If dropped i think its a shocking decision. He's miles better than Fitzy and hasnt been bad at all over the last few weeks. If injured, disregard….when is he back?

I have a feeling Sheens is rotating Brown, Daniela and Fitzy, Keep them all keen & interested in case TNT doesn't recover well from his injury.

That is exactly what the Fonz is doing.
It is definately a rotation thing. I am all for it. Give these guys a taste and get them used to the game environment. It is smart coaching by the Fonz.
I hope some others get a go as well . . . . .

i hope he was simply dropped.
i would grade him c- during his stint here so far
i can't see how i could grade him any higher.

He hasn't been setting the world on fire. He was alright for his games against the Eels and Raiders but he was certainly down on form against the Cowboys. Apart from natural ability I'd say confidence will be the biggest challenge for him each week.

Mitch Brown…. Its hard to believe he played over 40 games for the Sharks. Hardly looks anything like a first grader.
If it was me making the calls I'd put him in the same bin where we put Matt Rieck, Michael Crockett, Sam Harris, Corey Payne and Nick Youngquest.

The concept is good but if you are gonna rotate someone why rotate people like a past it winger like Fitzhenry and Brown. The are old enough and experienced enough where if there not htiting there straps they really shouldnt be cutting it. Would much rather see guys with little first grade experience rotated in week out like Pritchard, Daniella, Mullaney, Lazarus, Taumata, Schirnacks (i no there forwards), Woods.
Brown to me is a solid winger and thats it. I was very dissapointed in brown on saturday. In a game where the forwards were battered and bruised,playing double the amount of minutes they should due to injuries, he did absolutely nothing to get in and help them. I doubt he touched the ball more than 4-5 times.
Fitzhenry, on the other hand, had just as bad a game, gave away a penalty and dropped a standard pass, and did nothing really positive. Why youd keep a 28 year old (thats a guess), slow winger contributing nothing, over guys who are 20 and coming through with potential is beyond me

Brown is an avergae State Cup quality player.
But the Fonz would not have dropped him. No way. The Fonz rarely drops players especially wingers. But he is a horses for courses coach. I really hope the younger players get a start and get rotated in. Then come Round 16 or 17 we wont be blooding anyone at the time when the whips start cracking. They all would have had as the Fonz calls it 'a taste'.

Brown is average, but he's better than Fitzhenry.

Brown is a solid player who didn't do a lot wrong.
While it was obvious he was only the temporary choice I think it's disappointing he was replaced by Fitzy.

I had high hopes for Brown this year, but I must admit he hasn't been showing too much at this stage.
Yes, he hasn't done much wrong, but he hasn't really kicked on either. Having said that, it's early in the year. Hopefully he can turn things around.

so far he has had 2 bombs come his way.parra and cowboys
he fielded neither.
he also missed 2 in the trials.
did he catch any in the trials,because if he didn't then that is 4 bombs and he has come up with nothing.
i'm sure this is why he wasn't named.
notice as soon as brown dropped that bomb fitzy was moved onto the wing in defense.
his dummy half runs have been average.against the eels was his best run and that was because ryan got a quick ptb.
c- in my books
are you grading him higher than a c

I didnt notice the dropped bomb against Parra. His miss against the Cows wasnt good and you would expect more from a guy who is meant to be an out and out fullback.
I would like to see more of him before passing a final judgment. His lack of acceleration and genuine pace is of the greatest concern to me.
