[SteveRugbyLeague]

Former Giants player Eorl Crabtree told Huddersfield Hub that Danny Brough is a Super League legend and the game has lost a great character on the pitch after his decision to retire.

Always enjoyed watching Brough play, incredibly skillful with a hell of a kicking game, also a proper angry little half back like they all should be. 

He was immense at Derwent Park for Scotland v NZ, was a pleasure to watch.

I couldn't work out why McNamara refused to play him for England

Was he international class in terms of top level nations

No doubt a fine SL player.

Similar player to Tommy Martyn and Lee Briers IMHO and they never really got a look in for GB at the time. 
 

I always enjoyed watching Danny Brough. Tremendous kicking game and a bit of a character.

I liked Brough but don't think he had the skillset of the two you've mentioned there. His kicking game was terrific though.

Briers should have played for GB IMHO.

Martyn played for Ireland(?) and had 2 knee reconstructions(?) Fine SL player who should possibly have played for GB.

Attitude/temperament. I felt he had a tendency to come up short in the big moments in a way that the likes of say Sinfield or Long never seemed to do.

A very fine player though and a tough competitor.
