Good evening Wire fans.
Mitch's problem last season was our use of him as a utility back. He was given the No 1 shirt but, due to our lack of centres, he spent a lot of time in the threequarters. At centre, his lack of pace was exposed, as opponents occasionally passed him on the outside. When he moved to full back, his strength lay in fielding the kicks and running them back strongly. He had one nightmare at full back, in the 'middle 8's',when he couldn't catch anything and was then moved to wing for the remainder of the season. On the wing, he again proved reliable in defence and scored a few tries.
He was probably partly responsible for Bryson Goodwin signing for Leigh, as he was his best man. Ironically, he now follows Bryson to Warrington!
I would say you have got a solid, reliable player in Brown, but don't expect outstanding pace. However, Steve Price has coached him, at Cronulla, so should know what he is capable of.
