[Resurrected] Lewis Brown - 'The Utility Belt'
- Thread starter Dinga
- Start date
Terry Zarsoff
First Grader
Speaking of all things 'riff, I wonder how long that club will tolerate their current 'not quite good enough' endless rebuilding phase, which hasn't yielded much success to date, under coach Cleary? It's now 4 years and apart from last year, they don't have much to show for it.
Surely not much longer. This myth that Cleary is some sort of supercoach is surely over. One of the most overrated coaches out there. Didn't get a premiership at warriors and probably won't with Penrith. Not much to show for a decade of coaching.
Don't be silly.
We'll fatten him up in the pre season .... just like we have a with a few of the others like Hiku. We'll get him on the secret Sea Eagles KFC only diet.

Which begs the question....
Why for say no all the time O mighty KFC video referee god if you're a sponsor?!?!?!?

Living in the demountable.
They gambled on two pump halves and lost.
There are talented players there - Cartwright, Seggy, Whare, Moylan, etc. They just messed up a couple of key things. 1 - the halves. 2 - Kitey didn't really give them much. He was done when we let him go. Injuries have also cruelled them.
Considering their junior base they should always be a force.

Yeah agree @mike walker Moylan is a fantastic addition to any side. They really missed him tonight.

+2. It's like us losing Snake, but without having Hiku or Tommy T to cover..
And to think some reckon we are buying Api to play 6. I hope not or it's going to be a long season.
It's no secret that with the signings we have made we are aiming to play up tempo footy. Brown has extremely fast feet which adds to the style of playe we will be playing under Barrett.
Rubbish??
Let's wait and see....
I have to laugh sometimes at this forum
People judge players on a few games for a badly depleted, badly out of form team with nothing to play for
I remember laughing earlier in the year at the cries for T Trbojevic to replace Snake, Lyon to be moved on, Mason a terrible signing and dismay that Matai wasn't released to the Warriors
Now all four are leading the way for the team............but if we drop a game and miss the finals i'm sure the knives will come out again
Brown is a good player, experienced and reliable with good utility value. SBW he is not but he will certainly add value to the team
Korisau adds spark can defend and will likely be our starting 9 next year

Can't agree about their halves, they are a bloody good combination and Penrith are very tough to beat when both are on the park, as the majority of last season showed. This year they have barely played a game together and the backup halve in John has been injured so that hasn't clicked
Add on top that they have lost their star fullback in Moylan, strike centre in Whare and Mansour on the wing who makes big yards in the tough zone and it isn't hard to see why they have struggled a bit this year
