Injured Wests Tigers centre Brent Naden believes the club’s latest rookie Jahream Bula has a long NRL career ahead of him but backed close mate Daine Laurie to bounce back from losing the fullback spot.
Bula is the latest debutant called in by coach Tim Sheens to try and help solve the club’s No.1 woes after the likes of Laurie, Charlie Staines and Adam Doueihi all tried but struggled to make an impact at fullback in the opening six rounds.
Naden, who is targeting a return from a shoulder injury next week against Penrith, said Bula had impressed him over the pre-season after joining Wests Tigers in 2022. The former Panther also came under fire off-field earlier this month for ‘liking’ an Instagram post of Selwyn Cobbo scoring a try against the Wests Tigers in Round 5.“It might’ve been against the Tigers but I got a bit frustrated at that for him. None of the boys were upset about it. They understood he was just liking something his mate did.

AFL legend has a ‘range of issues’ in lawsuit against his former clubsFormer AFL star Gary Ablett Senior is suing his two former clubs Hawthorn and Geelong, claiming they knew the risk of concussions and breached their duty of care. Current players who suffer head injuries must undergo strict concussion protocols, but this wasn’t always the case and “you feel for players like Gary Ablett who may be suffering from the effects of concussions,” says Thomson Geer Lawyers Media and Litigation Lawyer Justin Quill. “He played in a different area, the knowledge and understanding of concussions in just injuries and the effects of it just didn’t exist, so he’s got some range of issues in this litigation,” Mr Quill told Sky News Australia host Chris Kenny. “He’s not only got to show that the effects that he’s feeling now were caused by the concussion, he’s also got to show that the decisions that were made at the time didn’t comply with the standard of care that they needed to. “That really requires a bit of knowledge and I’m not sure he’s going to be able to show that there was enough knowledge around in the 80s and early 90s for that to be shown.”

Parliament should match ‘standards’ of strip clubs by banning Thorpe: MacphersonSky News host James Macpherson questions whether Lidia Thorpe should be banned from Parliament after the Independent Senator received a lifetime ban from a Melbourne strip club. “Shouldn’t the Australian parliament at least try to match the standards of suburban strip joints … Lidia Thorpe’s behaviour now precludes her from entering a venue where women strip naked on a poll but is not so bad that she’s precluded from sitting in federal parliament deciding public policy,” Mr Macpherson said. “To say Senator Thorpe is familiar with controversy is a little bit like saying Jimi Henderix is familiar with the guitar. “If people are trying to drag down Senator Thorpe they are utilising her own behaviour. “When even a strip club decides your conduct is unbecoming, you’re already at the bottom.”
