I'm guessing it's Naden.

NRL 2021: Panthers flyer Brent Naden chased by Bulldogs, Wests TigersAnyone have acess to this article?
Canterbury and Wests Tigers are eager to boost their backline stocks and both have targeted an off-contract Penrith flyer. Check out all the latest singing news.
The Wests Tigers and Bulldogs are preparing to prise Brent Naden out of Penrith with the misfiring clubs eager to add the strike centre to their backline.
Off-contract at the end of this season, Naden is poised to receive multi-year offers from both the Tigers and Dogs.
Currently playing for the Panthers’ unbeaten NSW Cup team, Naden is in the midst of serving a four-game run in the lower grades.
The relegation decision was made in concert with Naden and the Panthers management in a move designed to earn back the respect of coaching staff and his teammates after testing positive to cocaine prior to the grand final last year.
Naden, 25, played 80 minutes at fullback for the Panthers NSW Cup outfit, coached by Peter Wallace, last weekend.

Eager to cement a regular NRL starting spot, Naden is stuck behind a log-jam of outside backs at Penrith.
Even with an injury to fullback Dylan Edwards, the Panthers have ably covered the loss by shifting Stephen Crichton from the centres to play fullback.
The Tigers interest in securing Naden revolves around the club’s inconsistent performances of current Joey Leilua and James Roberts.
Roberts and rookie Asu Kepaoa will line up at centre against the Rabbitohs on Saturday.
There is a suggestion the Tigers could look to squeeze Leilua — dropped to the NSW Cup a fortnight ago and out with a head knock this weekend — from the final year of his 2022 contract.

Canterbury coach Trent Barrett has been unable to settle on two first-choice centres to start 2021 with Will Hopoate, Nick Cotric, Corey Allen all used in the position.
Barrett coached Naden as the Panthers attack coach last season and believes that after scoring 20 tries in 30 NRL games, along with the addition of NSW Origin flyer Josh Addo-Carr onto the wing in 2022, Naden would provide genuine speed and strike to the Canterbury offence.
Canterbury will also have the salary cap space to target Naden with as many as 15 players off-contract including outside backs Christian Crichton, Jayden Okunbor, Nick Meaney and Hopoate.
The Panthers are yet to commence contract discussions with Naden or his management.

TOP DOGS FACE AXE IN KENNEL CLEANOUT
By Dean Ritchie
Up to 10 Canterbury stars face being dumped with the Bulldogs seven-member board fast running out of patience at the club’s horrid results.
The Daily Telegraph has been told the Bulldogs are preparing to rip this year’s underachieving squad apart in a desperate bid to be aggressive in the open market.
A 0-5 start has Canterbury’s board nervously monitoring every aspect of the football club’s operations. A loss to fellow cellar-dwellers North Queensland on Sunday in Townsville will only add to the growing angst at Belmore.

There is no suggestion coach Trent Barrett’s position is tenuous but the board won’t be sitting idle as the losses mount. Canterbury’s board is becoming increasingly uneasy over the awful results amid accusations players simply “aren’t aiming up”.
Off-contract players Will Hopoate, Dylan Napa, Sione Katoa, Ofahiki Ogden, Lachlan Lewis, Christian Crichton, Dean Britt, Jeremy Marshall-King, Brandon Wakeham and Chris Smith will all struggle to be re-signed.

The club hasn’t yet formally told any player they are unwanted for 2022 but most are aware their future at Canterbury looks bleak.
Former Melbourne player Joe Stimson – not off contract until the end of next season – also faces an uncertain future.
Napa is the biggest star under increasing pressure to earn a new deal. His tenure at Belmore has been dogged with ongoing speculation about his future and form.
Bulldogs directors are united in offering Barrett as much as support as possible in a desperate bid to halt the heavy defeats. Canterbury has lost each match this year by an average of 28 points.
There had been suggestions the Bulldogs wanted Souths prop Liam Knight in a mid-season transfer but the approach was rejected.
Off field, Canterbury remains in a robust financial position through healthy corporate sponsorship while Canterbury Leagues Club has emerged from COVID strongly.
Publicly, Canterbury management won’t concede season 2021 is over but there is a private realisation the year will be a write off.

A frustrated Barrett continues to work tirelessly to somehow extract his club from their dire predicament.
Canterbury can only see one way out – going hard in the player market.
The Bulldogs continue to express an interest in Kotoni Staggs but the club is aware the Brisbane star is now likely to remain with the Broncos.
Canterbury is aware the hooking position is a problem and that the club needs a further two quality forwards.
Officials from Canterbury also know a new coach at Cronulla – the respected Craig Fitzgibbon – could be immediately active in the player market.
The Bulldogs have lost matches this year by 32-16, 28-0, 24-0, 38-0 and 52-18. The team has scored an average of 6.8 points per game.

I rate Naden. Obviously needs to have a bit of focus on footy rather than racking up. He's big, strong and fast. Something we have none of

I don't want Naden tbh ... Let Tigers have him, seems close to Laurie anyways so it would be better for him to go play with him.

And he’s a left centre which we desperately need. I know he played on the right for Penrith but he carries the ball in his left hand so I am assuming he prefers that side.
Hopefully Baz can get it done.

Remember when people on here wanted to sign Joseph Leilua, now look at him - he is failing even at the Tigers. What has happened with Naden & his drug problem? Are the Bulldogs going to have a clause in his contract to test him regularly? If he won't do it then I don't want him.
I would sign only Smith & Ogden (listed in the first 10) to minimum wage contracts & only if we couldn't get younger more vigorous players in their positions. Okunbor would also get another chance because of his knee injury & his desire to repay the team.

I'd say we're looking at ~350k.
Wasn’t so sure about speed. But he definitely had coke.
