUT if the game plan is for Martin to kick the short kicks near the line and for Brough to spread the ball from first receiver near the line rather than run or kick then it doesn't matter how good he is at the other stuff.

I would agree about Danny not 'taking on the line'. He is a very good player, but thought he might be tempted to have a go at the Hudds line on Sunday. His kicking game was awful by his standards, but he has a lot more defensive work to do than say Long or Burrow, but no more than Myler
