Brent Naden #256

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 ?

I'm with you but with AD in the centres beside Naden. I think with this set up we would have a reasonable backline.

 

[Roar_Power]

any chance Staines or Ken M play centre Rd 1 ?

Very little I suspect. Ken is a winger and barring injury I think Kepaoa takes the second centre spot over Talau.

Why would you play the 2019 Dally M Winger of the year (Ken M) out of position?
🤣🤣🤣

Ken would be moved to prop before centre

why not we have been playing the 2018 Halfback of the year at 6

He's awful though.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Ken Mamalou kicked on his 2nd year on one leg, Naden to do the same! Good pick up for $$$

That's because he was no good at his job.
Ken M is though.

Chase on the JAC try not the first time Naden has busted a gut with 1%ers. Often went unnoticed last year but effort is something he has had in spades since joining and he scores.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Has been a really good signing for us.

Another diamond in the rough like Blake Austin, Taupau, Naiqama...

He's always been a talent, just needs to keep it together, on and off the field.

Aye @batboy

Think we've got him at his peak.
Settled down with a wife and a new kid... just needs to keep his nose clean and keep trying like he has since he's pulled on our jersey.

He’s maturing as a person and hopefully that flows through on field coz if he reduces his errors and lapse in D then he could be considered top shelf.
And this hopefully happens for a few of the others.

Woah, THE 2019 WINGER OF YEAR. What a massive achievement Ken should never be moved or dropped

He's our best outside back and the next two are Tupou and Staines. All from other systems.

 

[aturkey]

Has been a really good signing for us.

If we had another 4 players of his speed and size in the backline we'd be in a much better position.

 

[aturkey]

That's because he was no good at his job.
Ken M is though.

Ken M has been average at best when playing for us. He's slow and unfit. Always being injured too.

 

[beachtiger]

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....

Geez that last paragraph of your post is depressing!!!

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.
