Brent Naden #256

Happened fairly quick today.

Naden wanted out of the Dogs. Dogs have already paid half his salary for this season and are chipping in 100k-150k for next season.

All up, Tigers are paying 200k for the remainder of this season and 250k for next season.

At that price it is not a bad signing and it looks like the dogs fire sale has started
 
I'd suggest maybe that comment by one of posters a couple of weeks ago that Roberts was going to seek medical retirement for his back injury was on the mark and Naden is the replacement?

At very least, wasnt it Naden who took his lumps when caught taking drugs as against the Storm trio who were not made to admit what nose candy they were taking and only slapped on the wrist?

Yeah it's good business again. Dogs supporters will love him leaving but go off if they find out they are paying him to leave 😂😂😂
 
He is literally heads and shoulders above most our top 30 outside backs - And on par with the others....
And he's fit to play - Right now!!

This is a good thing...
He's not our here to be the best outside back we ever have - But he'll certainly be better than the ones we have atm.

If that's true it's a reasonable bit of business. Average salary is $310k, minimum is $105k, so the Tigers are paying minimum this year and less than average next. We obviously need a body this year as Gildart hasn't worked out, Roberts is busted and all the other centre options are injured. Next year hopefully he'll be a backup who can cover centre and wing. No need to get wildly excited but also no need to lose our minds.

This is a fair assessment for this year.
Have zero problems for this year.

Guess the question is does that ring true for next year if we have a fit squad & have the opportunity to grow the younger talent with NRL experience. Guess time will tell.
 
I think this is great pick up, especially if we have made the dogs pay anything.
Being from the Panthers system he may not have wanted to be there without Barrett...??

But hey he is big quick and surely can learn to tackle... get him in there.
Can't hurt to add some strike in the centres.

Well atm the moment the backs up are Pauga, Gildart etc...
If Naden takes the spot - I have no problem.

We can't have 6 foxes... in the squad.
