He was brilliant tonight. His competition with Inu is actually a good thing.
I'm not basing this just on tonight's performance. He's played really well whenever he's been asked to fill in in first grade. He's just too good to be in reserve grade and if he doesn't start becoming a regular starter for us some othe team will snap him up.He was superb. Keep in mind, though, just how bad the Tigers left edge was tonight. Junior Tia Kalifi or Jonathan Wright might have looked like Rep players against that shambles.
Its crazy the decision Des has to make. Brown has 5 tries this year and is also solid. The scramble to buy backs last year when we were thin on them has given us an overdose of talented backs.I seriously don't know what to do with him when INU comes back.. his such a great player right now? Maybe say seeya later to brown?
I agree. The way Tim Lafai set up Sam Perrett's first half try tonight was just one example of how good he is and how much better he will be if he stays in first grade. I wish Des would play him at left centre, he would go even better there.This guy is too good for reserve grade. Whenever he has filled in, even in previous years, he's always exceeded expectations and played really well. I thought he played really well tonight and set up some good tries. When Inu is back I think Lafai should stay in the centres and Inu can play on the wing instead of Brown (who has also been playing well, but probably doesnt bring as much as Lafai does to the side).

Makes no senseJust a thought why couldn't Brown drop back to the bench as I'm sure he could play as a back-rower/centre/winger coming off the bench that way Inu AND Lafai start.It would prob mean that Halatau drops from the 17 tho.
Why?Makes no sense
Personally i think a back rower than can play in the outside backs (halatau) far more useful on the bench than a outside back that might be able to play in the back row(brown). I certainly not having a go at mitch, i think he has played pretty good so far.Just a thought why couldn't Brown drop back to the bench as I'm sure he could play as a back-rower/centre/winger coming off the bench that way Inu AND Lafai start.It would prob mean that Halatau drops from the 17 tho.
There is no point having a back (especially a winger ) on the bench . They don't see much of the ball and less likely to be injured . It will also ruin the rotation for subs and incase of injury in the back row or centres or even dummy half you need a utility in that position . How about that for sense and I hope that's constructive to you.Why?
Tell me why that would not work instead of just posting a negative comment.Be constructive.
