I understand the concerns with Wello's place in the squad and I share most of them.
At the same time, I don't think you can underestimate the importance of having senior leaders around the squad.
Brown obviously thinks he brings something to the match day squad and team - there are players who could do what he does and probably more, but perhaps he brings other qualities that his prospective replacements don't?
It appears that he's getting a start in the back row this weekend, will be interesting to see how he goes. I for one don't begrudge him a start in his 500th game in a match we should walk to a win (or his place on the bench in the games taking him to 500), but I'd be concerned if he's still making the 17 when the big games come around.
IMO he deserves a hero's reception this weekend on his 500th appearance - a player who has given absolutely everything to this club. Give him a conversion under the sticks and let's have him cross 1,000 points too on his big day.
I'm generally not one for sentiment, but i agree wholeheartedly with this
