He would need to do that every single week if he was to live up to the 1.4million price tag
and we all know what happens in big club games
It's like some people think he is either not good at all or never plays well. The bloke can play, he is talented and is a very good football player.
Consistency is his issue and his talent is suited to being a 5/8, not a Halfback.
Sandon Smith will play halfback
And where will Fletcher Sharpe play? wont play 1, wont be playing 6 apprently to that comment.
I doubt they move Sharpe, plus Brailey left and Crossland is that 9/14 option. Smith could very well be a 14.
They might start with brown at 7, but save for injuries Smith will be the 7 quickly when they realise it isnt working.
Again, where does Sharpe go? Do not say injuries as that is a cop out answer. Smith will be a fill in. Sharpe also did not go to Fullback when Ponga was hurt mid year, he stayed at 6 which is smart, so cannot guarentee injuries as a way for Smith to be full-time 7.
You said Smith will play Halfback, not he will play Halfback at some point depending on injuries.
The Newcastle spine will be what Holbrook says it will be.
Interesting times in the Hunter they are a new rebuilding side and much like us they'll have there bumps along the way.
He would know too, being a former halfback. Interesting selection to make. It probably wont matter anyway because injuries will happen forcing changes. But I do think over the 10 years brown will play mostly at 6 and on the left.
Fletcher Sharpe is a chance of playing 7. But it will be either him or Ponga unless Holbrook is dumb enough to put Sharpe on the Wing.
If Ponga moves on then Sharpe to Fullback will be the go.
The difference here is everyone is doing there job around him and here in lies the difference it's no different to any other half.With the kiwis he has a defined role and he does his role.
He has traits to be a 7 he just isn't one yet.He's what Moses was 5-6 years ago he could run a game to save his life but look what he is now.
I have no doubt Holbrook at Newcastle will see this and he'll be used correctly or will have a plan for best usage.Regardless he's not our player now he's Newcastles good luck to him.
