Nu's looking ripped as hell. Had to skip leg day so instead has gone 100% on arm day!

There's also a video on his social media of him doing passing training whilst injured.

If he can get fit he could easily stamp his name on the #9 jersey given it's him, JMK, or Lichaa. Lichaa and Brown only signed till end of this season, JMK till end of 2020.

very talented player, maybe been coasting a bit in past, hopefully comes back with better attitude and fulfills his potential
Yeah fitness and the mental aspect have definitely been his down fall. His attitude last year was by all reports terrible. Will be interesting to see if he can turn that around.

Should be in the 17 for sure imo. He’s the best utility we’ve got.

I actually like him, just needs to be more focussed. Get the shit attitude out of his system and could be a solid 1st grader.

I watch him play some games and he's very good, then the next game it's like his unco twin brother is playing. If he gets some consistency into his game and plays anywhere near his potential he'll be good for us. He's 24 years old, so getting into prime hooker age bracket. So whatever it is that's stopping him from doing it every week needs to be exorcised, this year.

He is the best attacking option out of dummy half in the club and it’s daylight second.
Unfortunately dummy half attack is just one aspect of the modern hooker-tidying up the ruck defensively is just as important.
Brown is better suited as a utility offthe bench at this stage. More rocks than diamonds

Pay doesn’t rate him as evidence by junk minutes he got in FG

The potential is there, it just seems like others have said, a mental and fitness issue.
Appears the fitness is on the improve (He looks like RTS in the above photo!), and his hashtag is #It'llturn, hoping he means to turn around his attitude and fight for his spot.
Tighten up his defence and get some consistency and he can be good.

Being ripped is good but its not footy fit he needs the miles in his legs from pre season and unfortunately he's missed most of it.

More like he hasn't trained hard enough or played well enough to force his way into FG, at least not consistently anyway. I'm sure that he'll get rated when he justifies being rated

Pretty sure he was signed by Hasler and the previous board, as others have said don't think Pay rates him or would have signed him if it was his choice.

Has great attributes, but unfortunately does not have the mental capacity ..

This is the same guy that put his mobile phone in a microwave to dry it up, after he dropped it in water.....

He actually believed that by putting his phone in the microwave for 60seconds it would be fully recharged!!!!!
