Not sure what ryles was thinking here. If you are going to push brown out of the halves but him in the centres for Russell. I can understand him wanting to adjust to life without brown but fuck me you play him or you don't. Not this half assed play him at hooker for 15mins.

Lot of hate on brown but he's still an established 6 who knows how to defend and play shapes in attack etc. weird move from Ryles first time I've been like what was this about lol. Especially v panthers
With you Eli head scratching.
Established since 2019 when it was the last time he had a good game.
He's not a terrible 6 but and I'd just use him till his contract runs out 😂 Joash can develop in nsw cup at 6 bit. Just how I'd handle it
I can stand by that Eli, though FG experience is key, Joash can learn the position in Cup. Brown can get by the season.
Yes he is terrible.. let's not go on potential or the fact he has played for NZ we need to weed this garbadge out the last 4 minutes of play from DB and his dancing and smiling after the game says alot the bloke has very bad habits let's cut the chords.
Nathan Brown should yell at him a bit, then slap shit out of him.....Pay per veiw
Exactly Mace, good post.
Why not wait until Moses & Smith are back, then drop DB altogether & play next years entire spine if you want Joash to learn on the job.
Playing two inexperienced halves with our inexperienced fullback, a hooker playing his first game for the club and our 5/8th playing 20 mins at hooker for the first time in his life, you're pretty much waving the white flag before kick off with that many changes at once to your spine.
It's not like Papalli was playing 5/8th in reserves, he was a fullback, had he been, it would make more sense.
Maybe it's timing, the club can see if Joash is capable of making that transition now instead of going to market (again).
Wish him the best for sure.
I like idea Brown not playing 5/8 joash need to learn to play 5/8
Maybe Dylan will be dropped next week with Ryley coming back
