News Dylan Brown open to offers to leave Parra

Ive always stated that there are 4 attributes to 5/8th play..... kicking, passing, running game, defence

I think Brown hits the mark on more of these attributes and more frequently than Burton does.

Burton has a better kicking game. But Brown shits on Burton in both running game and passing. Defence is about equal.

On that basis id pick Brown all day ahead of Burton at 5/8th.

I'm old school so I'd add creativity to those attributes you mentioned.

HB should be our reliable rock, 5/8th should chance his hand intelligently.
 
That st george wanker winger has reason to ask for the money with this shit going on lol...

If anyone offered us Wishart or Galvin for Burton, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

In fact a heartbeat is too long. Take it now!!!

Galvin was shit in the trials and on the weekend.. great rookie season but let's just see how he goes over the next few years
 
Lol knights, they love being mediocre! Hutchinson is twice as good and a qtr of the price, rookie mistake!
 
They will regret that decision. He’s very overrated on the field and has been linked to a heap of dodgy associates off the field. Thank goodness the dogs didn’t go for him. He is just not worth it as a package.

Having Bulla and Api back will bring the best put of him.

Yep thats the traditional model.

Im a firm believer that you need at least 1 standout /elite level half. That could either be the HB or the 5/8th.

You cant have both on potential. One has to be established.

Thats where we fall short. Losing out on Ben Hunt was a killer blow for us. We might make finals, but we'll be cannon fodder.

And until this changes, there will be no premiership for the Bulldogs.
 
In other news Dylan Brown has been taking photos of the Knights recruitment team on their annual sodomize a farm animal night, but has allegedly lost his camera.

I saw more in Galvin in his short trial hitout than i saw from Burton in both the trial and St George game.

Galvin is a class act and will be one of the best players in the game in afew years. Mark my words.
 
Wouldnt surprise me if Manly had a crack at Galvin knowing DCE will retire sometime in next 2 years and they can shift Brooks to HB to allow him to play 5/8th.

They love poaching tiger’s players as well.

brown is a superstar but i agree not worth the money they are paying him.
but great job by his management getting him the dollars who also pay me!!!
 
Brown has had Moses to control the team his whole career. Now imagine if burton had Moses to steer the side around. Ha seriously the hate Burton gets on here is diabolical. Anyone see how brown or Galvin go without a genuine [emoji[emoji6]] steering the ship. Burton is more of a [emoji[emoji6]] for us then a [emoji6], the game on the weekend he’s kicks were put on a dime all afternoon. Let’s not forget he’s a great defender also. I will keep Burton over those any day of the week m, will only trade him for Munster.

I think it’s a last ditch attempt to keep ponga. Ponga has prob said he won’t take up his option unless he gets some help.
 
Knights just doubled down on the worst halves recruitment I’ve seen.

Looking back the last 5 years they’ve gone through about 10 different halves with not ONE given the reigns for any extended period. Now, none of them have proven they were capable of having the reigns, but when you’re continually getting new mediocre halves to take over from the old mediocre halves, you’re in a constant state of mediocrity. You’re operating under hope, and that’s fine because you do need a level of faith in your halfback especially. But Knights haven’t had a 7 really take control for long enough to keep the job.

Off the top of my head these players have gone through the Newcastle halves mill in recent years: Clune, Crossland, Clifford, Cogger (so many C’s hmm) Milford, Hastings, Gamble, Pryce and even Ponga was tried at 5/8th for a minute.

You have to go back to 2018 when they had Pearce and Watson as their last decent halves pairing.

While Brown is one of the better halves they’ve recruited, not for the ludicrous price they’re paying and he isn’t a halfback, so how are they that much better off? They still lack a quality organising half. Brown, Sharpe/Pryce, Crossland and Ponga in the spine. Some good footwork and individual skill but practically zero game management, and kicking game? Umm nothing from Brown and Sharpe afaik.
 
The Knights got bamboozled. I think that may be one of the worst deals I’ve seen. Signing him is one thing, but signing him for 10 years for over a million is absolutely insane. His agent must be counting his lucky stars of how he’s been able to fool Knights into such a huge deal. It would be hilarious if this doesn’t do enough for Ponga to stay and he ends up leaving (which I think he leave do eventually). Jesus, Knights management is inadequate. I know Parra and their fans will be happy to see the back of Brown too, especially after last week’s effort from him.
