Nic Naitanui's A STAR!!!!

[OHHYEA]

so did he get a kick today?

 

[jacko]

0 Kicks, 8 handballs LOL!

 

[Warney]

c'mon guys don't dis him,

 

[jacko]

Well...no affence mate, but the commentators are spot on when they say "the reason Naitanui isn't getting a kick is because he is floating/hovering around the back of the packs and unlike a normal ruckman he isn't going in hard at the ball..

 

[nenjabin]

He looked like a lost little boy today. Couldn't put himself in the right position, was dominated in the ruck by Jamar, and couldn't even use his size/body against smaller opponents. Still along way to go for him, just like Watts for us. He'll get there though

 

[jacko]

Stephen Martin beat him in the ruck on most occasions, on that note he's quite a good young gun.

 

[Warney]

yeh good points guys. I think the umpires were a bit soft sometimes because Jamars knee was crashing into Natanui's body dangerously and the umpires weren't taking it seriously. Jamar did ruck well though

 

[OHHYEA]

Yeh well thats what most ruckman will do to him as his a young player that hasnt played many games.
Crash into him and make him scared to go in hard, he'll get it right as they years go by

 

[Dalbs]

He was ordinary like his team, but he'll get better he's still only raw, well done to the Dees?

 

[Warney]

Lynchy was alright. Fletcher is frustrating. The prob is no other teams will take him so we will have to just delist him

It's called rucking. There is body contact made during rucking, despite how much the AFL would love to change that...

So was ben Mckinley, he's sucking real good genitals I reckon?

 

[edd1e66]

Jeez. It's the boys 3rd game. We all know he looks a little fluimsy and weak, but he's just acclimitizing to the big league. Comment later on in the piece.

 

[OHHYEA]

^^^ abit of discussion is better then nothing......

Your not wrong, but some of the stuff that has been said has been part of UNFAIR discussions on the boy. He is to hyped up, just let him adapt in his own time. If i were John Worsfold, i'd just keep giving him games and get him to watch his footage further.

Interesting stat is he has yet to have one kick to a team mate yet.

Worse still knob supporters of my team are now having a field day on forums about him because Watts came under ridiculous attacks in his first few games. But then again when was the last time you read anything that was worth reading on the bigfooty forum?

Nata looked lost out there on Sunday but thats expected, the media love highlights and his given them a few things. Simple really.
