Good to see Brown chucked out already.

Why waste time with a 19 year old? If he doesn't have a perfect game by now, he never will.

I agree brown is very talented but im not sure if he will make it as a nrl 7/6. He has no kicking game, not a great passing range. Looks to have a fantatsic running game though I think 9 is his best position

I think 6 is the best spot for him he just needs a domaint 7 to lead and help develop his game.

Play him anywhere you want, but put him into a gun team with a real coach - imagine that?

A halves coach!

Enter BK..............

Need to try nab a 6/7 from somewhere robson and brown are terrible. No kicking game. Still not convinced about brown as a half still think hooker is his best position

Ennis was named in the 7 for the Dogs a few games back...................

Nu into 9?????

Should have stopped after your 6th word.
He'll be fine and a HUGE asset at 6. Just neads experience

Agree but think he could also be a good 7, can't believe some fools on here don't rate him after a few first grade games. Incredible!

I don't rate brown at all. Has done nothing in his 5 or so games this year.

A. reynolds and brown would be perfect. Also I think brown would play better if he was the left-sided half from what I've seen in 20s

We have to throw Carney's money at A Reynolds. He could potentially be the one that delivers our first premiership.

I still think Brown will be a great player. I would have liked to see what Gallen was like in his first 5 NRL games.

He is getting a good taste of NRL this season when the steaks aren't high. With a great pre season and with the little experience he has gotten I think we will see Nu really come out of his shell in 2015.

He really just needs time to gel and get combinations sorted. He wouldn't even be playing FG this year if it wasn't for the atrocious season we have had.

He's been thrown in the deep end with massive shoes to fill . With Carney gone it's a revelation of how much we relied on him.

I reckon they are just letting him find his feet without having to worry too much about kicking. Probably a decent plan, a couple of dud kicks can really dampen the confidence. Maybe just keeping it simple to start with.?

I don't know if that's the case but that's pretty stupid imo. Especially when the alternative is robson chipping it 20 metres on the last or graham thumping every kick dead. If he's got any kind of a kicking game he needs to get in and demand the ball.

We'll need to see it now that it looks like Wade is out for the rest of the season.
