Official Brent Naden signs with the Bulldogs until 2023

[Natboy]

Talking about Manly, It's freakin round 8 this week and Foran is still not injured....whats going on

Haha I know. He seems to play much better and not get injured when he’s on 1/6th of his previous salary

 

[UmoGus]

2 years is perfect for him

 

[Haza]

Must be back on the cows blood

 

[bradyk]

Charlie Staines next?

Do you know who's on the left ?

 

[wendog33]

However the positions work out....we have a very competitive back line (for a change).

If Averillo keeps outplaying Flanagan and IF we sign B.Smith:

1. Allan
2. JAC
3. Schoupp
4. Naden
5. Cotric
6. Averillo
7. Burton

I reckon Allan gets another run there at some stage when everything is a little more settled and when he can play his natural game.

Burton is coming to play No6

 

[craigo]

Can he play 9?

 

[Bazildog]

Burton is coming to play No6

Almost the same position these days.

According to SEN radio about 11am this morning,2 yrs contract beginning 2022,no amount was mentioned,but believe it to be around 800k .

 

[Emdog85]

Backline looking healthier now. Still surprised they haven't spoken to Mitch Kenny or Api again. We have basically 2 nrl quality hookers.

I think Kenny sucks Rien

Burton is a runner of the football , not an organiser
Averillo will look good in a Mounties Jersey

 

[Matilida]

Naden is a great signing a footballer.

He has natural ability.

 

[QLDdogsfan]

If he improves defensively this will be a good signing genuine pace and a real strike centre, something we have lacked for a while.
Welcome Brent wish you all the best!

Maybe as Barrett appears to be sticking to the Flange experiment. I think there is a good footy player in Avo and once he matures a bit and gets a little tougher he will be good.

Flanagan is a NO7 that's not an experiment

Putting Burton as a NO 7 is an experiment

Why would u buy Burton to play him NO7 ?

Flanagan, as of right now is not up to running a team - maybe that changes with a bit more experience and time with the team but I can see Barrett trying to play with "2 combo-halves" instead of a traditional 6/7 combination in the scenario I outlined.

When Burton debuted last with Luai he played 7, all that meant was he was the dominant kicker.

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

1. Allan
2. JAC
3. Naden
4. Cotric
5. DWZ

There’s a lot of speed and power there, DWZ should be let go at the end of 2022 only to free up more cap space. Between Burton/Flanno/Averillo we should be covered at Half. We need another prop and a hooker and our team should be ready to win games.

Was at the game on the weekend and noticed that we don’t have many vocal leaders especially in defense, we need someone to really step up and maybe we get that when we sign another hooker but it’s a glaring hole in our team.

 

[Longtimedog]

It's great that we're not spending overs on outside backs like Staggs. I can see Burton and Naden combining well to put JAC away down the sideline.

Good edge if you add RFM. Lots of points there. Compared to Averillo Elliott Allan and Katoa

Last time we tried that how did it work for us with Reynolds and Mbye?

2022 round 1 Burton will be in the 6 Jersey .. (barring any injuries)
