Squad succession

[Happy MEel]

Don’t both Norman and Moses go on the market in November? BA may be forced to make a call early. If Brisbane are serious, they may make a play for Moses for 2020 in November. Tough choice if it happens.

Is Brown a left or right side half?

can play both

can play both

Where does he normally play and is he a right or left foot kicker?

 

[parrathruandthru]

last year he played left but was moved to the right by the coach this year. Played left for Wenty. Pretty sure he kicks with his right

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Any half can play both sides but after long enough in first grade they will definitely be more effective on one side than the other. Brown has never played first grade so it probably doesn't matter. His right foot kick is obviously more useful on the right but there are plenty of left side halves who are right footed.

I think it’s equally important which side he plays in defence.

Surely merkins can tackle either side of the field ... its more an issue of preferred passing hand and kicking i think

Yeah I said more but probably meant equally. Players def have a stronger side defensively...particularly on the edge.

Every merkin has a dominant shoulder they prefer to hit with. And hitting with that shoulder (left or right) is easier from a particular side.

Similar to their preferred kicking / passing hand/foot. They can all do it both ways but one way will be much easier.

Only cos they get shoehorned into it .... i think adjusting defensively would be far easier then the preferred kicking/passing/stepping/fending part of things

18's he played right. Last year he played NYC on the left. This year he's played right in Flegg and ISP. I'd say he prefers right.

You reckon? I can spiral pass both ways just about as good as each other. But if some merkin ran at my left side I would make Sandow look like Trevor Gillmeister.

Edit: if some merkin ran at my right side the same result would occur

But thats just cos you are a pussy

That’s true. But if a Pussy like me can pass both ways with relative ease then so can any first grade half

But not first grade dummy halves it would seem.

I was going to put an asterisks and say maybe not Kaysa

 

[JokerEel]

Brown the next immortal can play either side! Even the middle

Well at Parra anyway. There is hope with Mahoney though.

Lane deal 3 years. You heard it here first.
