Dylan Brown is overrated

[Twizzle]

Does Blaise have speed?
Never seen him in the open.

he seems to lack speed for mine although he could get quicker as he develops, he's very young

he does have a decent step though and I think he'd be better suited to playing nearer the ruck, centre or 5/8

The new coach may have to promise Barrett an assistant role though.

I am sure T-Baz would love to help the new coach that wouldn't want him on his staff.

Well Baz won’t have a choice if the new coach starts straight away , or there is some directives from him if he isnt there physically , I would have thought

Someone has just looked at the NRL signings tracker and worked out what a PO is.

Brown clause means he could actually leave Eels next year - The Sporting Base

Despite being signed through to 2031, Dylan Brown could actually walk away from the struggling Parramatta Eels if he activates a clause in his mega contract by Round 10 next season. The surprising clause, which appears before 2026 and then again before 2028 (if he stays) means the New Zealand...

Watch him chase Best last week.
Best is not a speedster.

Time for the peanut to go to fullback. If he fails there, he can go.

 

[Suitman]

As discussed in the game day thread - nope.

I reckon peak Andrew Johns would look shit playing in this team...

Well he is in his 50's.

Yep. He’s parking himself on one side of the field and either just shoveling the ball on or just taking hitups at 6. There is no creativity or play making going on.

 

[Once was Sparky]

With news as of late that Blaize will be playing fullback & Gutho at centre , could a gutho/moses halves combo work?
As for D Brown they saying play him at lock to which we have hopgood doing a good job at it.
i think why not trail D Brown at hooker ?

Dylan Brown is so overrated by all. The Olsen Filipaina of his generation.

Easily the most inconsistent player in our squad. Chewing up too much cap. Not enough bang for buck. If we could land someone like Galvin I’d cut him loose.

Told you guys. He’s a one dimensional flop. He can f**king go as far as I’m concerned. And yes, I’d take Galvin over him. In fact I’d be doing the swap for 2025.

RCG is our only player who isn't overrated so this thread title could basically be 99% of our roster

Dylbags can play, but he has proven without a doubt this year he can’t steer a team around and be a leader. He is a second fiddle who can be effective when we are rolling and picking his moments.

He needs the off-season, whole squad does tbh

RCG would’ve run down Grand Armee in the 04 Queen Elizabeth if he’d gotten a run.

Mate, plenty of us have been saying this for years. He’s a decent side kick, nothing more. Problem is we’re paying him enough to the dominant half. We could get 80% of his out put for about 60% of his salary. It’s a no brainer. He should be up there with Junior and Gutho to find new clubs if we’re taking a cost benefit approach.

 

[the phantom menace]

If Brown decides to escape he's free to talk terms with other clubs for 2026 from 1 November 2024 anyway, due to our shrewd inclusion of Player Options in his contract .

So probably no need to move him on earlier than it was probably expected to happen.
