Naden fighting for a NRL career for those who watch reggies did he always put in? Get the bloke a sports psychologist so he doesn't buckle under pressure.

Just from reading posts on here he didn’t kick stones in reserves and was a leader
I am with you that the pressure gets to him

Naden training the house down …



You happy now ? 😂

Just surprised

Naden back in the good books amazing how a last contract year can motivate.

He will go to rubbish as soon as a contract is signed.

 

[weststigerman]

New season clean slate happy with who has looked the best at training to be picked can motivate others to lift.

He’s been given a clean slate a few times now only to do something completely stupid and cost his team.

Looked great in ressies. There was a game last year where he kicked a 40/20 then went on to set up two tries to come from behind and seal a win. It was magnificent to watch. His next NRL game he had the brain snap right on half time and was sent to the bin. Does not seem to adapt to the pressure of the NRL.

Time for Luai to get in his ear

Nasty paradox you face when in the junior ranks they look promising only not to live up to expectations happens a lot.

It is and it isn't Mate,
All kids need time to develop and should be given a chance, I've no problem with that.
I have a problem with them doing it at top grade when they're no where near ready -
Taking up Roster spots and costing minimum wages at least.
Last year,
We'd have been paying Tumeth 120-150k to play mostly with kids on 5-10k.
We need to take a punt on Kids, But we're doing it far too often and haven't got a good record of
getting it right.
That said, We've had a more victories of late.

I think we all know we need an experienced NRL run on side quality srf.

Well everyone bar recruitment lol

RABS JUNIOR FLEES TIGERS

Chris Warren has joined the Sea Eagles to head up its new-look communications team.

Warren, the son of legendary rugby league commentator Ray, left his job at the Tigers before Christmas to take up a similar position with Manly.

Warren, who played five games for the Magpies, replaces Manly’s popular long-term media manager Wayne Cousins.

You wouldn't believe it,
When Chris announced he was leaving I said to a mate - I sense the return of Cousins as media manager.
Now this 😂😂😂

The old gang may well and truly be getting back together??

Have to remember that wave of players was before Richo too possibly caved to pressure from player managers and parents.

Allan Fitzgibbon, top 30 contract anyone?

Seen him in a Titans shirt earlier....

Your boys making moves on the big stage

Happy to hear Naden is trying again.

But please keep him off the wing, centre or nothing. And only if he's really turned his game around.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Getting to that fun time of year where we hear all about players training the house down.

 

[rugbygoated]

Happy to hear Naden is stepping up in the pre-season. I still wouldn't have him start in round 1 though.

We can call him up if we get desperate.

I'd only put Naden as a backup winger, or backup left centre after Olam. He has carved up outside Romey before. Look at some 2019/20 highlights and they link up well. He is horrible defensively at right centre. We need to recruit someone for next season to be a specialist defensive right centre, as well as a decent right second rower. That side will be a weak link again in 2025

They’d be closer to having one than anyone here would know…

Most good judges have one of the best halves coming through at the Dogs…
He might not get a run this season, but he wouldn’t be far off.
With a super strong team around him would be the perfect spot to bring him through…
Also won the 20’s without Woods.

Woods is a good player, but hardly the second coming! He’s young like large, could go great but could also buckle. Who knows, just having a punt really. Like Makaski for us, nobody really knows if they’ll make it! Just educated guesses.

Who’s rated higher Saunders formerly eels now raiders , or woods ?

It was a bit before my time mate but I watched the
replays religiously. He swears he didn't do it on purpose

One of the most blatant take-outs in Grand Final History. We were already up against it before the game when Blocker Roach was suspended and tried to serve the suspension when Barnesy unsuccessfully tried to have him registered to play in the Old Dart. The ARL refused to acknowledge the UK games as legitimate.
The week prior to the Grand Final our legendary No.1 supporter (and best shearer in the world), Laurie Nicholls was telling all media outlets that, ''Ellery Eats Cellery". This only proved to put a bigger target on Hanley's forehead. Baa Baa wacked him good and he didn't come out for the second half.... The rest is History. If Terry is claiming he didn't mean it then he should undertake a polygraph liar test!

Tigers supporters wanted to mount his head on a pike at the entrance to L Oval.

He would pass the test because like many compulsive liars he wouldn't know what the truth was if it bit him.
