Nathan Brown

[Carl]

a simple chronology of my opinion of Brown over the past 12 months or so which I am sure is not uncommon.

Grub > Could be handy > Not bad > why is he jogging with the young kids > this guy is good > no he's great > hang on he is brittle > nah he goes ok > he has some penalties in him > he's great > where the hell is he? > apprantly just taking a long run up > I see him at the back fence > He's great....No he's awesome

So true. Love it. Especially where the hell is he?

I had to read it out to my wife. I think she thought I was crazy.

I am glad I have never ever misjudged a player signing / potential of a player (I mean you know I am being truthful by profile pic...the most under rated footballer of all time)

Last saw him at the Mudgee races on the last trip there.....throwing cans down like they were thimbles.

Actually not toxic or dramatic.. if you look at it from the "other" side of reality..
I'm just pointing out that as Manly Sea Eagles "supporters" we shouldn't be so quick to bag out players that we sign.. give them some support and encouragement and look at it with "the glass half full" mentality.
The players are human after all and I'm sure that every one of them wants to be a star not a dud.

"hang your head in shame" sounds a touch toxic and dramatic to me...it comes from a place of perceived superiority. But really, who cares, have a good one 🙂

Oh how Brown would laugh at this thread.

 

[Medowie Eagle]

I started the thread and must admit to not being overly excited by the signing of Brown or Waddell.
They have added much needed depth and in Brown's case a dynamic that the team lacked.

Bugger you lot. I love the idea of Brown at MAN. At the outset. Yes he's slowing down. Am I concerned how many games he'd play? Sure.

But he has what our group lack. That's fight. It's a bit of CU Next Thursday in the parking lot prick. Its experienced campaigner that won't get a tight spincter and big eyes during the grind.

Love the idea of playing him as a small prop forward off the bench in short stints. Lock pushing Jake to prop.

All of sudden with Brown and Lodge. I think it takes some pressure off Jake, AOA. I see them being better because of some experienced pricks standing next to them.

But to truely take advantage of what adding those slowing harder heads in the middle does. We need to add extra speed into and around that pack.

I'm 🙏ING we keep Lawton as a running and ball playing forward. That was missing last year.

If we ain't getting Curran we need our lawman.

Bull has the leg speed at prop or lock.

We need one more middle option with some toe. I don't see Waddell as a middle myself

Just like a Joey G or a Kennedy. Sometimes you've got to take a risk, neither was in there prime.

I was all for this signing. But I was even wrong. He even exceeded my expectations.

If only I’d bought bitcoin when everyone else thought it was a joke.

If only I invested in Apple, when they were a washed up computer company.

If only I bet on Manly to win 21+ in the 2008 GF.

If only I didn’t think that Aaron Groom was the new Messiah.

If only I don’t think that Phil Blake would win us a premiership.

If only i thought that Des mk2 wouldn’t have ****ed over our roster.

No one is right all the time. And….as they say “ a broken clock is right, twice a day”.

We would all love a crystal ball, but please don’t stop with opinions, thoughts or discussions. Otherwise, this mighty Silvertails forum would be boring as hell.

Go Manly and go Nathan Brown

 

[jbb/james]

Telling other posters to "hang their heads in shame" is not toxic, and is just you pointing out posters need to be more positive towards the players?
Calling them "so called experts"....also not toxic?

Lol. Ok then.

Not really getting into this example but in general on ST

Its just this passive aggressive way of playing the man . Belittle the person rather than the content
There is a lot of that on here. It keeps the DCE threads fighting, possibly for years after he retires. All the classic disdains are in there and i know when he is retired , 47 and saves a kitten in a tree at Byron Bay , someone will be looking for me on ST

It gets passionate on here and people are always settling scores,
Scores the other person didn't even know existed .

Hey I won 700 bucks on Manly winning the 2008 GF. It was when Centrebet had that promotion about getting a free jersey if you took out a bet or something so I put it all on Manly and they won, happy days back then, I wish I still had that 700 bucks now lol

He'd use a cherry-evans-picker (no way he'd put his body in danger by simply climbing the tree)

Sorry for the disagree, I meant to hit like.

Perfect..just what all good footy teams need..old school

Lucky you didn’t double down on back to back 2009 wasn’t kind to us.

I won a very big hangover and a broken rib after falling off a table at in the beer tent at the stadium, post match party.

I was leading a Maaaanly chant at the time though.

 

[MadMarcus]

Wouldn’t he just use his Go-Go-Gadget Neck and grab the cat in his mouth?

 

[Disco]

Meh I was underwhelmed at the time and had very low expectations and Brown has smashed them.

And you know what, I'm all for people calling me out and saying I was wrong on this one because......I was.

No shame in it, I didn't belittle him, I instantly got behind him but had low expectations.

Nobody is right all the time.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I had hoped Brown would find his old self playing for his future and he has exceeded my expectations. He is a now an inspirational leader in our pack and just what the doctor ordered.

[MissKate]

What do the rorters fan think of him. Were they disappointed with him or sorry to see him leave. Are they now sorry he did leave? I suppose the same with parra fans

Two most under rated players for mine:

Back: Steven Bell
Forward: Shane Rodney
