They've paid top dollar to bring in a bloke who, no doubt on his day is up with the best players in the game. But they've brought him in to do a job that he hasn't proven he can do and so the pressure is going to be huge on him. But for the club itself. I just think it's a huge gamble.

It is, in my eyes, the most contentious signing in terms of ability versus asking price in an aural history. I don't think we've had a bigger signing for a player that I don't think is worth a million bucks to get one point three.

You've got a top fourteen.

You can't look at the way Dylan played on the weekend because Paramatta were pretty ordinary. But when he played with Mitchell and they're at their best break and there's a partnership, do you think the way he plays is so direct? Do you think he will open up Kaylen Palmer.

Yeah, I think he will open up Klen.

There's no doubt about that because just as he's a really good player, you know, so he's got the great footwork, speed, He's.

Play the ball from Brown is going to create time and space that Calen doesn't have at the moment. You know, any any danger or any threat inside of Kaylan at present is going to make him a better player than what he already is. And Kaylan's playing some great footy over the past couple of seasons. But I think that the big one is you know that the game control the genuine seven that the wins premierships, because that's essentially what they're bought him for.

He'll be first receiver at paramattas we know, he's on the left hand edge and Mitchell runs the show. He's not as cruel said a half back per se. But look at Cooper Kronk, look at Jerome Hughes. That can be molded into as this.

I was disappointed in what Dylan Brown delivered when Mitchell Moses was out last year. When a fire mate as their main man, go down, sometimes it's really good learning and development for you to go wear the seven and find out what it takes. And he moved halfback and didn't really do too much.

Well there it is in two of the sharpest minds in Knick on Dylan Brown whatsoever. But questioning whether were just saying he's an out and out six, he's not a seven.

The other thing, going back to Doggie's point a moment ago about Jerome Hughes, I think there are similarities that potentially Dylan could turn into that running style seven.

That's what's happened with Jerome Hughes down in Melbourne with Bellamy. He's put years into this Blake to making him the player is today. The difference for the Knights is they're paying top dollar right now for him to potentially be that player down the track. And I think when I look back on Dylan Brown and how good a player he can be, I'll go back to the Test series before last year when they were playing the Kiwi's in the semifinal, Australia playing the Kiwis and he was not cited in that game. The following week he came out and he was nearly the best player on the field in the final. So that's what he's capable of. But too often we see what he did in that semi final. He has to do that every week if he's going to be on that sort of money up there?

But my concern is just as much for the fans and the club up there, because this is a long term deal and if it backfires, how do you get out of it?

I think the concern is when Sally got there and we spoke about it on here, is that the cat was a mess. It really was, and then he's had to clear the decks and make a few moves. And this is a lot of money to spend on a player like Dylan. But yeah, and I'm not saying it's not going to be a success, and they have home to the world. It could very much. It could be a master Strogan. Sally's renowned for it too. He's made some magnificent calls as as a recruitment officer in the past, so you know, his record speaks for itself.

Not for the club though the player, so obviously Newcastle learn off Paramatta not to give the player the option. It's a club auction and they're claiming it's to protect both parties.

What's our thoughts on this?

What's our thoughts on this?

Well, They've probably got a year or so to make sure that they can prove to him that it will work, because you look the rumors, the mail doesn't go away that there's interest from the roosters. Ponger is if he's not the best player in the game, he's in the top three. He's certainly as dangerous as anyone out there. He can carry a team. And you know, like if they don't succeed, I struggle to see how they could keep him long.

I think a Sharp will be the one will take just as much pressure off Kaylen Pommer as Dylan Brown. I think he's more of a key at the moment. His roll on the side, well, Sharp Sharp is.

And that's why Brown has to go there as a Saiven Sharpe is that he's the same, isn't He's a running five ag like when he took off from dummy half the other day. He's an opportunist and he's got blinding speed and that look. When I watched the game on the weekend, I thought, jeez, you've got a future here. This is a pretty brave call from Adam O'Brien to move him to the halves this year. And I thought, first up it was an outstanding six. Say he's got the potential to be a great five at The concern is having him with Dylan Brown as your heart's pairing, because the other bloke has to take control of the team.

Who's the chief, is the maestro. It's going to has to be Brown, there's no doubt about that. Now who will replace him at PARAMOUNTA? The race is on and here are a couple of players or some ideas that we've come up with throughout the day. And unfortunately for West Tigers fans turn.

So clearly Mitchell, if called upon, would be there to try to help Lua Jerome away from the Tigers. He's off contract sorry as of November one this year. What's the clause for Jerome end of twenty six so both he and Galvin are available if they hit the open market as of November one, What wasn't.

Absolutely, yes, are the Eels a chance they blaze Talungey, Lucky Galvin and Ethan Sauners? Right, so there are three young paramedic kids. Are they a chance of investing in their seventeen and nineteen year olds and putting all the money and hoping that one of their good young kids come through and doesn't go play at another club.

In fairness to Paramatta, they were in a bit of a bind with Sanders and Ta Lungi, weren't they, because they thought they had Moses and Dylan Brown locked up long term. And for Ethan Sanders, you know, when the Raiders were chasing him, the opportunity to play first game potentially earlier was you know it was that was probably more important than the money that was available. So that's the problem for a club like that to invest in the future when someone can come and pinch them. I'd like to see Paramatta though, you know there's there's there are players out there. Wish Art would be a great example of a guy who's looking for that opportunity to step up and.

