Have it on good authority he's signed for Wire. Whats he like? How come he's played very little for you as he had a serious injury?

Thanks.

Yeah this is true

Re: Mitch Brown : Thu Nov 16, 2017 3:15 pm  

Just been officially confirmed by Wire.

What's he like?

Re: Mitch Brown : Thu Nov 16, 2017 3:19 pm  

Good player we did not offer him a contract for some reason

Re: Mitch Brown : Thu Nov 16, 2017 3:39 pm  

Decent player, but ended up being a handy utility player which I'm not sure is worth using an overseas spot up on. Best trait as a full back was ability to start sets strongly with his kick returns, but lacks the pace or ball handling you'd get from most full backs in SL. Moved to centre to cover Tonga's injury and seemed to struggle defensively. Opponents would tend to just run around him. Ended up on the wing where he looked decent enough, but not enough games to really judge.

He'll do well if given a decent run at full back or wing, in a team that's setup to be based on strong starts to sets from the back 3, and if full back, has enough playmaking at 6,7 and 9.

Great bloke always gave his all, FB is his best spot but could cover anywhere. All the best Mitch

Best mates with Bryson Goodwin. Bryson was Mitch's Best Man at his wedding. Will offer utility value all across the outside backs. His best position is Fullback. Really nice bloke. We offered him a contract but it was a lot less than what his previous contract was so he left it unsigned. We then moved on to other targets. Looks like his relationship with Bryson has swung it Wires way.

Cheers guys. Looks like he'll be playing wing for us probably with Bryson inside of him so hopefully there is some chemistry there.

Wing probably his best position in all honesty. Defensively can be caught out at times, especially at centre but all in all he had a pretty sold 16 or so months with us.

Good luck to the lad.

Sums up my opinion exactly.

Very reliable, but for me, doesn't have the pace for a SL back.

Thanks for your efforts Mitch and good luck at Warrington.
