Agree with everything said here. Brown has proven time and again he'll go missing when the best playmaker is out injured. And Newcastle's best playmaker takes his fair share of time off. Massive gamble that I think blows up in their faces.
Agree with pretty much all but I do think that Luai had shown glimpses of 'being the guy' in the way he led Samoa in the 2022 World Cup, I don't think Brown has shown anything to even suggest that it interests him.
Fair point but I think the Samoa example is a little different, a few weeks representing culture is a lot easier to get up for to me, than a weekly NRL grind

That’s fair but it’s at least SOMETHING, Brown has had so many opportunities now to show anything and has continually not.
