Past #28: Robin Nahas - delisted by NM - 34 games for the club - thank you Robin

[Passmore]

Would probably be ahead of Thomas to return, but for who?

Turner had an impact last night. Garner was arguably the spark. Who does he replace?

No one. Stays in the magoos until an opportunity arises.

 

[The Nostradamus]

This.

Not only is Gibson useless as sub and undeserving of a full game next week, but we missed Nahas buzzing around the contest yesterday, taking a short run forward before he releases the ball. Bring him in on the fact that he gives a s**t, and that's what we need.

Let's pray it happens.
Nahas gives us much more than Gibson. Brad has made good moves since coming back so hopefully it continues

2. After missing last week due to injury, Robbie Nahas returned and was arguably the Roosters’ best forward. He was dangerous both with and without the ball, kicking three goals and laying nine tackles.

“He was very lively today, and his numbers are excellent for a mid-forward.

“He looked dangerous and his pressure was quite good, so it was a strong performance.”

I really want Robin back in the team ATM.....club has to reward players who are doing what they're instructed to do. If our team had that same desire that Nahas has been displaying all year we wouldn't be 9th on the ladder at the moment.

Classic case of there being no spot

I'm in the same boat but he either replaces Turner or Garner and neither of those two are in any danger of losing their spot.

I know everyone loves Kayne but Robbie replaces him this week for mine. A 7 disposal, 2 goal game hardly puts you in the untouchable category. Bring Robbie in, let Kayne know that his spot is there for the taking, and if he performs at VFL level then he's straight back in as soon as someone slips up.

It won't kill the lad to go back down......I noticed he is getting bigger frame wise but we need to nurse this kid the next few years til he fills out a bit.

 

[KillaKanga]

Does he come in?

 

[Lavy_Panther]

We're not fair dinkum if Robbie doesn't play this week.

 

[jess_1804]

Yep, he deserves his spot back, but who comes out? Turner and Garner were quieter, but they arguably have more upside than Robbie. Tough decision!

Waite gets a spot ahead of Black, Majak and possibly Wood based on 'present vs future' so by that rationale Robbie should get a spot ahead of both of them.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

It might be turner who makes way. Garner is a must have for the rest of the season.

Touché! Either way, I'm glad I'm not part of the selection committee. Tough job this week.

 

[numchuks]

Should replace Turner.

Love Kayne, but he just doesn't get enough of the pill.

Replace Gibson as sub

 

[Saintly31]

Turner's output shouldn't be measured on stats.

His intensity and defensive work is too easily overlooked. I'd gladly take 7 possies and 2 goals every week for him knowing what else he provides.

In terms of Nahas, i'm happy if comes in for JMac/Mullett (inj), or maybe Gibson who must be close to omitting albeit unlikely.

For mine he doesn't replace Turner (or Garner).

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Most people will be surprised if he doesn't replace Gibson. I won't be.

 

[Mcarcherey]

North plays better with Turner and Garner in the team. Nahas the better individual but north as a whole seem to just play better with the younger guys imho.

Funny, I was just saying this about another player ...

 

[Kanga1996]

Does he come in?

for me..absolutely

Agree with this. Although you can't rate either purely on stats, I think they both play the same role and Robbie plays it better atm

 

[scooby1279]

I would replace him with Gibson.

 

[ozzyoslo]

Bmac ?? I agree but because he's decided to be an outside player the one I think of he can replace would be that of Gibson. Who's form is on the decline, I like that Scott is getting more cut throat at the selection table puts everyone on notice.

Gotta love this bloke, not the most graceful or skilled player ever to pull on the jumper but gee his determination and grit no matter what level he's playing at is just brilliant. Dare I say it but he epitomises the shinboner spirit!

Optimises? Epitomises?
