Spoke to few lads last week at Langtree park for the footy match but nobody really mentioned positions etc.

I think that is his natural position! And not meaning that in a bad way, coming off the bench to give a different option would be really useful, particularly if he gives Roby a bit of a rest. He appears to have a huge heart, but not the skills to make any one spot his own. He may well be the highest paid bench warmer in Super League, but his wages shouldn't guarantee him a starting spot. A bench of TP, LMS, Clough/Walmesly and Hiho would be pretty reasonable, with the likes of Flanghan as backup.

I'd play lance fullback. It's his natural position and made a successful career in the number 1 shirt.

Spoke to a couple of players over weekend & theyre really excited by Brown's arrival. A Senior player adamant he is learning new things under Brown already.
He also thinks are attack will improve dramatically this yr, Gaskell & Lomax working really well together & he reckons Lomax is developing as a player under Brown & will be a different player this yr.
I pointed out we havent had what I consider to be a top COACH since Daniel Anderson, and lets just say he didnt disagree with me. Good vibes from the training by all accounts.

Few of the lads said they are happy with him. They say he thinks out the box and does stuff they wouldn't have done under previous coaches.

They said that about Potter and Simmons, too, when they first arrived! I wouldnt take that as meaning much at all.
If what was mentioned about Gaskell and Lomax is true, and Brown intends to play them as the halfback combination in 2013, then I love Brown already.

Players always big up the new coach when asked officially, but has the above been said off the record? If it has and the poster isn't telling porkies, then its promising. Mind you, unless you're a real negetive nanny, you should be postive about a new coach i reckon.
I'm with you though, if we're going back to Lomaskell in the halves, then hoo-feckin-ray.

Same for me. No point in flogging a dead horse with Hohaia and Lomax in the halves.

| There has been plenty of praise about Brown off record so I think we've every reason to start getting a bit excited about next season. This is certainly the best I have felt about going into a new season for a few years.

| Theres bigging up a new coach which admittedly is the norm, then theres senior players genuinally excited by Brown, his methods & developing players with fresh ideas. First 'real coach' since Anderson.
