Once again, I'm going to stick up for him.

The try he scored on Sunday took some scoring. He needs to back himself and his pace more, given the ball in the clear on Sunday in the second half he should have hugged the touch line and not come back inside, he would have been under the sticks, that's a confidence issue.

People are jumping on him and making him a scapegoat, he's got genuine raw pace.

I like Brown a lot, but his defensive positioning was all over the place at times, he exits very, very well though.

I think that if we keep Brown, Caro and Eden together and drill them as a unit could turn into a very dangerous triumverate.

All three have a hell of a way to go in defence, but, if we get them playing as commrades in arms it might really click.

Over to Sandercock.
I think the pair of them, if we keep the

Wigan beat us four times in the regular season during 2011. We beat them twice in the play offs (identical scores each time) and knocked them out of the comp.

League is one thing; play offs are an entirely different beast and, like Leeds, we still have players in our side who remember how to play them, even in knock out mode. So I wouldn't underestimate us.

We just need to remember to keep hold of the bloody ball ...

In all fairness i think that is a good and accurate description of Caro and Brown.
In Caro i believe we have a player who is quite raw which has seen him come up with a few errors and lost quite a bit of confidence as a result.
However, he has something which you either have or don't have and cannot coach into a player and that is... RAW PACE!.
In Brown we have a player who is not quite as fast as Caro but is very strong and usually direct, however, one of his shortfalls is his positioning which you have rightly pointed out as all over the place at times.
Both these players are still relatively young(especially Caro) and if Sandy can iron out their flaws and instil confidence in Caro then who knows what may be possible with both of them in the future.
I believe all rovers fans should reserve any real judgement on either player until probably the back end of next season.

I agree you do well in the play offs right up until the final when you fall apart

Muhaha.

Problem is what he does not have and you also cannot coach - Balls....

You can be the fastest man on earth but if you have no guts, you get no glory.

Nobody crosses the white wash onto a Rugby League pitch without either balls or guts.

It's something you've clearly never done.

Quite clearly you are wide of the mark.

Then, quite clearly, it was a game you were too stupid to understand.

Having played RL for 20 years until I stopped playing at 29 I can state without any question that no RL player has a lack of guts or as you so politely stated 'balls' to say otherwise clearly means you do not know what the bloody hell you are talking about.

You do know that playing RL quite literally means you get the snot kicked out of you on a weekly basis right? You then think that letting yourself get beaten up weekly can happen if you have no guts?
Lordy me today



As an example I was never the best fighter in the world. However my god could I take a beating and stay up if needed simply because I took one every frigging Saturday on the pitch and it makes you used to it.

It's good to know these repeated beatings had no impact on your future mental health mate
