IMO the gap between the two has widened more recently, in that the controlling aspect of the game has become much more important, and it has exposed the lack of players capable of that aspect. Brown may have been forced to play in that role before, but he has absolutely sucked at it.

I'm assuming he mentioned Redcliffe as we're the only two clubs in the region that he wants to stay at.

"We do what we want and answer to nobody".

Refs holding back the Dragons 12-13 metres here.

IMO it's not a speed thing, in that he has no issues getting to where he needs to be. He's a competitor in so may other areas but just hasn't put his body on the line for any of the tries they have scored.

@Sproj @Super Freak Gutherson has put himself in the picture as the last line of defence in every Dogs try, and every one has been a pathetic attempted arm grab.

As if you wouldn't be happy putting on 50 points but I think we need to temper our expectations. We were expected to win, with the Roosters having their weakest roster (potentially ever), and also missing their halfback. And then lost one of their most experienced defensive forwards early in the...

You could see how much the jersey means to him. I can picture him dragging this team to constantly improve and demand high standards, he wants that premiership & knows how much it will take from every player in the squad to get there.

He got right in Collins' face on the first tackle, he's found his Origin aggression.

Carrigan dropping the C bomb caught on the mic hahaha.

Walsh needs to run it straight and hard on kick returns, **** this sideways skipping, he'll get picked off and dominated.

The Storm could do it because they had a core of Smith, Cronk & Slater who could play their career under that intensity. The players around them constantly cycled, most could cop 2-3 years of it but that was it, sign for overs at a struggling club, new journeyman comes in.

No one has been able to play in a dinner suit the way Cleary has. He'll cop a shot every now and again but Lockyer, Johns, Thurston (until he became protected) copped those shots 3-4 times a game and knew it was just part of their job. In fact, look at Cleary's Origin record. I'm sure if he's...

I don't agree regarding Lockyer playing the role of a 7. He played best when he had someone in the 7 role who could do the organising, while Lockyer chose his moments. He would obviously provide leadership and a cool head, but he wasn't good at doing the organising himself. I distinctly remember...

The fictional rort wouldn't require a recipient. Just Uncle Nick purchasing one million Manu jerseys and then welcoming him back from union for $250k per season. The jerseys just sit on a pallet somewhere.
