He himself said July. If he is ahead of that it will be good.

I'm a bit concerned that Brown and Austin could end up getting in each others way given the similarity in style (if not execution).

Fair point but given Brown's experience, and also return from a serious injury, he'll know how to (and be happy to) give Austin the space he needs I think.

Listen to 5live Cullen's podcast. He explains the difference of fit and match fit...and how long it takes to from either side of fit....to reach match fit.

I think you are being a little too sentimental regarding Cullen's comment's
I understand the difference between fit and match fit and maybe a game or two at Rochdale may put him in good stead for the back end of the season.

As much as i admire Cullen, he took us as far as he was capable of but as much as i love the guy he never did much when he left us did he!

He turned out to be a better pundit than a coach.

Brown is scruffy round the edges but he can produce results. Do we think he’s enough to give us the edge over Saints in a final?

Re: Dec Patton : Wed May 01, 2019 8:48 pm  

I'd be very surprised if Brown gets into the team.

Same as last week and the week before but never mind he will be banging that drum anytime now!

Bit harsh this, only saints have a better third choice half, they have had the luxury of not needing theirs as often as well. He has limitations and realistically I think if by the end of the season he doesnt address them then he probably never will. However he does do some very good things things and come up with some very nice assists.

Wonder if letting him defend on the right might help... Needs people around him who can defend, him and Atkins together is a disaster
