Nathan Brown Impact?

[maxta]

I always thought Gosi was pretty good when he played for us, mate, but then again, my judgmental skills are in my arsehole. I thought the day we signed David Vaeliki was the day we got a world beater - hahaha.

Fox had moments it dropped the ball 50% of the time and when watching opposition try replays, he was often the culprit 🫣
Yeh Vaileki got me too mate 😅

Watching Lodge about to box jump in Manly Way video , I immediately sat bolt upright ( doesnt happen much , except when the Mrs announces to the whole unit block I’m sleeping on the sofa, again) but i wasn’t sleeping , was thinking , no way, not with his knees, BANG nailed it … looked strong and stable , not like being gang tackled , but a good sign for Week 1 Jan .. ? Football gods owe us a few more fit footie players in 2024…hoping

So Here we go yet again.

Today Brownie put Tom through a gap up the middle for Turbos 2nd meatpie of the day against the Queens.

I can't say I can ever remember Brown being what you'd call a ball playing lock.

But gee, Brownie setting up try after try with nice or soft hands seems to be the news flash on repeat this off season.

Fingers crossed......

Good to see Nathan getting into it today. I said years ago I wanted to see him in our side to replace Choc Watmough. Not sure he can have that same impact nowadays though but I'm hoping a capable pickup even a bench replacement if we get a few backrow injuries.

Can't knock this guys commitment to the new jersey!

Manly recruit risks missing birth of child to be in Las Vegas

Nathan Brown is so keen to repay the faith the Sea Eagles have shown in him that he has gone to the US knowing his wife could give birth while he’s away.

Nah, that doesn't work for me. I get passion, and I always demand the absolute best from our players and club, but family first, ALWAYS in this very short life of ours. If he missed the trip due to that, I'm sure not a single soul would hold that against him.

I hope the birth goes off without ANY complications, and it's all smooth sailing and he can celebrate with a win under his belt.

I won't ever question his commitment to our emblem, I don't think anyone can, now (and probably no-one does, already).

Brown, like Lodge, knows he is on his last NRL gig and a critical moment for the long term financial benefit of his family. If his wife is ok with it so am I (if he performs.... if he doesn't yeah he has made a dud call).

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Brown will have a big year.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Yes I think we could see some good football from him, stretching into a second, third and maybe a fourth season in Manly colours. Potentially another ‘cameo Manly great’, a la Ben Kennedy or Joe Gulavao.

Personally, I don’t think it’s commitment to our club or emblem, more a desire to take an opportunity at a vulnerable stage in his career. If he was contracted at the Tigers and they were in Vegas, he’d do the same thing.

I wish him all the best , go get em son!!

What I like about The Veteran Nathan Brown is that he Still has some Venom in him
Looking forward to seeing him make an impact

 

[LeonardCohen]

Still don’t like the guy but fair play to him, it was a good performance today.

He was one of our best forwards. Still haven’t seen Aloai

 

[Dion Johnson]

I wasn’t sure on how he would go after a disappointing season at the Rorters, his commitment to play was massive, says a lot about his mindset and attitude.

Could win the 13 jumper if he keeps playing with that energy and no errors.

 

[Bloke on the hill]

I've never thought much of him, BUT he seems to be trying his best for Manly & I like that!

Says a lot about a player on a minimal contract for only one year and first game at a new club.If he’s still playing like that after 15 or so games without being suspended prior,I’ll then give him a pass

I reckon he’ll go up a notch when he finally gets to play with Lodge if he lasts that long.

Had one filthy move in him today.

 

[mickqld]

I'm thinking Seibold has determined that we need some grub factor in our forwards. Lodge and Brown certainly bring that but it needs to be tempered with intelligence. We need it to be an intimidation factor not a giving away penalties factor.

 

[The Royal Soup]

he was absolutely brilliant and got us going forward and on the front foot, completely outplayed Oshay and Paseka who i thought were not that great. Will be good when we get Lodge back
