Yeah don't have issue with trying it given he a junior centre. I do worry about physical side of it on defence

Eels and Sea Eagles consider Brown-Harper player swap
A discrepancy in wages is a potential sticking point as Parramatta and Manly contemplate a trade of key players before the start of the season.
I like this. Brown is not life-changing but Morgan is excess baggage I feel. We need an experienced fringe forward more than a fringe outside back.

Brown is a hard bastard , I like that !!
And we have centre stocks coming through.

We need a few bastards in our pack to change our nice guy friendly pack image

Yep
Harper is now surplus and brown will add experience to our young forward pack.
Only if Parra go halves on the deal, otherwise, don't think so.
Yep bring on that player swap
I would take brown in a heart beat.

Yep .. every team needs that one player that the coach can point to and say .. "eat all your veggies, do what your mum tells you, and listen to me .. or you will end up like Brownie here "
But he does what we need the others to do .. hit the advantage line at speed, run hard, and tackle like they stole your lollies..

Surely not , what type of a message would this send to the and more in particular pathways , very promising young gun forwards coming through and on the cusp of some regular i st grade footy . Injury prone , best years behind him with some very indifferent form to say the least in recent seasons . Have plenty of praise for general recruiting measures by the Manly recruiting personal over time now but this would be very retrograde and a backwards move surely

Mentioned in another thread , just dumb apart from the salary discrepancy , Injury and form issues , , very inconsistent in recent seasons [ Brown ] . Terrible message to the mainly young and very capable forward line up , most with their best footy ahead of them or close to showing it now .

Big Bastards: 10 of History's Most Influential Illegitimate Children - History Collection
Throughout most of history and across most cultures, calling somebody a "bastard" has been used as an insult to stigmatize those born out of wedlock. Of course, to the extent that a morality system penalizes people for something they had no say in, such as whether their parents were married…

Which one would you suggest?
Perhaps Blackbeard? The rest don't scare me all that much. I reckon I could palm off Eva Peron on any given day.
Bit on par with half hearted Marty for mine, he's been a battering ram for Parra for so long now. Maybe 2 seasons ago, sure, but his best footy has past him now tbh.

Brown brings a lot of baggage. Never rated him to be honest even in his 'prime' and opinion hasn't changed. Acts tough but backs down like a chihuahua when a big dog barks at him.
But I can see an argument to be made if the price is right. I just worry that he might be a bit of a sh!t magnet - hanging out with winners like Jarrod Hayne and Corey Norman, and trying to punch on in public.

Brown brings the Bastardry image and hopefully the Manly pack is feared hated once again

It's a no from me. We stacked with forwards. Harper to Blacktown and backup if needed.
The swap= dumb dumb

Bastardry yes, but not because he is feared. More likely to say 'that pricks a bastard lets go bash him'.
He's a flat track bully. When was the last time you saw Brown get over the top of a proper enforcer forward? Say JWH or Fisher-Harris? He will do well when playing the bottom dwellers of this season (predicting Tigers, Titans, Dragons) but wouldn't make a dent against Storm, Roosters, Souths, Penrith or Cowboys.
When I think of a real bastard opposition player its JWH or Asofa-Solomona. Hate both of them but have to respect what they do for the team. Brown as some sort of enforcer is laughable.
It’s a hard decision, as Brown does add some mongrel, however so too does Fifita and Burbo was fabulous last week, albeit, no mongrel.
Apart from that one game against Cronulla when Harper was ‘rag dolled’, I’ve never really had an issue with him, however, I think he’s behind Koula, Garrick and Parker and, maybe even Myers, who I think, maybe not this year, but next year, will be a starting centre.
Parker did BA for the Maori side last week and I think he’s probably on the ‘outer’ at Manly.
