WHat was impressive for Brown is he won the GF with no halves. His star halfback (Luke Walsh who killed it in the ESL) was out and Hohai got knocked out in the 2nd minute. He had 2 forwards ( I think one was Willie Manu remember him) playing in the halves. I know they played against 12 ment but having no halves doesn't help and it showed in their attack. Goes to show that Brown even when the chips are down can get his teams up not whinge that he did not have the roster or an aging roster etc. He makes it work regardless. He gets the best our of all his players.
Loved Manu when he was with us, added that extra mongrel & niggle on the field. Exactly the type of forward we need now, just a younger version of that would be nice.
