NRL: Canberra scored seven tries in a thumping win over Parramatta, with the Eels finding no answers across the park in defence.
Simply put, the Eels are in a nosedive without the injured Mitchell Moses , but Cooper Cronk believes Parramatta can attempt to turn their fortunes around by placating to the style of Dylan Brown, who has been shifted to halfback in Moses’ absence.
The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?Cronk believes it’s imperative the Eels coaching staff implement a change of tactics to favour Brown and make his job a little easier. “Ultimately, Mitch Moses will need to be back soon. If he can’t back sooner, they’ll fall out of the eight. They need to win enough games for him to come back or they need to change their style of play because at the moment, they are still trying to play the same way as if Mitch was still there.”
NRL360 co-host Paul Kent put to Cronk how Brown could go about making a successful switch in the meantime until Moses is back.“How do you get Dylan to play more like a halfback... and how hard is it to go and start playing in that position even though it’s not a familiar position even though most people at home think there isn’t a lot of difference between six and seven,” Kent asked.
“There needs to be growth from Dylan, there’s no doubt about that. But maybe they need a change in terms of getting a ball playing 13 out there a little bit more to help Dylan be two passes wide as opposed to Dylan being a first receiver.
