Ill have more to say about him later, but he has to be in the running for a top 17 spot there's no doubt. He should be on the 6 man bench regardless.
If he can replicate this performance against the Roosters this weekend, I can't see how the coaching staff can leave him out of the 19 man squad.
Brown has also been a leader in preseason training thus far, and has won numerous shirts for his efforts.
In our out guys.
Surely he gets in over Kelma and he needs to get time in fg, as he is earmarked to be a future repayment for Jnr and jdb as is Sam Tuivaiti and Ryda Talagi

Yeah as EA said he's 22. It is very impressive and credit to Ryles and the staff for the work they put in.
I'd like to see him start the trial match against the roosters, see what the bloke has against a team like them and also to see if he can keep up as well and impose himself as a genuine first grader
Does anyone know what browns weight is?
He looks pretty big and mobile
he will definitely make a debut this year
Looks much bigger than Utokimanu
He'll get a debut at some point, but probably not round 1. He's not ahead of Junior, Tuivaiti, Walker, Hopgood, Guymer, Moretti or JDB. And that's not a knock on the kid. It's just he's hardly played NSW Cup and last year's forwards deserve first crack at round one.
Yep agree there. He' can jump a few players with another good performance and give Ryles something to think about. For mine he's playing like he's already racked up a few seasons in cup
He made his NSW Cup debut early to mid last year but suffered a leg injury that game that kept him out for a long. If it was not for that injury, he would have played a lot of NSW Cup last year.
Keep stacking them and may the best man win there's going to be a huge hole needing to be filled in the next year or 2 and hopefully the mentioned time line fits Paulos exit.
With that in mind we do the same with JDB you could quite see Hopgood back to 13 and captaining the side in a year or 2 once the mentioned and Walker are past there best he'll even a Saxon Pryke might be that 13 we are looking for.
Tuivaiti will get first crack but if we can keep stacking competition behind him this is exactly how we build a winner.
We need to replicate this with our outside backs.
Yes not very often I'd think it after a trial but...lock him up! He and Tuivati are gonna be a great pairing, in fact Tuivati will be attracting a lot of interest too. Only signed him for a short time I think...lock him up too ;)
and Coryn you are right re need the same happening with outside backs. Always surprises me we rarely seem to find an outstanding winger in our youngins'. Samrani seems like he is going well from what we saw in trial but holy heck whst was that absolute brain explosion he performed...thought he'd cop attention on review. Bet JR wasn't too keen on that shitty stuff?
This was my prediction for him in July last year.
