On a side (and I know we are not supposed to be positive here but please forgive me) note, the recruitment of juniors really seems to have improved the last few years. Hope it pays of in the near future.

While we have limited salary it’s our best shot

The hope would be in 2022 we can sign big name players to link up with our young guys who are quality first graders by then and it creates a gun team. Madge will be instilling a hard working culture similar to Melbourne or roosters.

Brent NADEN appears to be on the outer at Pamfers looks likely he won't make the bench for the GF

Too bad for him - not a desirable signing by my estimation. Guy has one of the most punchable faces in Rugba- Leeg.

Let the Bulldogs have him and we go even harder for Burton.

Decent player. Speed to burn but has defensive issues.

Cant imagine him at the Tigers but would be our best centre by a long stretch. Would love him inside either Nofo or JAC.

looks like a player that would do well in a Melbourne system, besides, we are stacked for centres. Leilua, Talau, M'Bye, Kepaoa, Hoffman, Kei and even Doueihi can all do a job there. we need a fullback and a 13, not Brent Naden.

Agreed. Unless its a standout centre who is significantly better than what we have an adds a real extra turn of pace its a no from me. With limited cap sapce the money has to go to other problem areas.

Don't think we need Naden. Showed us no respect when we played them in RD16 and is another version of BJ Leilua in defence. Unwanted at the Panthers for a reason
 
Out of a penrith forum

May made 18 tackles and missed 2 tackles vs Rabbits

Naden made 13 tackles and missed 6 vs Roosters

May's tackle efficiency 89.2
Naden's tackle efficiency 67.3

May's made 302 tackles and missed 23
Naden's made 143 tackles and missed 44.

Massive defensive liability

Totally agree with you there about his face .. !! I watched him many times this season in games, he comes across as the angry, punchy .. third man into scuffle player .. never the involved in the initial scuffle, but always comes in late wanting to push others around and big note himself .. is it bad if I say .. "I so wanna see him get decked .. !!" ;-)
 
only centre that we should throw an offer at in the next year or so is Staggs or Tesi Niu. money needs to be spent in other areas.

Doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed.

Any news on Schuster seems to have gone quiet him threatening a release prior to Foran signing with Manly

been a few reports that he'll wait until he sees whether or not Hasler was telling the truth about Foran at 9. something has to give though, Cust, Foran, Walker and Schuster all vying for one position next to DCE. fingers crossed he walks and we're able to snap him up.

There was talk of Walker to Bulldogs
