Brent Naden Joins Wests Tigers till 2023

[hammertime]

Pretty risk free signing. A year and a half for $200k p.a..

Like the moneyball play there Tigers.

Pretty sure that was an honest mistake/mix up by @Tcat and nothing untoward intended.

Okay, just caught your earlier post and deleted mine on that basis.

 

[gallagher]

Isn't it known that they don't even know each other that well?

You'd think instead of bringing up that crap people could mention his other uncle, Ian, that played for Wests. That would be relatable for a footy forum.

Madge is

Jesus christ just saw on FB can't believe this garbage
Last game I saw him play he had about 5 lost possessions.... He was OK in panthers 3/4 line but.... But.... I guess we're short of center... Hope he turns out to be another momorovski

Are you saying that was 5 times he was caught not in possession? The jury is out, not guilty! Forgive and move on.

I’m on board with the signing he’s clearly talented he liked tormenting us when at the riff, can’t judge him on the dogs games they are a rabble. We are only where we are largely through our horrific injury toll.
It’s an opportunistic signing like a buzzard pecking at a dogs carcass, low risk high reward. He’s got Tamou, Laurie, Blore former teammates this is shifty Sheens doing what he does sit back and relax.

To all the people saying this is a bad signing, how about...

We punt madge, Sheens and the entire WT board and put the forum experts in their place instead?

If you can't see why this is a beneficial signing, rewatch all of our 2022 season games.

I reckon it’s at the stage now where we need a couple of tricks to try to squeeze something out of the season.

He deserves a go.

He’s a good club man and we have a ‘slight’ injury problem.

Gus and Madge are friends so we would have an idea as to his fundamentals.

Just the game against the dragons would do me. I just sat there like a stunned mullet by the end of it. A footy coma I haven’t climbed out of.

Look mate, some things we just can't talk about, and that game is one of them (of plenty).

Thanks for bringing back the repressed memories lol

Defo a centre going off his highlight package.

Has a lot of potential.

Brings tears to my eyes…

Man check his stats:

Brent Naden - Career Stats & Summary - Rugby League Project

A summary of the career stats for Brent Naden, a rugby league player who represented and Indigenous. He also played for the Penrith Panthers, the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs and the Wests Tigers.

www.rugbyleagueproject.org

So Dogs he hasn't scored much, but if you have JAC on your outside and are not passing then you are doing something wrong.
Missed tackles is a concern, and if he could tighten that up that would be good.
Yet he runs for 100m per game.

Taking the Dogs time out. We see him score about 66% of the time at Penrith. Insane Penrith win rate, but when your center can cross the line like that you are an asset.

The big question is HOW MUCH?
Someone above says 200k. 200K!!!

The key to signing any player is not just the player, it is the price as well. You are talking a Grand Final center for the price we pay a reserve player. Nofo is 500K!
At that price, this signing is fantastic. If it works out we get a class Penrith player, if not 200K who cares!

He is just a young version of JTJ.
Goes walkabout and likes a pokie too.
Meh.

This is an interesting signing. Naden certainly has some talent, but we have only seen glimpses of it during the last 3 seasons.
Tigers are building a good culture and developing a bit of a reputation as a club offering a second chance.
This is a good signing considering the position we’re in.

Meh.

Not a great comment. I'm sure someone from our club has spoken to him and is satisfied he is motivated for the right reasons. JTJ except for injury has been good for WTs.

 

[mikey]

Another signing that comes with baggage

Full with his boots n training gear ready to go.

 

[Curly_Tiger]

I hope Brent doesn’t read the forum
Some pretty poor comments
He sounds like he’s hungry to kick start his career, a very proactive approach on his part to push the issue at the Dogs
Fills a need for us at a good price
I’ll be cheering him on

 

[hank37w]

Could someone change the thread title to "Brent" instead of "Brett"​

Regardless of what race or colour, we are after footballers…. Not coke sniffers

Just let you know DJG, drugs are a no go, doesn't matter how good you are, it was just there to be said, me bad.
