Brown has probably started more games in the halves over his career than at hooker but the latter is clearly his better position.

Remember seeing him play stand off for Cronulla in his early days and thinking wow I wish we could sign someone like him.

Couldn’t believe it a few years later when he joined Featherstone in the championship.

Not sure if it’s the injuries, he has had some serious ones, but seems to have lost a bit of pace?

Better suited to hooker now I think.

Roll back the years on this forum and let’s do a score predictor

RL is a game of skill, brute force and confidence

We’re lacking all 3 currently

I’ll say Dragons 46-6

On to the game, I'm not sure the London halfbacks will kick that good again this season

Said the same thing last night.

Every kick was inch perfect.

The one for Kershaw to score only had to be slightly harder and he would have knocked on or missed it. But it was bang on.

Just rewatched Storeys interception....Nu Brown really didn't fancy trying to chase back did he, hands on hips just watching it happen

With Tindall due back soon it will be good to have 2 young wingers with genuine pace on the flanks. Been waiting to see how quick Martin was in open field. He's quick.

If Carlos can get back to somewhere near his old form and Sutcliffe can put a string of games together then the 3/4 line doesn't look too bad.

Why was Severs unused might as well have put Balmforth on the bench and given him 20 minutes rested Danny. Walker pass gone backwards we stroll to a victory but we are constantly putting pressure on ourselves making stupid errors(Ligi's pass) and London showed us how to kick on the last plays yesterday, very poor all round apart from Ashworth, Smith, Staveley, Russell in parts, Martin and Bullock/Brown did ok.

Do wonder if that forward pass had been Wigan or Saints if it would have been given?

I know the ball travelled forward but I thought the rule was that if the ball travels backwards out of the hands, but momentum takes it forward, then it’s okay? This looked a classic case of that?

As someone who has pointed out Lane’s errors recently I want to give him a bit of praise. Thought he was much better and didn’t do anything wrong? Loved his pass inside to Ligi for Brown’s try.

I cannot understand having an unused substitute full stop.

It was a strange bench all round tbh.
