Those remarks do not bode well for keeping certain players
Strange thing , is when the Storm or others adopt the same stance, they are praised for not letting the cap get out of whack and lauded as an example .

The Eels do it, and as they actually sell media in Sydney, the bottom feeders take a different view and we get where we are. They wonder why circulation falls.

Nobody says he should be immune however everyone has their opinion and in my opinion he is as important to our side as Moses and Gutherson and more than Mahoney. However if I had to choose I’d be banking on Brown. I can however understand people preferring Mahoney.
Care to share why?

He’s quick. Our team need pace. His defence is up there with the best for his position. He is relatively not injury prone. He is the type of player that appears to have more time than most which is an indication of class as the opposition are standing off him. His age.

Also plenty of wraps on him from some of the 'knowledgeable' commentators. All I was saying was that at 21 he probably still needs to be cut some slack. He is the best (or nearly the best) defensive half in the game and I can't recall him losing a game for us this year.
He gets a mixture of positive and negative comments just like most other players. I don't think any of it is terribly unfair. Whats with the 'cut him some slack' bizzo? Are you his mum?

I respect his defence. Hopefully the longer he has together with Moses the more he can build on and improve his attack. The ingredients are there in attack even if the result hasn't been so far.

Jerome Luai is 3 and 1/2 yrs older and has had only about 8 more NRL games. Had Dylan not missed many due to i jury they'd be about the same.

Luai I feel become a top shelf player in the 2020 season at age 23. Dylan won't turn 23 untill mid 2023.

I’m not saying he’s shit. He’s just average. No running game makes him average. No speed makes him average. Not worth more than 450k
The no running game notion is a bit of a myth IMO. I vividly recall him darting out of dummy half and setting up tries in the last couple of seasons. Sure, he might not do it as often as Damien Cook but how much is down to coaching direction and the call from his number 7?

I think he's more than capable, he just chooses his times to run more conservatively than others. He has the opposite problem to Dylan Brown who runs too often....

He doesn’t do it enough. If he could add that variety he would be very dangerous. In turn it relieves the pressure on Moses. Markers at the moment know that 90% of the time he will pass.

4 years is too long for Gutherson. I would have preferred that he leave after 22 in all honesty.
As for Reed I am not too worried about losing him. He looks inbred to me which isn't important but with the injuries and lack of running game it all mounts up.

He ran quite a bit in the 20's, but under Bea Arthur Ball all he wants is a tackling machine that leads the line speed and to shovel the ball from dummy half. M Keating would of been a wet dream for Bea.

Inbred? There's a 'look' for that?
