I will admit Greg, i did say and stand by he should have played to start the year as Moses was out and we needed someone with experience and talent in the halves (Brown has talent, doesn't mean he always shows it). But once Moses was back i said then move him on. Though his body language from rounds 1-6 then 14-19 was poor. Not gonna say distracted just more so let's get it over and done with. Even his defence, which is his strength, was not as good this year.
I reckon he will either play or he won't. Hope this helps erase the confusion
So now we have Schrodingers 5/8
If I was a betting man. I would say DB will come off the bench and play 13 and cover for papali/backs.
Remeber when some dopes we're trying to convince us Brown is on 700k 😂😂😂. Must've cash converters workers trying to put their valuations like they're buying kids toys from single mothers.
His been overpaid ever since his been here. I got lambasted for saying so. I read somewhere walker and dearden are only on between 500k to 600k. People on here saying his worth twice that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was paid on potential, simple as that. I went down the route that he is good but not great since 2021. He is still an NRL quality 6. Not one you build your club around though like Newcastle might have to do.
In hindsight he has been highly over paid based on performance. Most would say.
JR looked really p*$$€d off in that interview. Wonder whats going on behind the scenes?
From all reports he seems to be just a laid back bloke with things, but surely he didn't take this news well. Again, ballsy from Ryles but it seems he is not happy with the performances of course, so unless something happened when the hard truths came out or not we more likely will never know.
But i find it strange how Ryles is going the route of just letting him rot at the COE. Not playing any footy unless starting for FG. His only chance of getting in is if injury/suspension for Papali'i and Smith/Da Silva. I mean he is a veteran of 135 odd games but still need some form of match fitness with 8 weeks left. Not even to have him as 18th man speaks volumes.
I think if anything Darren the fact he is not letting him suit up at all set's alarm bells. Could it be a culture thing? Could be he is kicking stones and doesn't want that around the squad? Doubt it but who knows.
