Dylan Brown is overrated

[JokerEel]

Yep, Ryles has done well to get on top of this quickly.

I agree it's good to get it done asap and not drag it out.

Let's say the club as a whole jumped on it quickly. One big family us Eels

 

[JokerEel]

Did anyone seriously think Drown was going to Rugby Australia.

Like thats going to be hard to beat to be the biggest piss take/fake news of 2025 and were only 21 days into the year.

Yep his management must not have gotten enough bites from NRL clubs.

 

[Twizzle]

if he goes to Union it will be the All Blacks, no one in their right mind would want to join the Wannabees

I daresay if Drown had done his ACL in spoonbowl and was out to round 13 this year.

This whole PO situation to round 10 would have already been activated in the off-season. No way his manager would have been shopping him around right now in the middle of an ACL rehab.

Not really. He is a poor kicker - which makes him useless for rugby in the halves. He could probably play centre in Rugby but that is it. He has made a dickhead of himself again I am afraid.

Sualii

Does he qualify for the ABs ?

“no one in their right mind would want to join the wannabees”

 

[Twizzle]

yeah, I already said that

 

[Noise]

Yea and like I said Sualii is someone in his right mind that wanted to join them.

well bully for you, except you didn't actually say that

I still think no one in their right mind would want to join that sinking ship but you're entitled to your opinion

I reckon it’s a pile of shit sport / organization too, but it seems if the money is right some mercenaries will go there.

I would rather watch Home & Away then a game Rugby Union.

Its the most dog shit sport on the planet with rules out of date with the modern world.

Its tried to destroy Rugby League in certain parts of the world so i have no sympathy for the carcass it is now in this country.

No different to AFL tbh.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Does it happen at the other clubs to the same extent?

It happens more at clubs that have underperformed.

Well yeah, that's the benefit of a PO. He won't get that security at another club. That's his conundrum to deal with.

I can watch the grand final. But it's a terrible game. So many points so a goal isn't that exciting compared to say a goal in football or a try in league. Its messy and no real set moves and the skills are limited. League is far more chess like. Pieces moving around but staying in position and planning moves. That gives viewers talking points and makes them engage even more. A great set move leading to a try or goal can be great to watch 100 x

Afl games can be over after 15 mins if a team kicks 6 goals early its shut the gate. And the game drags on for another 3 hours with a forgone conclusion.

In League unless the team puts 40 on in a half of footy you can still be in the game.

A 14-16 point lead can be run down quickly with momentum swings.

Hoof the ball upfield (with no offside rule)
Catch it
Have virtually uncontested chance to kick goal


Such a boring concept for a sport.
