Richard Brown one of 10 Force Stars in WA Club Action

[GIGS20]

Now, now GIGS, what goes around, comes around.

That wasn't intended to be a swipe at the club, it just seemed a stupid comment to make, made it SOUND like the club was full of crap players.

Don't forget mate, we're only two or three years out of a similar situation at the Wallaroos!

[Ecky]

So did anyone make it to this game on the weekend?

Brownie got yellow carded! Not a good way to go about impressing Aussie Rob! Very late in the game too and very unwise. Got a good swing in I hear.

Swee... go for uni! We're the underdogs. Australian's love underdogs.

I didn't see the game but know a bloke who did. He says Brownie didn't come to play; he was dicking around in the outside backs, waving to spectators, generally not playing as a and aspiring player should when he goes back to club level.

So I'm told

[Jess]

Yeah that's very similar to what I was told. He just wasn't committed to the cause and they weren't winning and he swung at someone and got himself yellow carded. He apparently looked pleased with himself when he got sin binned and looked like he was just there because he had to be.

Cott ended up losing and he may have cost himself a wallabies cap... remains to be seen.

[goony]

he got sin binned against us last time he turned out for cottesloe - obviously doesnt think too much of club rugby... if he tried cott might have had a decent chance!!

[jazza93]

he always turns up to muck around in club rugby, usually he just annoys they other force players playing.

Henjak used to muck around as well when they were both playing.

sometimes its pretty funny

[GIGS20]

Sorry mate, I don't think demeaning the team you're playing with...or against is EVER funny. Even if you are light years ahead in standard, do them respect of making it look like you're serious about it. On top of that, this was seriously a match fitness strategy employed by Robbie Deans (who saw first hand the effects of rotation and player resting last year) I'd think the brief was for him to have a good hit out and work as hard as was possible in the situation.

Hopefully he gets a cap this season after this debacle!

c'mon Brownie. this is not the same person i know who i respect, straighten up your act

Sad

I know they want to muck around every now and then, playing A-grade rugby would be stressful and they probably need an escape like that, but for some of the blokes in the local clubs that is as close to professional rugby as they will get and they put their whole heart and soul into it and deserve for their efforts to be rewarded. Not for someone to comeback and muck around as if club rugby is beneath them.

It sounds out of character for Brownie, from the handful of times I've met him he seems like such a down-to-earth top bloke. Hopefully he will snap out of and go back to the Brownie who earnt himself a place in the Wallabies squad!!

[Burgs]

Agreed Laura.
Sounds like he may need a visit from some of his Julia Creek mates to bring him back down to earth.

I don't see this as out of character, he threw around some Quokkas for gods sake, there is obviously a huge difference between 'on the company payroll' Brown, who has to always act nice and down to earth and regular off the clock Brown who is a bit mischeivious....

[force addict]

the quokka incident was while he was intoxicated BLT

[Burgs]

It's off the clock Brownie that I have met BLR, you are wrong sorry.
If anything the quokka affair happened on the payroll.
