Rumours and Stuff

Brown is a wasted talent at Parra.

He needed/needs a Bellamy, or even Robinson or Flanagan type of coach that can teach him how to play 5/8th properly. Potates doesn't possess those types of skills. Brown is not a self motivated student of the game and it shows right now more then ever without Moses there to run the side. Brown has all the necessary skills to be a great 7, but his inability to work hard at it has kept him from maturing into a thinking player and he mainly just plays off the cuff still. When he tries to manage at the moment, he is almost clueless and struggles to break down sides correctly.

He lacks the knowledge and or intuition of what to do next in a game and what's next next after that and then what's next after that to get an outcome 2 or three plays or even sets down the line. This isn't a skill it is a study thing and thousands of hours or training. Just ask Cooper Cronk how he got to where he is and all the work he is putting into Walker at the Roosters to get him to think ahead and how to play for it. The flashy stuff comes once you have broken down your opposition not before like how Brown is forever trying to force an outcome before it's possible and fails dreadfully and then the whole team lose confidence drop their heads and we end up getting blown away once the fatigue sets in.

His lack of management skills is a big contributor to our physical fatigue in games. Great playmakers sense exactly how their teams are feeling and adjust the immediate tactics to suit. He has no idea how to pace the game or feel for its heartbeat to suit our boys. I'm not excusing our R&R it has been diabolical but they can be helped out a lot if we ran with the right tactics and out there on the field that responsibility squarely falls on the chief playmaker who currently is a dumb dumb.

It shouldn't be all that hard for him because he has so much talent, speed and power that if he ever grows into the player he could be would be an outstanding 7, but c'est la vie. It is Parra after all and we all know by now we are cursed and will never win another premiership in our lifetime. He will probably end up at the Roosters in a year or two anyway and they can/will fix him.
Either that, or he always will be a fairly one dimensional player.

You know what a dog-hungry group of players should do after hearing those comments from the cheese about Parra. Next time we play the roosters mark it down to prove a point we wont be copping shit from an opposition player and use it as motivation to light a fuse inside the group.

But knowing our softly group we will roll over and ignore what was said anyway not giving 2 hoots.
Nothing surer in life

No. In fact Sanders might come to nothing. But it's that style of play that I like. The composure. He's not just running because he sees a gap. He's not just passing because he's about to get tackled and there happens to be someone outside him.

I agree.

A big Dylan Brown fan, but when he takes the line on, and dumps a pass to Lane that was never on...

Just had a lot of those rumours sent to me with who it’s actually about. If the texting team mates younger sister is true then OMG hold onto your hat it’s a huge story. Players brother in question is also huge star.

Couldn’t be a club with the biggest membership, top 2 Australia wide fan number count coupled with sponsorship and profitability of the football club. How about poor R&R compared to other clubs being a factor and unchanging game plan. Mmmmmm.

The world's richest sporting organisation, resources beyond imagination, a fan base spanning America with a billion dollar stadium. 110,000 seat they sell out every game. Hasn't won a super bowl since 1995
