2020, Covid and the Bubble was a tough year for us, and most teams.

Shawn's broken wrist has set him back, but I'm looking forward to seeing him on the field again and proving what a standout talent he is.

Can I ask this of everyone who is talking of Blore's attacking ability

Can someone give me 3 memorable Blore attacking moments from 2020 ??

His hole running on the edges was a strength coming through the grades. Hasn't had the opportunity to show it yet considering he's played like 5 top grade games.

Bit early to put the knock on him for that. We'll find out soon enough...

Agreed HT, Blore has a hell of a lot of qualities being attributed to him for a guy who has hardly played any football at all!

To be fair, Blore spent most of his limited first grade minutes in the prop rotation and not on an edge which is his preferred position

Doesn't change anything ....you'd still have moments where you have dragged a few defenders 10-15 metres if you had an attacking presence

I'm not knocking him ......he just hasn't shown any attack yet...but the way some go on he is the next coming of Paul Sironen or Noel Cleal ...I thought I was missing something

He is the next Shawn blore....be his own playrr

So I was lied to about Bwooks being the next ....

I'm not putting a knock on him ...but some are acting like he is a combination of Sironen and Cleal ...my point is he isn't near that yet

He's got a better rig than those two.

So far it's
Blore 1 - Siro/Cleal 0

Geez I hope so, as a forward like that gets an otherwise ordinary pack deep into the finals.

I'm not sure who wrote it earlier but agree that our forwards have been good but not great,and at the moment having Twal at lock really helps out in the metre making. Until the forwards dominate I can't see a smaller ball playing lock working, and Hastings I don't think would have the work rate in defence to make it at lock. Twal has been doing nicely so far this year and seems to be offloading a lot more

He hasn’t done an offload all year.

I don't doubt Naden has talent, however not sure if he can be a consistent quality NRL player for years to come. I must say I haven't had much time for him as a person - he is a lippy tool and a hot-head on the field and off the field has proven to be a jackass.
On the other hand, he is young and maybe he can settle down with the right guidance - the WT's current program may well be a good fit for him. Having him at his best would certainly provide some depth and strike in the centres and potentially on the wing where his big frame could be handy. Perhaps a 2 year deal with a further option in the club's favour.

Are we actually entertaining this thought of getting Naden or is it just rumour?

Chammas reported there's some interest in him from the club in signing him for this year

Naden is a player of interest but only one of many. The Chammas article is not accurate at all
