Brent Naden #256

[Jay]

I'm surprised many see him starting tbh, I'd see him in reserves fighting his way for a spot. Earned nothing so far. Hope he gets some good games this year Shocked if he plays round 1.

Thought Naden had a very good game today. He is quicker than most think.

I like Naden he's a solid first grade player and when he came on in the GF vs Melbourne he tore them up I hope that is still there

And can get his arm free ,
Let’s hope we have support play this season. Last year it was pathetic

Need a game plan that includes him

Didn’t mind Laurie outside him.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Player well.
I thought ALL three of our players did ok for the time they were on the field. But yes …. Naden was a stand out.

 

[Demps]

Excelled in the position he should of always been playing from the start.

He had a cracker game, played strong.

He can't be intimidated either and that's refreshing for a WT player.

Naden is a gun at his best showed that with Penrith a few years ago. He’s also an angry man which is good. If he cuts out the shockers he’s our best centre.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Naden looked confident and that is a big plus.
He played well so looks like one centre position locked in, the other is a bit of a headache but it could be solved by Douhei.
Pity we haven’t locked in that Parra half ?

Apparently he's a nice guy in person.
Friendly with the fans.

Yep has some talent but geez he needs good players around him to cover the faults.

He might just surprise a few people this year. Just like the way he played like he felt l he belonged in that team , I really hope he brings that back to the WT coz we need our backs to supplement our good pack.

 

[magpiesteve]

A good player just needs a little space as he can beat a man. He is definitely in my starting 13.

 

[sleeve]

Just read all the terrible things the forum said about Naden back ln may when we signed him what a difference

The same is happening with Stains. Being a terrible side for so long has turned many into nit pickers, and others with unreal expectations.

Both Naden and Staines will do ok this year. I am looking forward to watching them.

any chance Staines or Ken M play centre Rd 1 ?

I think we'll see more of Staines as the season progresses.
Don't think he'll start straight away, as there is plenty of competition, I don't imagine he'd be first choice either. Who knows could be wrong.
Apparently he's not vocal enough at training for Sheens' liking.
Therefore maybe AJ will get the nod for centre. He was good in the first trial.

it is Sheens he may play Staines off the bench,
maybe in a game Staines goes to FB and Laurie pushes up to 6 with AD playing 13 ?
