Dylan Brown - The Defensive Beast

Mitch makes a poor kick straight into Hughes' bread basket. Dylan must now turn around and chase Hughes who has a 10 metre head start. Makes good ground (smoking Moses in the mean time) forcing a pass to the pacey Hines, Hines sees Dylan has him in the cover tackle so he offloads to Papenheysen. This tricky since the pass is against Dylan's running angle (against the grain) meaning Dylan has been turned inside out, he lunges taking Papen's (who's even more explosive) legs sending him to the turf, essentially saving a try that looked certain.

I can't remember the last time I saw a player run 70 metres essentially defending against 3 players and come out on top. I salute you Dylan Brown. You're the best defender in the game and your freakish defence won us the game if you take into account the saved touchline try in the 1st. Add Junior's tackle on The Fox because Dylan came in cover forcing the Fox to come inside instead of running away from Junior towards the touchline,

  • Isn't it funny how Moses could've given the game away right there and then, and yet the media and commentators all wrapped his game like he'd personally won it for us.  His game was about a 5/10. If JA kicked that , or gave away resarts as Moses did the other night everyone would be crucifiing him.  But Moses always gets the pass mark like the media darling he is. 

    • 5/10? Lol! Have you been drinking? 

      • TBH..I didn't think Mitch has his best game either with his kicking. I'd say he was a 7/10 though because he set up a try and defender excellently with a couple good sweeping tackles as FB.

        • He's no media darling Wiz, he has copped more shit here and in the media than you have had "shakes".

          The relentless way you persue him does nothing in your world of critique, only shows what a sad vindicative person you are.

          • I rest my case.  Nar you're right Poppa it was a spectacular performance.  He was obviously in a purple patch the other night and that's why he was getting all the accolades post match.  

  • Where are all the dylan brown haters now? Yeah he's had a poor season, but defensively he has been excellent this year!

    I wish he started on the left instead of the right this season..

    • "Where are all the haters ?" " yeah he's had a shit season". 

      Are we supposed to have been singing his praises all year ?

  • True dat. Also rarely if ever misses a one on one tackle. Dare to say a bit Kenny like on some of those tackles. 

  • I've been critical of him lately (hater) I knew how good he can be very frustrating especially if he tanks the next game but he's only young i suppose 

  • In my eyes, we cannot win the comp without Dylan, Moses or gutho. Dylan's defence saves so many tries people don't realise
