He would cope with the middle just fine (like Matterson did) but yes, he is quite experienced in the middle.
You mean inexperienced right? I find it odd that we would release Brown, an experienced middle and replace him with Sironen, an edge player, to play in the middle. They are both the same age (30 this year). What would Sironen offer over Brown in the middle?

I’ve had a couple of beers. I meant he’s experienced on the edge. I’ve edited my post.

Height?

However I agree that if we sign Sironen it’ll be as an edge forward. But also he has a fairly long history of injuries so there’ll be some crossed fingers every week, which is the case for most ‘experienced’ signings. The Chooks are aware of Nrown’s history. What’s the alternative? Young players of equal ability cost more.

Apparently not. I'm just relaying what I've heard. I don't really rate him but he's better than what we have. Guess it means Waqa will be moved back on the wing.

He isn't better than Opa. I know he wanted to try the UK but c'mon sign someone that's going to add to the team!

No thanks also would have thought he would've been a swap for Brown if we were after him..
Well it still might be, but a swap requires individual negotiations between both clubs and the two players. It’s not just something the two clubs agree on and then traffic those humans across town, like a hostage exchange.

He’s not a good first grader, but he is a first grader, and good enough to win a premiership. He’s at his peak for a couple more years and wouldn’t cost too much. I think it would be a smart signing.
I honestly wanted Asi to get a run at left centre. Saw that he's named in the centres in NSW cup think he's exactly what we need if he can defend at centre. I feel like he's got more upside than Momirovski but that's just my opinion.

He can obviously be criticised, just not by you. I mean, how the f**k would you know his flaws?
By opening my eyes.

it helps if you actually know anything about the game or have had anything to do with the game, rather than being a pure slave to statistical analysis.

how excited are you at the moment? The minute full time hit last Friday you must have been salivating at the thought of all the delicious contrarian fights you could have…
