Player Watch #1: Nick Vlastuin

[Tiger_4_Life]

Good luck Tigger... Is one of our most important cogs in the team now. Gives us hardness, reliability and flexibility down back.

 

[TigerImposter]

Congratulations Flossy for reaching the milestone after a premiership and now a life member after an amazing 2017. Came back after injuries last year and played out of skin. Just Brilliant.

PS: Was always a backman and I got it wrong with many others.

 

[Waltz17]

His temperament is perfect. Hard, resolute, brave, confident, calm... but also humble and unassuming. Never overdoes it, always pragmatic. He will be a good player for a long time. Similar to Enright in my eyes but maybe a tad less skilful and a tad more tough. I would love to see him get the ball in his hands a bit more.

Felicitaties Nick, you are going to have one Tiger supporter rooting for you on your 100th over in Kanchanaburi Thailand during the ANZAC Hellfire Pass ceremony.

 

[TheDarkKnighta]

Heartiest congratulations, Tigga.

I love this bloke get him up here and get around him.

 

[thedreamisreal]

Onya Flossy! You will be a Richmond legend!

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Just like Grimes...both tough and super dependable!
You just get used to them...

"Gonna need you to go forward Floss and maybe snag 2-3 for us"

"Sure, any particular type?"

"Everything mate - from overhead grabs, tight snaps, standard set shot - do it all"

"You got it "

 

[MosquitoBrigade]

Love this bloke. An absolute warrior of the RFC!

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

I love this bloke so much i put him 1st in my supercoach team since he was drafted.
Also Id let my mrs * him but i dont think he would want to * my mrs...

Il just get him drunk. Thats what i do..

Hes a champ

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Great hands and a very long and accurate kick, expect him to be back in the backline next week but now we’ve seen what he’s capable of will be a valuable swing man

 

[MattWriting]

One of his best games for the club on the weekend

[JAKLAUGHING]

MAGNIFICENT!!!

 

[turtle27]

Love that fact that he's still so underrated by oppo fans. He's a bona fide jet.

 

[_RT_]

Vlastuin re-signing for another 2 years is a nice way to kick off the season.

So much for the exodus after signing Lynch
