Nearing the end of his deal now, can probably give the DCE one a pass mark, even though it hasn’t delivered a grand final. Taumalolo seemed to be a decent deal before Payten got there and started fiddling
yeah, I was thinking should an NRL club be stupid enough to let me be CEO, who would I commit that money or time to - the only one I can think of tbh is Cleary, probably a little shorter and hoping he can age like DCE *which I reckon is a good bet as long as he retains the motivation to be smashed week in week out), but that'd be a win now pay later scenario. I guess with likely expansion etc top level halves (of course Brown looks strictly a 6 imo) are going to be rare - but even as a 6 he's behind quite a few without even thinking hard - Munster, Luai, Burton easily, Walker (prob both) and Mamm too, and then from there I guess people could debate but atm even veterans like Hunt and Brooks on short term deals are more appealing, and Hynes is really a 6 imo and a much more accomplished player - it's not a knock on Brown, he's obviously a talent, but Moses is the guy there, and it's a big gamble on potential compared to the likes of Luai
