Nathan Brown Wins Us the Game

[effnic]

How could i forget Jake with the hand of god field goal rejection. What a legend!!!

Tommy Talau didn’t have the best game but had to massive defensive stops. Stripping that ball from Nanai when they had all momentum + that shot on Townsend with the overlap were great plays

Thought he had another great game. At least 5 clutch moments when he stood up and barely put a foot wrong. What makes you say he didn't have the best game?

He was great for 10-15 mins … yes

Give him Credit for sure

But DCE won us the game

And Jake kept us in it

DCE won us the game with the FG, but he almost lost us the game with the short drop out. I am still trying to work that one out.

You are also correct with Jake's effort play. For those who support other teams, that is why they pick him for origin, and as captain too.

Brown is doing what he supposed to do make in impact when comes on
Great effort from him again

So good off the bench, he comes on when you need that extra energy. I like he and Bully on the bench.

He's always been able to play footy. Has just had his brain explosions and likely will again. Was definitely a key factor in the win.

Not going to say he's the modern day Ben Kennedy, but another solid veteran we've brought in that's leading by example.

Agree. He was our best back after Saab IMO. He got us on the front foot when we were going nowhere. Diffused bombs that most other wingers would've dropped.

Can’t believe we are exalting Brown after thinking back to that Parra game a few years ago at Commwank after Bozo passed… Keppie smashed him that night… how the wheel turns.

Brown had a blinder, bully too, Jake saved that field goal to keep us in it and then there was the cherry on top!

This will be unpopular after Saab scored a hat trick but TT2 did more things that most wingers wouldn't be willing or capable of than Saab did tonight.

Yeah, Brown was great, and his two hit-ups in that last set to get us in range were huge. But Jake saved us by stopping that Townshend attempt, AND he took the final hit-up of the set and got a quick play-the-ball. Credit, too, to Simpkin at dummy half for an excellent pass.

So don't forget:

The drop ball on first tackle 5 metres out from our own try line when we were losing momentum springs to mind. Cows scored of that set to make it 12-18 then again 3 mins later. Thought he should have stayed wider for Feldts try too, have to back your centre to be able to catch a 2nd rower trying to run around him.

BTW I still think he had a pretty good game, maybe I’m just being critical because of how good he’s been this year. Just thought that drop was a big momentum gain for them

His 145 metres & 33 tackles in 56 minutes, topped off with those 2 crucial hit-ups at the end says it all. Well done BFB!

Fair call, the drop ball cost us momentum at a crucial point and we paid a hefty price.

Let me say, despite the broadcasters infatuation with Turbo, it certainly wasn’t Turbo who won us that game tonight. Well done, Brown

It was Daly that won us that game, not Brown. A great game from Browny but Daly’s performance far outweighs anything any other player on that field did tonight. I mean even the line break to put Hoppa down the touch line was the catalyst for our field position that ultimately led to a penalty goal.

 

[TokyoEagle]

Please note that I am unlikely to give Nathan the 3, 2, and 1, but was just ecstatic that we got out of jail with that one, and one NB was a huge part of that. I am sure my post was up less than one minute after DCE's FG.

Brown must be hammering it this season on the MVP and cleaning up in the dally m points awarded to manly this season.

He has turned a number of games for us this season

Our wins, overall, most influential player in those wins

Loved it when he was getting interviewed on Fox. They asked about his roving role. He said Yeah that was the plan, but I was stuffed after 10 minutes. (Not a direct quote, but close enough).

The coaching staff have done a great job of getting rid of the redlining garbage in his game for the most part. He is playing and acting like a senior member of the group.

Chez might’ve got the field goal but you’re right - it was Brown who won it for us with two huge hit up’s in the final set. Inspirational and I can’t believe he’s not starting over the cat Josh A.

Cat ? I doubt you would have gotten up from that but he put on
