Perfect sign to be placed above the Morro toilets at LO.I’ve already made a sign - “Let’s go to Brown Town!”
Good to see you off the fence 😂Brown is a dud. He is about as bad as Woods.
Well with Klemmer they've at least solved our lack of aggression if it's trueHow does Brown fit in with guys like Klemmer, Stefano, Pole, Papali'i, Matamua, Blore, Twal and an incoming Bateman?
Good times that game....three hit ups at blore for 3 smashings....If we talk about the mongrel of Brown dont forget how Blore owned him in that game a couple of years ago. Brown thought he was going to "enforce" young Blore that night & got b#iched. Blore 1 , Brown 0

Add Elliott to that list - they are really assembling a fine bunch of personalities at Newcastle.AOB and Ponga combined with Hastings and Gagai... lol end in tears
Zero current representative front rowers and an over reliance on a bunch of kids as depth. Best pack we've had in years but far from one of the best in the comp.If we get Brown & Bateman I think we would have one of the best forward packs in the competition.
Yeah, he must have taught them how to bow to the opposition.Who ?
We had a martial arts expert that was pretty well qualified under Madge.

Hardly Dads Army - Api is the oldest at 30. Starting pack has an average age of just under 28 and bench 22.5. Look at the experience of the starting pack though - combined 808 NRL games and 109 Super League, 22 S.O.O and 50 Tests. Quite impressive.Basically a whole new pack but has a slight smell of dads army about it. They'll get us into games this year but doubt if we have the points in us to capitalise.
Looks good but I don’t think I want to see the roosters figuresHardly Dads Army - Api is the oldest at 30. Starting pack has an average age of just under 28 and bench 22.5.

Will Smith, as you have said,is a key player, None of us knows who will partner Brooks, either AD or Laurie, and to be honest all 3 are no certainties to own the position. Laurie and Stains will fight out the FB position, which i think Stains will win, AD will probably have first dig at 5/8, where doe Laurie go? Either way i think Smith would be better value then Laurie or AD as 5/8, till such time as we buy a quality 1/2 or 5/8.If we get Brown & Bateman I think we would have one of the best forward packs in the competition & I would also sign Will Smith on an NRL contract as our utility that would round out our top 30 for 2023.

He has no mongrel, he just has crazy eyes cause he is cooked.If we talk about the mongrel of Brown dont forget how Blore owned him in that game a couple of years ago. Brown thought he was going to "enforce" young Blore that night & got b#iched. Blore 1 , Brown 0
