Rumoured Targets 3

[Mr_Knightside]

It's the wrong move. Sharpe will be as good as Brown within a year. Could have cleared the dead wood contracts and bought an actual halfback. Been waiting to see Brown fulfill his potential for years. He hasnt improved in years. He isn't a halfback and never will be. Too much of a space cadet. Doesn't have the temperament to be a top tier halfback and all the hopium in the world won't change that .

TBF a lot of people said this about KP a few years ago, especially in 2022 after the way his season ended that year. Since then he’s been absolutely elite at everything he does. So I definitely don’t look at Brown and think that he’s just another guy who won’t fulfil his potential. In fact KP might just be the right guy for him to spend some time with given the similarities between them.

Who remembers when Mitch Pearce came to the knights and all the success they had?

Pearce was 10x the player brown is

 

[TheCrowe]

I’d obviously take Brown for Gamble, but we can keep both. I’d prefer to have Gamble for injury cover over Cogger.

I asked if you would take an immediate swap.

That's true. KP had an awakening and changed his attitude after toilet gate. Brown had titty gate but hasn't learnt anything. Maybe KP can get through to him

My estranged brother is an Eels fan and he hates the Knights, probably as much as I hate him and I know he'd be seething about us signing Brown. Thanks to all the salty Para fans for helping me enjoy the experience I'm missing out on!

 

[perverse]

Props to all the Eels fans that read this and have enough self respect to not come in here and embarrass themselves like this. Y'all are the real MVPs.

You mean when Pearce helped a young squad go from 3 times wooden spooners to getting the Knights into the top 8 two years in a row for the first time since Joey retired.

I think Eels fans have completely blanked the Knights from existence prior to the Brown era. I don't blame them tbh, I wish I could too.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

On a side note… anyone willing to bet it’s Knights v Eels in round 1 next year?

You mean to get Brown this year? Of course.

Yep and don’t forget first finals in 7 years too. Pearce was fantastic (until he decided to suddenly piss off at the very last minute).

If you want to see proper sour grapes towards us and Brown then watch this video. It’s all just rambling nonsense really and I couldn’t help but make a comment

Bro recorded this on his Dell laptop from 2007. The first 2 seconds were enough for me.

The whiny voiced incel did well to get the through the whole video before his mum came in and told him to clean his room.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but was just reading about the Warriors offering Brown a big contract before he'd even played a game of first grade, and whose name should pop up...

According to the report, the deal was valued at $2.69 million, with an additional $57,651 for relocation costs. If Brown had accepted the deal, it would have put the teenager on the richest contract ever for a player yet to play first grade.

However, the lucrative deal orchestrated by talent scout Peter O’Sullivan could also be deemed as a breach of the NRL’s anti-tampering rules. Clubs can only begin talks with players from rival clubs on November 1, the year before their contract expires.

Yes, it's clear that he's wanted him for years and finally landed his man. It's probably the factor that fills me with the most confidence - he's a pretty good judge of talent. O'Sullivan has seen something in him at a young age.

But some fat guy on YouTube said he can’t play? We’re no better off than with Cogger or Pryce. Or we should sign a superstar like Jack Cole or Brad f**king Schneider.

At the end of the day that fat merkin says at the end of the day way too much.

 

[Alex28]

The more sad sack Eels supporters going out of their way to sook here about him, the more confident we have got it right.

 

[Yosh]

They were going to pay him $1.1m. We only paying a tad more. Why they all think we wasted so much money? Would they have thought the same if he stayed?

 

[perverse]

The more I think about this, I would say we're even money or better to pull another rabbit out of the hat and, to the external league worlds shock and surprise, put Fletcher Sharpe in the number 7. We need another Cessnock boy in that jersey anyway.

Everyone is expecting us to try and warp Brown into something he isn't. I just don't see it playing out that way.
