Rumours and Stuff

[Djay]

Dylan Brown is a better player than Kyle Flanagan, in every aspect bar goal-kicking.

That's not to say Flanagan isn't a good player - but Brown is a special, special talent.

Brown is going to be a generational player I have no doubt about it, his a special special talent.

Poor old Mythchell Piss being 4th string halfback behind those other 3 hall of fame halves

Can we really say that about Dylan Brown given only three games in first grade?

I'm basing it on his 3 First Grade games, as well as his Juniors career so far - but, yes, I believe we can say that.

Kid is a gun player.

We can say it after three minutes, merkin.

I'm certain he'll be a first grader (a massive achievement) but I think it's still too soon to be claiming he's the next Thurston or whatever.

No we f**ken didn't.

I concur. Remember Tim Smith's rookie year. Kid had the world at his feet, it was easily the best rookie season I can remember by a player that I've seen. But he was soon worked out and dismantled. Brown probably has a longer NRL career in front of him than Smith and is miles in front defensively, but I haven't seen anything to suggest he is going to dominate at NRL level yet. Goes without saying I'd love to be proved wrong....

Maybe not the next Thurston, but the next Cherry-Evans?

I'm confident he will prove you wrong.

He's perhaps not as skilled as Tim Smith, but he has better temperament, defence, and reads the game beautifully.

Composure...oozes confidence without being arrogant. Think he will be a future 7 but at the moment a perfect foil for moses

 

[Gronk]

I await Rammy to tell us all how much it shows Rorters are better than us and how we should be signing up all this young talent

Business acumen FFS !

tbf to a lot of players, I don't think anyone is as skilled as Tim Smith. He just came through at a time where skill, and risk-taking became unfashionable. The game was becoming more about completion rates, wrestling in the ruck which meant more and better set defensive lines. I think if he was coming through now he would've had a longer career as risk taking in attack is coming back and in certain team's structures completion rates aren't as important.

Also last year at the legends of league tournament you could tell he was a class above a lot of the players there too.

He seems quicker than Smith as well, and judging by his pre-season exploits he's probably fitter.

I love Drown and hope he has a long and successful career with us and I know he debuted 2 years younger than Smith, but Smith played over 200 top grade games here (90) and in the UK (120) over an 11 year career. Dylan lasted 3 games and has developed a problem with his back that needs to be closely managed and caused him to miss the next 11 games. I only hope he can get his body to a point where it holds together for him to give him an 11 year career at the top.

Tim Smith lol, a freind of mine ran an establishment. I used to own some of his property he left behind. Quality geezer.
I could also tell you about the blues of 95 as well.

People said Cleary was the next Fitler. He is certainly not in that class. Everyone wants to predict the next big star. If D.Brown ends up as good as Moses or Pearce then I'd be happy.
