Brent Naden #256

Yeah, I was really critical of him when he was at the 'Riff around the cocaine/Grand Final business and thought he got away with it fairly lightly at the time.

Didn't really do much at the Dogs and obviously was not wanted there.

Have to say I have become a bit of a fan since he has come here especially seeing that it was initially on a bargain contract.

He's certainly not that young these days and may possibly have reached his ceiling but I still think there is a bit of improvement in him.

What I want to see more of and what I really like about him is when he gets the ball and is able to wind up with what to me is his trade mark long arcing run and eventually getting up to top speed which is when he looks almost unstoppable.

Yeah same here I've become a fan for his efforts . Runs hard tackles hard and puts in at the small things we need done. If everyone else showed as much of go as him we'd be rollin'.

So fast and puts in so much effort from marker. His aggression makes him a better player but is good to give away one or two penalties a game. Needs to get a little smarter in terms of when to be aggressive and when to let it go for the team.

A shining light for this year though, probably our best in first three rounds.

No, didn't get charged.

Late starter
ship around the back line a lot...
and makes some dumb decisions on and off the park.
Can certainly light it up though.

I've always been waiting for him to get a season in the one position and see where he gets to with it....
A lot to like about him.... Has some real mongrel.

Also settled contract wise as well....
I'm hopeful....
- I also look at it like he can't be any worse than Milone, Jennings, Fonua, Marsters, Hoeter, Rankin, Pauga, Cini, BJ, Roberts, Naiqama and plenty of others over the last decade....

What a list of reserve graders.
Grace Jones was alright for a couple of years.

Naden the clown

 

[shifty]

Should have thrown a punch the puss.

 

[SeanT]

Who gave Naden a long contract. He is useless.

 

[Demps]

Hold off on the negative comments...
He might win us the game 😆

 

[426Tlgerland]

He’s showing some aggression , I like it , can win us the game as well

 

[tiger_one]

Nah, he’s slow with poor hands and shit discipline. Penrith keep the best ones.

Api says Hi.

 

[ovoevo]

To be fair - in these conditions losing a man for ten shouldn't be a major problem.

Naden ain't slow. Just needs to control the aggression.

 

[upthetigers]

Just got run down with the line wide open. He takes ages to wind up.

Conditions aren't helping

Conditions aren't helping

Some players run on top of the grass. Others dig into it. Tigers and Panthers are neck and neck. But their thinking options are much better. You're in this if you take them into the deep water with your big forwards. Drown them.

Bateman is thinking he's back playing in Bradford with these conditions. Came within a whisker of knocking Cleary into the next universe in the first half.

Kick into the corners and build pressure. We've got this.

 

[SeanT]

Get Naden off

Never liked him. Drops balls and gives penalties away. Has done since Penrith.

How good was it 😆
