I'd tell him that we are not taking orders from that f**kwit anymore.

Who?

Brayden

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What would you do Pou if you were in charge and we had another season like 2018? Yes, the worst case scenario.

It would depend why we had such a bad season.

Interesting Nathan Brown just hit the media. Prozenko. Reading between the lines is interesting.

‘It was a weird situation’: Mystery Eels exit still baffles Brown

The Roosters recruit believes everything happens for a reason, but he still doesn’t have a good explanation for being squeezed out at Parramatta.

You read a lot more into than I did...

A missionary, in Africa, was out taking a walk in the jungle. Suddenly, he heard a noise from the brush in front of him. It was a lion. He started to back up and heard a noise from behind. Sure enough, it was another lion. He looked to his left and then to his right. You guessed it, lions were on both sides. It looked grim, so the missionary sat down where he was and started to read his Bible. Shortly after he started reading, the lions jumped the missionary and ate him.

Moral of the story: Never read between the lions.

To be honest the Brown situation needs to explored much further than is being said.

We've let go a player significantly superior than anyone on our current bench, by a country mile.

I think it's a sackable offence for whoever made the decision if at seasons end we're worse off.

In the article Brown is talking about potentially getting back into Origin consideration, so it looks like he's hitting the Roosters as a Top 17 player - otherwise his comments about Origin make him look like a dickhead. Instead it reads like he's moved to a better place - and presumably we're still paying for (some of that) privelege.

Comparing that scenario to our Top 17 / bench forwards - and the way super coach uses (doesn't use) them - then we are worse off without having used Brown since he was mysteriously dropped and told he coulod look elsewhere. Agree further questions need to be asked, and more disclosures made by the club.

People are hyping this guy like he's some future Australian international centre - personally I just can't see it. He may be the best of what we've got in the backs at the moment, but that's hardly a high bar. I see him shifting to union when his next contract comes up for negotiation.

He might well return to rugby, because he is a gun. Beside his great defence he is a powerful runner. He breaks plenty of tackles and gets big metres. Also has some leadership ability, allegedly. The only thing he lacks is elite speed. All this while still eligible for Jersey Flegg.

 

[the phantom menace]

Good on him... and he may have a future in either sport. But I don't think it's elite level as much as he's been hyped up, and without a CIty-Country fixture I can't see him breaking into any senior level rep teams.

Leadership ability could just be that he knows more big words than our coach, having gone to the big posh private school etc?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Leadership doesn’t have a lot to do with vocabulary in their world. And Penisini wouldn’t be out of place in Origin. He’s already a better centre than Gutherson.

 

[eel01s]

Penisini will not play origin (unless there are major injury issues) as he simply is not fast enough at that level.

Too slow, he's just an average centre who breaks a few tackles and a pretty good defender. Nothing special. He's too slow to beat a defender and make long range breaks . 350k max for mine, Essentially penasini is a back rower who's too small to play in the forwards

I think Penisni is a 12yrs NRL centre but I don't think he is ever going to be elite. He would handle himself in origin fine. Just lacks the speed to be next level. He is still only 20 tho. He may not get faster but he will still get a little stronger and make better decisions. If we listed all 34 starting centres I reckon right now he would sit between 10-16.

 

[Twizzle]

I wouldn't be judging anyone's career at 20

Look how much Dylbags improved last year.

That's right I forgot. It's more about who can do the best helicopter in teh showers after the game...

And Penisini wouldn’t be out of place in Origin. He’s already a better centre than Gutherson.

Again, better centre than Gutho is faint praise.

Will at his best so far would be majorly out of place if the NSW centre stocks had gotten that low. Against Manly I initially thought we had swapped sides with the centres, because his D was looking Blake-level shit.

 

[Eelementary]

Penisini is faster than Gutho, who was good enough to play in the centres for NSW...

I'm not sure Penisini will play Origin, but he's a very good young centre.

Those of you saying all he offers is power should look back at some of his passes to his winger.

He's a very complete centre, and he's only 20 years old.

He will only get better.

 

[hineyrulz]

Penissssssssi is the least of our problems ffs!!

 

[the phantom menace]

And he's not going to be our saviour either.

 

[hineyrulz]

And he's not going to be our saviour either.

He’s a centre so of course not.

 

[hindy111]

Dolphins about to extend JMK even thou has this year and next still. 2 games and that's enough. They knew it was enough to get a deal done.
While we wait untill they are free to get big offers. Shows where we are at as a club
