Dylan Brown - $13 million deal with Knights

[double hoops]

Ponga is signed until the end of 27'. He seems pretty settled in Newcastle. I imagine Brown is heading to Newie to play with Ponga.

No idea where it's coming from.

Some where on socials I'd say.

But the Ponga to Roosters talk has been around for a few months now.

Dylan Brown is worth half of that money and Drugcastle must be desperate.

I despise the system that allows a player to sign a contract with a rival club after 1 week of competition. So unfair on members of clubs who now have to watch a player that their club nurtured and gave an opportunity, play it safe for the season.

I watched Kieran Foran do that in 2015 and frankly it was agonizing to see an adored player sign with our despised enemy.

The NRL need to fix this system, there needs to be a transfer window for all clubs to make their trades.

System is faulty for sure. NRL wont allow Turbo to take a pay cut and then of course there was the Gift shafting when he was sent to go and play for souffs. We got reamed on that one.

Did it for his family apparently...
Brown shared the news to his social media followers a short time later.
“Hello everyone, I have decided to take an opportunity that is best for my family,” he wrote.

Yeah. They are all keen surfers and the Newie beaches have better breaks with less eels than the Parramatta River.

So next season Newcastle will have the two most expensive players in the NRL . . and probably still not make the top eight.

Once Parra moved Arthur on it was always on the cards. However I did not expect a club to throw 1.3 million of their cap at him. Its gonna be a tough year for the Eels.

Maybe not, but they've actually made the finals nearly every year in recent times. Slip under the radar because they never go far and are never considered a real threat, but do play finals.

Dylan brown isnt a half because he doesnt kick the ball. He is not even a star player. Worst buy in nrl history.

deadset 34 kick meters on the weekend. There are nsw cup halves who have a better kicking game.

Only winners here are Brown and parra

His current deal was too much and too complicated. Its a great out for them IMO despite the fact he is a decent player

 

[The Who]

Honest question: Would Brown make our top 17?
I'm not sure he would. Brooks is fitting in nicely with our superfast outside backs.

Will the Knights get a good return in their Investment ?
