Panthers say NRL rejected requests to have Naden make trial appearance – Sydney Morning Herald
Penrith wanted Brent Naden to play a trial on Saturday night to help with his recovery and mental well-being after a tough 2020. They were denied by the NRL – twice….
Under the NRLs rules, only players who played 12 NRL games or less were allowed take part in the trials this weekend. The rule was designed to help balance players workload.
But after Parramatta were given special exemption to have three players rushed in for their own trial against St George Illawarra on Thursday night, Penrith asked the NRL again about Naden, only to be denied.
