Player Watch #39: Nathan Drummond

[UpTheGuts]

I wish him all the best. Fantastic commitment.
I just don't see him doing much, myself.
Would love to be wrong

Wtf? Do we not have a dietician at the club? I would of thought we would have one on staff.

I'm sure we do, but dieticians quite often differ in their philosophies and approach. So seeing another one outside the club might yield different dieting strategies etc. Much like getting a second opinion in terms of doctors etc.

 

[Squibbs]

Good luck to him. Watched his interviews on the RFC website and seems to have some self belief in him, and is prepared to do the hard yards to get back. Can't wait to see him in the coming years, could allow us to move Yarran up forward since he likes to play on the Half Back Flank.

The club really rate this kid.. played 1 VFL game and went straight into the seniors.. even Dan Richo talked about him this week.. could be a player for us

Versatile as well. Could play as a half back flanker, inside or outside mid or as a half forward with the right development.

Another pic, pretty much training all this time off so he'll be ready to go come preseason

Can somebody please get Ben Lennon out there with this kid!

Probably still recovering from the hip surgery

 

[Bobby Sands]

I would be very surprised that a man with this type of work ethic, does not become at the least an accountable players for the Tigs.

Setting standards so young bodes well.

i am assuming he'll get a full pre season?

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

Probably still recovering from the hip surgery

hip surgery is a fat person's injury

 

[smasha]

Best of wishes to you Nate.
Putting in the hard yards for a big season.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Really admire "Bass" for the effort has done. Hope he is a regular in the team next year.

 

[Joey longshadow]

Great to see him putting in the hard yards
Hope he gets a just reward for effort

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Would be good for Drummond to look at Lambert as an example. Both from the same draft period with Kane being a bit older. Both injured on debut but Lambert was able to recover and press for selection again - and eventually got in. When he got his chance, he didn't look back either. Hopefully Drummond can have a similar story.

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

should be practicing his kicking

 

[cairo tiger]

anyone know how this kid is going?

 

[tigerz18]

i guess not.....

 

[UpTheGuts]

was running laps and striding out well this morning. Kicking on the boundary, but I didn't see anything else and certainly no lateral movement.

Looks fine and I'd wager a good 5kg heavier, but from afar I'd not expect nab cup for him.

 

[JR82]

i reckon given his age he'll be eased back in this year

 

[Wackelpudding]

ACLs take forever to recover from fully. I'd be quite happy if he starts to show a bit in the VFL in the 2nd half of the year.

 

[tunksy]

Just want him to take it easy and get some consistency in the 2nd half of tbe year in the vfl

 

[Bojangles17]

As long as he s right for finals I'm easy

 

[cairo tiger]

is he training at what stage etc?

 

[TJTIGER]

All the best to the young fella....

 

[Hank Heavenly]

Saw him in the gym over the Xmas break, great to see he was committed in his 'time off'.

Was really polite to the kids as well!
