He really is an underrated player. I underrated him for the first couple of seasons, but not any more. He is quality. He has a great short and long pass, knows when to kick and is great at the chip and grubber. Tackles everything and can hit hard. Runs at the line but not too much, just enough to keep the opposition on their toes. So many of our tries have some involvement from Kev. He deserves his chance to face the best in the world, he won't let us down.

Brown adjusts his game to do what the opposition don't expect and this can be said for the likes of Robbo, Bodgy and Brough. What NB managed to do this season was change the weight of their relative roles to suit the opposition of just to freshen things up and it was the way they changed on a match to match basis or even during a match that made it such a successful season for all of them.

Brown can defend, he can pass long and short and time it and he can also attack and break the line. He can do it all, it just depends no what the coach wants from him and when and the relative balance he wants from his playmakers. He will make the odd mistake but it's a sign he's trying to do things. If you don't try then you'll never know.

I can't remember if it was at the Galpharm or at Bradford But Steve Menzies ( one of the best i have watched in his day ) must have been sick of K Brown, he got no change out of him all match, His defence was something special.

I saw his first game for Wigan academy, and he stood out. Of all the young players we have let go he is the only one I would have kept (or brought back). He was very close to coming back to Wigan for next season but Huddersfield offered him a better deal (and well played to them).

I hope he has a really good trip down under.

Good luck to him.

He was already contracted until 2012 prior to signing his new deal this season. So if he had gone to Wigan there would have had to have been a fee. And probably a big one.
