Was Brown even playing last night didn’t see him at all

When Brownie came on the game was already gone, hardly good conditions to revel in.

Unfortunately father time has caught up with the older two. Ben's a decent squad player but should not be starting for us. Toms body is nmjust not uoto it Unfortunately. Made a good living off the club.. without paying it back. It's not his fault... but he does need to make a decision to goto england if he wants to extend his career. Be easier on his body. Jake too.

Graham Eadie was every bit as good as langlands in his day…dominated in his first grand final as a teenager

Turbo averages 15 games a season and in those 15 games how many of them has he played well? Hoppa and koula are both better options at #1 these days and he’s on 1.2 mil a season. Jake offers nothing in attack whatsoever (reminds me of an old version of hindmarsh) and he’s on 1 mil a season. Coach ain’t the only problem

Nope nor were the Trbojevics…..bewilders me why most other NRL sides are looking at form, dropping players not performing & giving their young players a go yet we persist with Waddell, Jurbo, Croker etc. Simpkin jets dropped AGAIN for Croker even though he’s been our best 9 by far. Same as last year!!! I just cannot understand the thinking behind it. I’m an ‘on the fence’ Siebold supporter but my defense of him has run thin! I’d be resting Turbo for a lot longer! We don’t need him in his current state. Our backs with Lehi at 1 are fine & not the issue. Our go forward & defense is!!! Burbo either plays backrow or reserve! Jurbo, God love him, is done & offers zero to the team in attack. Croker is not a 9. Simpkin is! Waddell should not be in the 17. For mine MCK offers way more. Yes we are missing Paseka big time & Aloiai (don’t care what anyone else thinks of him). Players like TKO & Brown are goers but we need young blood! Navale, Pua’avase, Patolo, Simione Laifi, Sykes, Hugo Hart, Dunford!!!! Why the fu<k can they not get a go????
Can you tell I’m fu<ken disappointed, pi$$ed off, fu<ken angry, fu<ken confused!!!!
Fu<k I’m going to bed!

I love your passion. Here here!

Nathan Brown has probably shown more ticker than some regular players whom I wont mention.

Turbo is too good a player not to bounce back if or when he's body is firing. But right now his body isn't, his mind isn't.

But right now. If your not the best option. Your not the best option.