If I look at this now, I think I couldn't see LOI, although I think it's it's a good idea and a possibility if as don't go so well this year and MAUI get second thoughts, that's an option. But Galvin Ben a paramount of Junior. He's got the same agent as Mitchell Moses. You know, he is a great player in the making, and that to me makes more sense. And he's obviously not quite comfortable at the Tigers because they've offered him upgrading extensions and he hasn't taken it. And again I go back to the agent, same agent. Right, do we see this is as a big chance?

Leave, but it's an early indication that he's still a little bit unsettled about his surroundings. You mentioned the agent obviously, Mitchell Moses. Agent Isaac Moses is also the manager of Lachland Galvin. Paramatta's got about one to one point two million up their sleeve through the Dylan Brown money for the next few years.

And I think now it's you know, it's got to swing back to the number seven.

I think though, with a problem and I've heard it mentioned before and I've certainly seen it over the years watching a lot of junior footy, is that there's so much structure in junior now, but there is Gordon, and it's a problem because there's so much structure with the young halves at the moment that come through the game, it takes a lot of their natural talent. When you're a young player, you could play all that eyes up footy and you basically went out and you weren't really coached, You just went out and played. And now almost every system I'm talking right across the country, they watch the big games and there's so much structure on these kids that they're probably overthinking their role instead of just getting out there and playing free flower for it.

Now from left field you've gone with Bevan Frenchie Doggy just quickly is great. Great in the Super League over in Vegas, he said it a light would he come back to his old club in the halves.

Well, he's a paramount of player as you know Brath and we saw in Vegas what he did. He was also i think man of the match in the Super League Grand Final last year with which Wigan won. He's got a lot of a friends still at Paramatta. He does have a long term deal oh at Wigan. But what's a long term deal worth these days? And generally both you're a player manager, you understand that if a gun player and this boke is goes to England, there's generally clauses in there that if the end of rull come knocking, I can go back home again.

Six if you interesting to see how he would come back from Super League. I think it's a fascinating rugby league story. He played the outside backs here for paramount. He goes over there and is the best player in the competition as a half. He's come on leaps and bounds.

Airly Manly DCE Wow, you're watching him the other day. He's thirty six years of arge. I think he turned thirty six last month. And if I was Manly, I'd be putting a deal on the table now for at least the next two years and paying him full freight. Now you would like he is such a good player. He looks like he's got so much football ahead of him. They're so hard to find these top halfbacks. Why wouldn't you want to keep him for as long as you can.

You look at those ten year deals. We make a bit of light of it, Braith, and I'm not a fan. I think it's just absurd. But DCE one is the only player I think where the ten year deal has been a raging success.

He came through though and in his first year won a premiership. Correct, you know he'd proven that he was capable of doing that. But in saying that again, you go back to the fat Manly haven't won two thousand.

Because he's running game is still strong and that's one of his assets. But as he gets slower, you watch you know the Thurstons and a Jason Smith, they get smarter. They're just their game, smart kick kicking game.

It's been a raging success since he signed it and they haven't won a com you know what I mean, Like that's it's rolling, it's rolling the dice there at Newcastle. But it would you reckon he'll he'll play Origin, He'll stick with the Origin or.

Who's the next best Queensland seven at the moment, But Sam Walken's out injured. Will ben Hunt's proven Yeah yeah, Tom didn't those six months there. But ben Hunt's proven that he's best spot playing Origin. He's teaming up with Harry Grant at Walker.

Let's take a look at the sports Bet team selections for round two and there's some big ones or in for the Pairther's back on the wing, Alm he moves to center. Humphreys retains his half spot for the Bunnies and Dodd named in New South Wales Cup. Now now I dropped to the reserves list, replaced by o'donald the Cowboys. Lane returns for the Eels, Bullet and Chorus out huge inclusions for the West Tigers and much leaders and for sam Ai returns after that Round three ACL last year, which is a great return there for the Gold Coast Titans.

They had no option, did they like you? He came on in that trial match against the Dragons. He was outstanding there on the weekend. He was superb. He's so strong, he's so calm, he teams up well with Cody, tackles everything that moves and he's kicking game like. He not once did he really look under pressure.

But to keep him struggle. The only way you see it changing If the nine gets injured, he might have to push in and play nine because he's a bigger body and that's where he had most of his pre season.

Everyone's going to give him time. But the fact of the matter is he is in New South Wales Cup this week, so it becomes a talking point. The other young guy has come in and from what we've seen so far, and it's very early days, but he looks like a player that could stay there for a few years.

He's come from a different comp I'm sure the club's going to stick by him, but you've still got to send the best players out on the field. You can't kid yourself and think, well, you know, we made this decision because we're paying him so much money to play the other It's.

Just been a bizarre decision from the start of the DoD One. It really has, because all reports coming out of Super League from the second they signed him was it. I hate saying it, but like he spoke, I spoke to a few people over there and they said, you know, he's he's a good player in Super League, but a lot of a lot of the people were shocked that he signed for so much to come over here and play in the top grade and in the best league in the world.

He's fearless Toddy peytonough, wasn't he because remember when he first signed he got teal Mala off side by dragging him off the field and he was getting fifteen to twenty minutes. He got his gun player off side within it at the first two weeks. Now skip forward a couple of years he's got and then I dumped from first grade after game one.

Hears and Carrigan through the middle led the way they carved him up on both edges. Hunt was fantastic, Reynolds was terrific. You think about long term when Ezra Man comes back into the into the equation, what do they do with him? I think it gives the Broncos an advantage that probably they never would have got if Ezra Man hadn't received the suspension he did. Because now we know that Reynolds and Hunter getting on in years, potentially they won't play every game in the season. It just gives them another option, doesn't it.
