I'd be angry if I earned the spot by out playing the other options including Ramien and they still went looking elsewhere.

That is half the reason they went out to find another option. His attitude is horrible and that became apparent very quickly last year when he and Dugan nearly came to blows..

He can score length of the field tries that is fast enough.

22 games into a career is a small sample size though, If wanting out due to another player getting signed is a poor attitude and also how much would he cost too is another

I’ve seen enough to take the very small risk. As I said, we can’t wait around for a unicorn.

I too rate him higher than Ramien but Ramien is rumoured to be on $500k. How many centres wouldn't be on that much?

A quick look on Fox sports

Naden had more metres gained a game. scored 8 tries in 12 games. 78% efficiency
Xerri 13 tries in 22 games. 80% tackle effeciency in a team that is pretty good in defence...No doubt is worse in the rabble we were

Give a couple of more seasons before I would be confident not paying overs on Xerri for that much

Nadens stats look good for being a winger. His assists however dont come close to Xerri.

Put Naden on the wing outside Xerri with Kikau making space for them and Id be very confident in that left edge. Xerri will get Naden the ball. Naden doesn't do that for his winger. I see it as improving 2 positions which adds more value.

If he is cut cause Ramien is getting that then surely he must think he can get it too. I would go for it at $300k but at that price I’d go all in for Addo-Carr

Addo Carr on the wing outside of Naden would never see the ball and wouldn't be getting value for money from him.

We would still be flawed at centre and not getting the best out of our marquee signing. Would be an improvement on what we have. But nowhere near enough.

Yep a centre who can beat one defender and put Naden away would be great for the left side. On those set Kikau plays use him as a decoy more often and we will get overlaps outside him for sure.

Just because he thinks he’s worth something doesn’t mean we have to offer it. He’s likely on a very minimal deal, 350k might snag him.

Plus I also doubt Ramien is on $500k. More than likely that media figure is inflated.

Xerri would be a crazy good signing. Though we are a value club under Dave's Mate.

If the price is right.
