Still can’t believe how many Wakey fans failed to pick Brough in their SL dream team when we did that thread on here (think there was one on Wakey FB page too). Unfathomable
Ellis is the best all round player we have produced flowed by Westwood. We’ve actually produced a fair number of forwards but nearly all were utility and that’s fine.
We have only produced IMHO two specialist players of genuine world class potential. They are Danny Brough and Tom Johnstone.
I’m with you it baffles me, it was obvious with Brough from the start, ditto TJ.
We still have fans who don’t seem to realise what we had with Brough and what we still have (hopefully) in TJ.
We will not see a winger like TJ for another 20 years at least maybe never, just look at his try highlights video. Forget the injuries and stop looking for minor faults the kid is a genius at times, able to regularity score tries that virtually no other player on the planet can!
I don’t think we will ever have another Brough.
I’m afraid that if you didn’t play in the sixties or you’re older than Nigel Bell you just don’t register. Or at least not until you’ve been retired for 30 years.
It’s been a privilege to watch them both develop from youngsters.
Note, I’d prefer TJ as a son in law
