As I said he had 11 on his back but was playing lock from the second time we played Bulldogs (as you said Rd 23) to Rd 25 and in Rd 26 he was at prop. Jake was the edge second row in those games. Watch those games again and you'll see Marty in the middle and Jake on the edge from Rd 23-25. Green won't make any difference...He's a waste there. It does more bad than good...trust me.
I'm not a huge fan at all but was our only player to play every game last year unless I'm mistaken. I think we do need someone on the bench that can cover hooker and second row. Api is not a 80 minute hooker IMO and who knows how Hastings will go if they start him there... Don't get me wrong @BOZO, if they leave Brown out I won't be upset
Not the club. The NRL has to be seen to be circumspect about letting transgressors return to the game too soon. But comparing his case to others - Wicks, Packer - I'd say clearance isn't very far away.
I understand what you are saying but we need players off the bench that can come on and lift the side and although Brown can fill in the s/row and hooker he only just does that "fill in" . To be a top side again we need players that can come on and dominate and make an impact !!!
.... I was a big fan of the signings of both Myles & Brown ... to say I have been hugely disappointed is an understatement ... we paid big bucks but on last years form they would both be non selections in my 17 ...
fair points. I am more disappointed in Myles than Brown. I thought Brown was average but he had a go at least. Myles just seems like he's well past it for mine and can only hold his own in defense. On form, neither should be in the top 17. We do have to remember that we can't expect each and every player in the team to be a superstar. We need our solid first graders who don't set the world on fire but do their job, and then a sprinkling of high level players throughout the side who can make things happen. I am not concerned about the indivduals in the team, more so, can they gel and perform as a unit on the day. Look at what Bellyache does to park footy players in Melbourne....I agree Bozo !!!
Good side man
What has Winterstein done to be rewarded with a start in our top 17 ?
Well then I hope he makes the cut in our top 17 this year for you Woodsie
