Dylan Brown is facing a barrage of criticism for his lackluster performance in the Parramatta Eels' recent defeat, with some calling it 'farcical' that he was considered one of the top three players on the field.
After being awarded one point in the Dally M voting following the Eels' 41-8 thrashing by the Raiders, Brown has come under fire, with NRL commentator Andrew Voss leading the charge.
The young Canberra halfback, Ethan Strange, stole the show as the Raiders ran rings around the Eels, with Matt Timoko, Xavier Savage, and James Schiller running riot out wide.
The Eels seemed to lack direction and coordination throughout the match, with Brown's switch to halfback not yielding the desired results.
Coach Brad Arthur was questioned about Brown's performance post-match, and while he defended his player, the pressure is mounting for a change in position.
Despite Brown's one try assist, tackle break, and 25 tackles, his contributions paled in comparison to the stellar performances of the Raiders' key players.
As the spotlight intensifies on Brown, questions remain over the validity of the judge's decision to award him Dally M points.
