Wests Tigers Explore Super League Options as Versatile Back Brent Naden Becomes Available
In a surprising turn of events, the Wests Tigers have reportedly opened the door for several star players to potentially join the Super League, shaking up the transfer market. According to sources, Tigers Chief Executive Shane Flanagan has been spotted in the UK, fueling speculation that the club is looking to offload select talents as part of a rebuilding effort.
One of the players reportedly made available is the versatile back Brent Naden. A key contributor for the Tigers, Naden has demonstrated his ability to excel both on the wing and in the centers. Now in his third season with the club, the 27-year-old has already amassed an impressive tally of 33 tries in 69 NRL appearances throughout his career.
“While the Tigers have yet to confirm the availability of their players, the rugby league betting community has been abuzz with rumors surrounding Naden’s potential move to the Super League.”
Recent reports had linked the talented back to both Hull KR and the Catalans Dragons, but the French club has since distanced itself from the speculation. According to a report in the Daily Telegraph, the Catalans Dragons have denied any interest in pursuing Naden, stating that the club has “no interest in pursuing the outside back.” This development comes as the Dragons seek to fill the impending departures of their starting wingers, Tom Johnstone and Tom Davies, at the end of the season.
As the Super League clubs continue to navigate the transfer market, the Wests Tigers’ decision to explore potential player moves has undoubtedly added an intriguing subplot to the ongoing rugby league news cycle. Fans and pundits alike will be closely monitoring the situation as the Tigers look to reshape their roster and the Super League clubs seek to bolster their squads for the upcoming season.
