I'll be at Woody Point!

I'll be at Woody Point!

I'll be at Scumcorp merkin!!!

I've already decided I'm having a sick day to prepare.

I'll be sick on the Saturday....

 

[hineyrulz]

I'll be sick on the Saturday....

I'm always sick the next days after watching the Eels, win.loose or draw.

There aren't many NRL fans over here but late last year I started working with a Broncos fan, and we are both pumped for next Friday.

Did Drink Drive Friday finally gain traction?

WA is very progressive. What people do in the privacy of their own cars is nobody else's business.

Good funny interview with Drown:

Ever get the impression that Dylan Brown does not really care about playing footy?

Hugely talented - but would rather run around Byron knitting Hemp T-shirts it seems.

no no no....

do you think a 16 year old would leave his family and country, to play footy if he didn’t care?

do you think a 18 year old wouId be physically ready for the NRL if they didn’t care and put effort into his training ?

do you think a 18 year wouId push himself so hard to beat Gutho he passes out and needs medical care, if he didn’t care?

do you think a 19 year wouId rehab 24/7 for several months to fix a serious back injury, if he didn’t care ?

do you think a 20 year wouId rehab 24/7 his ankle to return ahead of schedule for a finals match if he didn’t care?

just because he is fairly chilled / relaxed and shows some personality, doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.....

Well what's the answer?

I disagree.

His countless last ditch cover tackle attempts, and runs to the line where he got smashed, don't indicate to me a person who doesn't care.

He's laid back - that's all.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

He's laid back - that's all.

and he is only 20 and single.....so of course wants to enjoy himself during the off-season or in free time

anyhow he also does work with the disabilities house the eels support

I don't think he doesn't care, but I also think caring for 80 minutes on game day is much easier than giving a f**k for hour after hour, day after day through the long grind of an NRL season. It's one of the reasons teams with too much youth struggle with consistency.

 

[strider]

He does seem rather care free ... But most 20 ur olds probably are

 

[Avenger]

Dylan Brown is 20 FFS. He is a future superstar and already has two qualities that many don’t have at his age. The right attitude and great defence. I’d have him in the side before any other back besides the King.

And he runs the ball, generally a skill that can’t be taught or gained with experience or practice....

kicking, passing, “play making, can be gained / improved with practice / experience....

Well I for one hope he hurrys the f**k up because I find him to be completely predictable.

By no means a 'bad' half but he ain't the messiah he was bandied out to be so far. Gronk denigrates Cleary Jnr for being Jeff Robson Mk II. Dylan ain't no better. In fact he's inferior as he has no long kicking game.....

I'd say Dylan's swap to the right will increase the attacking presence on that side counteracting opposition defenses stacking Sivo's side. It's definitely an attacking rather than a defensive switch

 

[Joshuatheeel]

going and check what Cronk, Gutho, Thurston, Mahoney, Munster etc etc etc career / ability was like at 20 and what playing making skills they had.....Drown is probably in front of all of them in terms of performances at 20.....

BA briefly mentioned in one of his recent interviews that it will help with straightening up (Drown will ) the attack.

Additionally Drown is a better defender then Moses so could help with Blake / Fergo defensive issues
