‘He’s been in a grand final for them’: Knights coach chides Eels fans for booing Brown
@Source: smh.com.au
Knights coach Adam O’Brien says he feels for Dylan Brown after the backlash he has copped from the Parramatta fans who once idolised him.
After it was confirmed last week that Brown had signed the richest deal in rugby league history to join Newcastle for the next 10 seasons, the 24-year-old was booed at CommBank Stadium before Parrammatta’s clash with Wests Tigers when his image appeared on the big screen during the team announcement.
O’Brien admitted it was a concern “for any young person to cop that amount of criticism”, and suggested the Parra faithful have short memories.
“I can’t speak for the [Parramatta] fans,” O’Brien said. “What I will say is he’s been a really good servant for that club. He’s been in a grand final for them.
