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

Nailed it EA! Great leg drive!
Big motor for a big bloke. It's the same with Tuivaiti, they both seem to keep coming with the ability to play big minutes. They'd both have to be 115kg plus. Not sure who the conditioning coach is but he's doing a good job on these young blokes.
Saw Junior on side line and man he looks so lean and fit! Means business ;)
Boxing Macy. I taught the daughter of Paulo's boxing coach, gave a signed shirt for Xmas for teaching last year haha.
But boxing would have fit as and works on his footwork and discipline.
Nah, he used to box fat and it doesn't get easier to lose as you get older...Ozempic, not that there's anything wrong with that. Every trainer always tried to pul weight off of Jnr forever, but to no avail. Now? Easy-peasy
Yeah that'd be it LB. He looks fantastic. Hope he has a great year. If it was me I'd be ready and running off him as often as possible ;)
be great to get my fave Sam.T and Teacum into a bit of that kinda training oooh imagine both of those with some even greater stepping?
Changed his body type because the game has changed.
What I loved about juniors game last year was his second stints he was still going hard if not harder than his first.He may not bend the line like he used to but he now has the ability to repeat his efforts and for these young ones coming through he's showing them what a professional looks like.
Unlike a lot of other fowards of his size throughout the nrl who stayed the same junior has adapted his body type to suit and credit too him but as above the Tuivaitis Browns Morretis of the world see this you can not have a better leader or example to follow and to learn off of being a true pro.
Chief given where we are at, are you in the market for a top tier prop?
I think a quality outside back/centre should be the priority. A premium Prop forward would help, but i think the fact that we have good depth and development in that position, meant we aren't going to be offering super crazy money for someone like keon.
Same, there's going to have to be some consideration to 5/8 for 2027 but I think we are well served up front.
