He can't do any worse than what we got I thought Patterson went well when played there earlier in season

Probably, but I don't really think he's an option at half back now. (I bet we didn't get him registered before the deadline)

Yes and it is worth noting most of his early career was forged as a 6.

I am really looking forward to watching him. Let's see how Brown and young Declan Patten handles that as well.

Forecast is shocking so more smash and grab and grunt in the middle may not be a bad ploy.

Reynolds and Drinkwater dont take the line on and even though they know the moves inside and out, they havnt been exactly creative have they ?

Leigh need to enjoy playing this game as Warrington dont seem interested and seem to think they are too good for the middle 8's. We play better away !!

Put Stewart in at 6 ,folk keep saying he's a ball handler.

That is just bad coaching Charlie.

Stewart is a fantastic defender put passing a ball from first / second receiver ? NO ! It makes it easier to defend due to the delayed pass.

So they say, but, for me, he does seem to have difficulty passing, re-adjusting the ball in his hands, before he releases a somewhat 'wobbly' pass!

Trouble is though Harold, that in 'today's game', half backs rarely get the chance to run at each other. In defence, the half backs tend to get shoved as far away from the action as possible, often outside the winger. At the scrum, you usually find the opposing prop lining up against your stand off!

Mind you, with Langi at stand off, the opposition may not be targeting him in defence!

Snowy my post was tongue in cheek, people keep saying he's playing to instructions from the Coaching Staff, but surely they must see it isn't working .

Alan, I'm not sure who on the Coaching Staff thinks he is a ball player, but surely they can see by now he isn't .

It seems to take an age for our Coaching staff to realise anything
Ive said many times that Greg McNally was a better fullback than Brown ! Brown had a nightmare four away games and I don't know why Greg was dropped after the Wigan game?
I'm wondering when Brown is next going to have a good game? He'll want to improve on his last visit to the HJ

"and a slow one at that"

Not the fastest, not the slowest, how many breaks have we made this season where additional speed would have got us a try - not heard anyone criticise Crookes on here but I'm faster on one leg

Brown does a good job, and quite likely no-one else at the club could cover the positions he does (maybe Paterson)

He's also our top meter maker and not played FB much so he must be making yards elsewhere - or the rest of em are poop, and I don't think that's the case

He's not a world beater by any means, but by the same token not many in the squad come near that either

Plays week in week out unless I've missed something- when he becomes nothing but a squad player will be when we are progressing as a team

Good post Col.

Brown however takes to many wrong options for me, he has size on his side yet is reluctant to attack the space, relying incessantly on feeding his winger when his winger is covered. Defensively he is lacking as well.

I don't want to be to harsh as I feel he can hold his own as a winger.

Bottom line is, I expected more of him this season.
