Brent Naden #256

[TigerSJ]

Actually its a 2 year extension was already signed until end 2023.
I like his effort and enthusiasm- he is a real competitor which is a characteristic that we have been short on. Definitely needs to play centre NOT wing. Also needs to learn to hang onto the ball and be more patient in A. Hopefully will learn to play smarter - although not easy at the Tigers.

Naden >>>>>>> J Leilua, Roberts, Gildart

3 totally different players.
J Leilua is a forward disguised as a center, past prime. Could have been a Bench second rower like Gavin Cooper. ??
Gildart is a lightweight player that could not defend.
Naden is more like Roberts. Almost near identical players and Naden can play.

This guy is going to be rocky, but we back him he will play.

I Like Naden him and Laurie look like they have a good combination happening just needs to get better at his finishing and get some of those silly mistakes out of his game

Did anyone else see one of his kick returns on Sunday? He flew kamikaze style right into the defensive line and poked his nose through.

Yeh, second half.
How good was it!!

 

[innsaneink]

Don't mind this but a bit surprised at the length of the deal.
I think he still has more improvement
to his game.. hopefully we can draw it out

 

[wicked_j]

as much as I'm liking this "announce a re-signing each day" thing, I would love for an actual new signing..

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Length of deal is what's interesting about this for a 26yr old who has just played 50 games.
He has been solid for us, walk up starter. Hopefully not on stupid $$$ is all I ask.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Great news. 4 tries, 5 line breaks, averaging 147m in 3 games since returning from suspension. Effort & 1% plays been noticeable week on week. Naden would be in the top few who will likely really fit into a Sheens style game plan.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Besides from his send off he has been very good for us so far. Still think he is better suited to centre and hoping we see that next year. Would say we are definitely front loading these contracts, leaving plenty of room for 2024/25 when Benji takes over.

Gees theres some Negative people out there..
He would not be on top dollar and he gives 100% every game.
Stoked to see us extending the players that want to be here.

Absolutely, I'm stoked.
I think Nado signed because the COE has a baby nursery so whilst he's out training his new born bub will be babysat 😻

 

[Demps]

I doubt he's breaking the bank.
Provides a lot of value to our squad.

Needs to play centre though.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Surprised he wants to stay considering he is being played in a position that doesn't suit his main strength.

yeah he is not dictating where he should be playing like some at the club

 

[Halbrowne61]

Well at least he wants to be a WT. Has deficiencies but I think starting to believe in himself not just a backline accessory at Penrith.
IMO work in progress and could be our next Fitzhenry under TS.

 

[BAGNF05]

He is our best option in the backs....the internal re-signing continues....would be good to jag an external signing too....none on the Horizon tho

Yeah you want to lock down your wooden spooners Justin 🙄

I loved that run. I’ve been so impressed with him. Runs hard , he’s big and he’s fast. Great to have him locked up.

The low standards at WT know no bounds. He’s been suspended as much as he’s played.

Needs to play centre though.

You seen his defence in the centres? There's a reason they've kept him on the wing and even shipped noffa so he can stay on wing. Even playing Roberts at centre so he can stay on wing

Something to work on, in the off season eh?

You think that's what his future holds?
Being a winger?

Interesting , contract the same length as the other winger....
