Rumours and Stuff

[Twizzle]

Yep, surely a player can get faster just by dropping some weight. Eg Sivo.
Could Dylan Brown get faster by dopping 5kgs and working on his running technique?

Dylan Brown faster ?

Do you think he is slow ?

 

[T-Boon]

not slow. Just average. Probably average for a 5/8.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe he is fast but does not know how to use it in attack. He is not great as a support player and he gets caught after making half breaks a lot by everyone.

That just shows we aren't good at getting him the ball in space. Likewise with Moses. It's why we might go better with Gutherson at middle half and split Moses and Drown either side of him.

But then Gutherson receiving the ball in broken play tends to want to go himself instead of passing to someone with more speed. If he can't put someone through a gap (rather than giving early ball) Gutherson won't pass. It's his biggest fault.

 

[TheRam]

You can, actually. Running fast is a very technical skill and tweaking running styles is absolutely coachable.

Technique is one thing and teaching you how to fully maximise that inherent gift is yes teachable, but the speed your gifted with is not a teachable thing. Period!

 

[TheRam]

He has run down some pretty quick players.

It's those first 2 or 3 steps that he isn't lightning at. He doesn't have instant acceleration like other speedsters.

D.Brown would be in the faster group of Halves. So would Moses.

Bar Luai and Moses I can not think of many who do? Halves that is

4pm has come and gone and Mik’s a no show in the Sterlo Bar. Obviously shit his pants, which i believe isn’t exactly frowned upon in Bones on Bones.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

The wifi in here is much like Waqa’s defending.

no, he is quiet pacey, I really dont know what you have against him

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He probably wears sneakers.

My fav spot pre game. 2 or 3 scooeys of Great Northern and I'm ready to rumble.

Yeah you are probably right. Over time he may learn how to beat his man better with some footwork.

Think it’s only my third time here. Walked past the stadium, first time I’ve seen it. Thoroughly enjoying myself.

*punch on

 

[T-Boon]

He is an excellent defender and good runner.
He has bad hands, zero play making skills and an average kicking game.
He could at least be a better support player.
Moses and Guth play faster than Brown.

 

[T-Boon]

no, he is quiet pacey, I really dont know what you have against him

another thing I like about him is he seems to be getting more self awareness. He knows he isnt that good but a year ago he thought he was the next big thing.

This isn’t particularly relevant to the discussion but I met him yesterday. With his suspension, he had training early today and so didn’t go down to Canberra. I was working and he was watching his brother play rugby. Nice guy and seemed genuinely cool to chat to an eels fan. From a fan engagement perspective he’s certainly an asset for the club.

Did you ask him what he thinks of Bushy's shit tactics?
