Mate Ryles and Barrett will be a team like there were at the dragons The best half (Barrett) Best forward (Ryles ) Best back ( Gasnier ) Lomax is like Gasnier You need to bring Gasnier in to manage this bloke , Gasnier was a very ultra talented player

Poor bloke has to deal with the incompetent management, keeping Lomax somehow and stopping Brown leaving in a year, all while trying to fix the Leagues worst defence and motivating a soft forward pack, goodluck with that

Brown hasnt set the world on fire tbh, pack is out of form and injuries galore. Pretty easy i think, move on the big name props, and buy some backs. Moses missing for 2 months derailed the season, so a good backup half and theyll be sweet. Parra have a stack of younf forwards, Arthur just continued to play his favourites.

Brown is MIA in big games. Young as he is, it would not be all doom and gloom if he left. You could also move Gutho to 5/8 in brown's absence and play Blaze at FB, Lomax at CTW. Just need a winger. Sivo has not been great after knee surgery and Russell is a tad slow and both poor defensively. Simonsson is a great player but in rehab into next year.
