Decent lad and a real shame for his career to end like this just as he was about to play in probably the best team he's ever played in alongside Blake Austin. If he's one of the best players you've ever seen though, you haven't watched many games.

That's the problem you have jeannie when you watch your rugby on television, on the other side of the world, edited highlights don't always give a true picture

I have seen Andrew Johns, Johnathan Thurston, Peter Sterling, Brett Kenny, William Slater, Cameron Smith, Reginald Gasnier, Graeme Langlands, Walter Lewis, Robert Fulton, Malcolm Meninga, Steven Rogers, Gregory Inglis, Latrell Mitchell, Cooper Cronk, Shaun Johnson, Stacey Jones, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Henry Paul, Roger Millward, Samuel Burgess, Martin Offiah, Ellery Hanley, Garry Schofield, Jonathan Davies, Brian McTigue, Richard Huddart, Malcolm Reilly, Keiron Cunningham, James Roby, Thomas Bishop and Alexander Murphy play the game.

Kevin Brown was never even remotely close to the class of any of those players.

For once jean I agree with you well said

It's not the same though, seeing them on the telly.

Shame for him as this season was probably his best chance to finally get close to some silverware. At a time when the sport has an embarrassment of bad behaviour and off-field antics, we can at least look at KB and applaud his professionalism and clean-cut lifestyle.

You are correct. It's not the same seeing them on television. That is why I have made the effort to see the majority of them in real life.

To be fair that's just his perception of the player, no body can take that away from him personally, some of the best players I have ever seen play the game may not be considered great and some allegedly great I would not rate at all.

Decent player Brown shame for him having to quit.

Nobody wants to hear of a player call time due to injury. Good luck for the future to KB.
As for his best chance of silverware, he played in both finals in 2018. For some, it just doesn't happen.

Were you living in Carcassonne at the time?

Of course Carcassonne was one of my residences. But as you know I am a world traveler, and I have made the effort to travel worldwide to important rugby league games over the years.

As mentioned, a decent but not amazing or outstanding player.

Always a shame when a player has to give up because of injury though.

And a world cup final in his 30s. Im sure when he looks back he will be happy with his career and he should be.good luck to him

Saw all of the above play in real life. No room for a legendary French player who has a statue at the Carcassonne ground? Nickname 'Pipette'.

He's a night porter in a South Sydney Hospital and a life member at Cronulla Sharks....the extent of his travel was 2 years puling pints in London and a few weeks in a VW Combi travelling through Greece....
