correct and from memory his one and only kick against the knights saw us get a repeat set from a dropped ball

So thats 5 kicks we can recall, 2 led to a try and one to a repeat set.

Maybe he's a genius on the boot but we're hiding him till finals .... 2015.

I do remember one time in the roosters game Nu went for a kick and completely ****ed it and it let the roosters dominate field position, and it would not surprise me if the coaching staff and Gallen hooked him from kicking duties because of one **** kick.

I'd imagine they're just letting Brown focus on one thing at a time while he adjusts to FG, so limited kicking for a while. He seems to kick ok, so no doubt he'll be able to do more of it if he holds his spot.

I think he may just not be calling for the ball. He is a confident kid but he doesn't seem to be ready to over call Robson yet - probably still finding his feet. Nothing wrong with taking your time - he is defending well and has set up trys I'd be pretty happy if I was him.

he has put in some good kicks though so it's not like he doesn't lack skill . No doubt we are trying to take pressure off him as he was pretty much thrown into first grade.

I would like to see him run it more he has a very sharp step.

He has kicked in attacking field position - only once i recall a clearing kick under massive pressure and stuffed it.

Can anyone say here whether or not he has a good clearing kick?

He can kick long but doesn't have the control to place it where he wants it sort of just hits and hopes. His short kicking game is much better then his long.

Not aure if its been mentioned but the Taga try and a few other breaks were results of players like fifita and taga drifting close to the flanks. Was this a fluke or a game plan because it should definitely be used more often.

i mentioned this the other day, we need more movement in attack, we hardly ever run decoys

Maybe if you rested up properly instead of posting on here at 5am you wouldn't have had to myth it up today
