I wasn't a fan of Brown's time. If you'd have told me mid way through his tenure that he'd win the GF I'd have been very surprised.
What he did was random. Not just the GF, but other big games were won somehow, despite us looking poor with the ball for long periods and always a bit shakey out wide. Its still a head scratcher for me know.

KC has had us doing some excellent things. Early in the season we looked very ggod. We had good shape with Vea and Greenwood proving a real handful in their channels. The kick chase was excellent and we had plenty of big front rowers bashing it up. The defence was also very successful.

We don't (and haven't for ages) spread the ball to the 3/4s well, which is why the more physical Turner is getting more joy with the ball than Percy, who would thrive more of early ball in space.

One wonders if KC has got too obsessed with things like a kick chase being the dominant strengths for the team, and is negelecting creativity.

We simply don't test defences, its too easy to read and so easy to defend, we're just relying on the size of our lads to break through, but its too easy for the defence to brickwall us in the middle when we're so predicable. Not only does that make thing 10 times harder for the big men, but you'll see certain players playing with a whole lot less confidence and enthusiasm if they're getting lined up every time.
