I think Naden could be an excellent FB. I liked what I saw against Parra
Thats what he played 20s as, he was capt. Outstanding talent back thenI think Naden could be an excellent FB. I liked what I saw against Parra

Naden at centre is a lost cause, it seems they've done the smart thing and moved on.
That said I think he is too limited to be a first grade fullback, despite his reasonable success there in the 20s. He might be a decent back up I guess, but I would think Crichton, Staines and even Burton would be more interesting to see.
Yeah maybe. Or Cleary may be fine with May covering positions as the first backline injury option.If that turns out to be the case then need to buy a centre. The reason May ended up there was no other options
Burton would be next but need another just incase

Don’t think there’s enough evidence to say they’ve moved on from him being a centre. A lot will depend on how Momirovoski goes I’d say.
Ivan likes a defensive centre and an attacking centre. Momo is very strong in defence, I think he’ll be there all season, barring injury.
Momos got all the attack of a stoned prehistoric jellyfish.
I suppose he could attack the mouthguards with listerine.
The storm seemed pleased with him, I guess we’ll see, he has the 1st 4 rounds to show us what he has. If he plays poorly, Momo out, Nado in.
Agree that’s what he prefers, but I don’t think Naden’s attacking skills can be understated in our success last year. If the attack doesn’t click as well, he may not have an option but to bring him back.great balance .
Season ended on a disappointing note for Brent but I agree I thought he had really good season overall.
It wasn't the delayed entry that was a poor decision, it was having him on the bench (rather than starting) in the first place. Making these sort of changes at the pointy end of the season suggests panic.His delayed gf entry was one of the worst coaching decisions of all time.

A years worth of smug was given away for nothing and the purple merkin robots won. The whole season was wasted.

I won’t be heard against that submission.
But otherwise, the first half is best unremembered.
It’s ancient history now.
To say the whole season was wasted is a bit silly. Minor premiers, record number of consecutive wins was a huge achievement.
Regardless of Ivan’s decision to bring in Tyrone May we just got outplayed in the big dance.
It happens, particularly against such as clinical side such as the Storm.
The intercept and try on the stroke of half time were killers.
Even thou we didn’t perform at our best we were still in the contest right up until that unfortunate try on the stroke of half time.
