If stapo got dropped after scoring 4 then Mitch needs to lube up for flanno

Should not be playing this week. Don't even know why we signed this bloke.
Would be happy if he was just back up but to think that Gagan is in reserves and Val Holmes who should be gettng experience whenever possible are both being held back because of him is a joke.
He was crap last year and crap last week.
I don't think he was crap last year. He's not a crap player, just should be used as depth. He's much better depth than guys like Stapo.
Yeah that is definitely more fair, still very dissapointed that really talented juniors are continuing to be held back.
Just an amusing comment at the Sharks game last Sunday from my 22 yo daughter who doesn't follow the game closely but enjoys it
"a bit".
It was the first game I've taken her to in about 3 or 4 years... maybe more. At that previous game at Endeavour Field years ago
Mitch Brown was named at (I think) fullback to cover an injury. I said in front of her at that time "Oh FFS.... Mitch Brown at fullback?
He couldn't catch cold naked in Alaska!" and then added "Ben Ross would have a better chance of catching the ball" ( sarcasm).
He went on to drop 3 or maybe 4 bombs at fullback during the game.
On Sunday, after 3 or 4 years without going to a game, when his name was called out pre-game in the team announcements she said....
"Oh not THAT IDIOT Mitch Brown again! Is he STILL playing for us? Where's Ben Ross?"
Just struck me funny.
Agree, I don't it hate Brown bur surprise surprise looks like he has been chosen again, so really hope he plays well on the day. I also would love to see some of the young talent given a go.
In fact I hope like heck the whole team lifts several gears from last weeks effort. Clearly our right side defence very very rarely get any decent ball.
FFS Because fending someone diving full-stretch from behind your hips is a thing now.I watched another replay of where Wighton brought him down, he was carrying the ball in his right arm, he didn't even try to fend off Wighton with his left hand.

Hate to tell u, but wighton woulda cut down holmes gagan feki brown with that tackle. That was a brilliant fullback tackle.
