Whenever the season resumes, we'll be without Nathan Brown for two matches. So who would you pick to replace him?
Peni Terepo: Has been coming off the bench the past few years to play as an extra middle. Hard ball runner, big body in the middle, doesn't possess the ball skills to play Brown's role.
David Gower: The consummate professional. Deceptively strong ball runner, great passing game, good on his feet and a very reliable defender. Isn't the most aggressive player but wouldn't let the side down if called upon.
Marata Niukore: Made his name as an edge backrower and has an ability to play in the middle. Good footwork, hard ball runner, brutal defender. Does have a late offload and is difficult to handle one on one but perhaps hasn't shown he has a good short passing game.
Ray Stone: If Reed Mahoney hasn't recovered by the time the game restarts he may be at hooker. However, if he's available he does possess the workrate and defence to play in the middle. He's also the most aggressive of the options to replace Brown. Haven't seen enough of him to know if he has the ball playing ability to replace Brown.

I agree Bug, Gower is the closest we have to Brown if BA wants to go like for like and not change our style, Matterson is another option.
I'll go a different option, Kane Evans. It probably won't happen and it would depend on the opposition, but having Kane starting with Junior & RCG could be monster.
GEEZ Brett - I like that idea - now there's a first for 1EE. lol
