He had two great opportunities to implement this theory at the Knights and Warriors, and failed miserably. Evidence at the Knights is he left them as bad as he found them.
He bought through Ponga, Dom Young, Bailey Hodgson from absolutely nowhere.
Then also promoted Tex Hoy and Phoenix Crossland who were dominant juniors.
Reece Walsh for the warriors.

Speak to a knights fan and they’ll tell you brown left them in a pretty good spot talent wise and the new coach has **** it all up

I don’t think he had much of a chance to establish anything proper at the warriors, he was only there for 18 months and due to covid they spent most of that time in Australia
Surely you're not on speaking terms with any Knights fans?

Wasent Brown credited with suggesting a number of ESL players to Stuart prior to him coming back to the NRL.

I’m not trying to give praise to Brown here I am just seeing if it’s not too late to blame the current whitehead situation on him. ..

Brown inherited a complete shambles of a roster from Bennett's tenure two years prior.

Something like 6 players over 30 and a busted Mullen at halfback.

He got screwed over.

Canberra Raiders on hunt to find new recruitment boss

The Canberra Raiders have appointed Dave Warwick as their interim recruitment boss on a part-time basis following the departure of Kelly Egan due to personal reasons. Raiders chief executive Don Furner said they would take their time to find Egan's replacement after he spent about four months in the role.

Warwick's based on the Central Coast and has been working alongside Egan this year. He's worked with Manly, St George Illawarra and Wests Tigers in the past.

Dave W is not a pleasant fellow from my many interactions with him.
