Oh NB. You are a forward leader. You made every forward around you go to another level. And for an old bloke. Your line speed. Leading by example. š¤
It was ridiculously good.Love this quote from The Roar game summary āNathan Brown was cheered off in just his fifth game on the Northern Beaches after a performance of almost masochistic intensity, throwing himself into James Fisher-Harris, Isaah Yeo and Moses, returning the ball like he had a personal vendetta against potential kick off rule changes.ā
Yep, and Martin Lang agrees with you too.I would just add that he can't do that on his own every week coz he won't survive. That performance needs to lead to all the big fellas taking their turn ....... and they have in the past but need to step it up each week. Coz I noticed that last run he did before he came off to our standing o, did not go so well for him and he limped off with a bit of knee injury. Hopefully not a big deal but a warning that he can only do that sort of thing so many times before it catches up with him.
There are comparisons with Ben Kennedy in this thread. I think thatās off the mark. But I do think he could be our new Josh Perry and I am very happy with that!Perry's first hit up.

Next week Brownie needs to ball play and leave the straight hard runs to Jake.I would just add that he can't do that on his own every week coz he won't survive.

When a fit and in form Aloiai doesn't make your 17, you have a formidable prop rotationNathan Brown is exactly what our pack needed he's aggressive and goes hard and he's taking the likes of Toff go with him. When we get a fit lodge back in the 17 our pack is gonna be one of the best in the comp. I think Josh a probably misses out when that happens and he's been much improved this year.

Depth is a wonderful thing
I'd love toff and brown starting but I think they bring from the bench is more important
and pasekaCan he show Haumole how to run like he does?
The way he went after Fisher-Harris was bloody fantastic. Memories of Spud v Harrigon came flooding back. I felt like Iād had a hit of adrenaline!He was like a shot of adrenaline exactly when we needed it, so kudos to Siebold for bringing him on at that exact time as well .
Nathan Brown is a beast. This is as good as I've ever seen him, against possibly the best pack in the entire league.
