The problem is he is old and showing signs of breaking down. It's hard to put a value on him. If teams were confident he could play 20 games he'd still be worth plenty, but as they say, the best ability is availability.

Twiz has a surprising turn of pace when it is Beer O’Clock and he is stinging for a super dry.

Good hands too. Can carry 4 pints without spilling a drop.

He’d be a shithouse centre though. Spends most of his time drunk.

Very silly commet

Townsend has 32 from 47 games though, so even his stats are far superior. Moses has 43 from 55 games. Gutho 38 from 58. But I think Pou pointed out that Brown had more possessions than Moses last year, maybe even over the last two years. So I dunno but Brown seems to be lacking in this regard.
yeah but being first receiver just passing it to the outside dudes is a possession - which drown does alot of .... again hard to judge that stat

He's played just 3 fewer games than Brown over the last three seasons. And given the difference in those stats he should be worth a fair bit more still.

don't get me wrong, I was more excited by Jrthar on sunday than i have been by drown lately .... but i reckon drown isnt as bad as those stats appear
Yeah I agree it's probably not quite apples with apples but the difference is so great I think we can read something into it. And yeah, was very happy and excited by Jrthur's debut. Looked like he belonged.

D.Brown is average. That's fine. Except he costs 650k while W.Smiths on about 150k and is more creative.

Which proves my point about expecting too much from a 20 year old. You’re pulling out stats from 150 game players with 8-10 years on Dylan.

Which also proves my other point that everyone expects the next young kid to be a once a generation player. News flash ! You get one every generation.
Dylan Brown is getting more money than Sam Walker will be next year. It doesn't matter how old either of them are. They need to be playing to their pay grade or they will cop criticism.

I hear what you’re saying.
Oi Walker! Settle the f**k down! You’re ruining it for everyone!
