Don't forget they have the drug cheat next year too. We should be having a red hot crack.
And all credit to them. They are building and identifying decent talent. We signed Hopgood which was brilliant, but apart from him it’s been embarrassing. We signed the shit from Newcastle to our top 30, we’ve still got rubbish in reserves like Rankin, Arthur, Dumpster. We have a major issue with talent ID.

Yeah. Brown was a damn good 5-8 last year and didnt he shift him to get his useless son Jake into the team?
No it was because we had an injury crisis in the outside backs. It wasn't until after his stint at centre that he started to hit form.
Different situation this year as it is becoming probable he is just not a good 5-8 and could fill a need at centre.
No he started slowly last year as well. He has never shown consistency, and the only thing that might make us think he will is his age. He is not yet 23, which is young for a playmaker. It is his physicality that has made him valuable in the NRL, not his game sense. That's why he is suited to centre.

No stop believing what you read on Facebook or on here.

And No he isn't a centre
With his running and defence he would be a great centre (like Wighton), and maybe the best in the game. The problem is he is one of our best players and it is difficult to get involved at centre. He made 29 runs against Canberra in the finals. Only a spine player can get that involved.

I am certain that when Brown was in the centres last season Jake Arthur was a starting half.
It's because Drown can play centre and Arthur can't. In fact we were all out of merkins who can defend at centre. Even Niukore was unavailable. In any case we smashed the Knights with Drown at centre and Arthur in the halves. The following week we got belted in Darwin.

Arthur and Dunster are cheap to allow us to keep our stars. Rankin isn't even top 30 ffs

He doesn't just stick on the left. He plays more through the middle. He set up Sivo's try on Friday, kicking from the right hand side of the field ffs

He plays most on the left and Moses on the right which needs to change.

He took that kick as Moses took the 4th tackle and played the ball.
