Strategy Do we roll the dice with Nic?

[WCErevival]

Should we play Naitanui in the final?

It would be risky but also the potential for high reward.

I thought Simmo already ruled him out for the year?

 

[La Dolce Vita]

In a word No

Beat Port on their home deck earlier in the season without him. Save him for the final after if we make it.

 

[Boohemian]

Yes. Yes we do.

 

[kranky al]

Granny maybe nothing else

 

[Crimson King]

Late 2017 season is here baby!

True but Ryder did destroy our rucks

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

It would be epic but no

 

[kaiserchief13]

Depends if he has fitness for 60-70% TOG IMO

 

[kerr87]

He can't jump properly so no.

Waste of a fit player would could play in his place.

Save him for 2018.

Very tempting and maybe okay if we could carry him with a 7 or 10 minute per quarter run around the middle ..

 

[Godfather32]

Only if Mitch Brown was still on the list to bring in for cover in case he doesn't make it through the game

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Would be absolute insanity.

No.

 

[Eagleboy68]

No way

You don't play unfit players in finals.

He is not match fit at all and it isn't worth the risk of doing it again missing 2018

 

[WCFaithful]

Not only would it be a dumb idea but if we made it to the big game (lol) and Natanui played it would be an insult to whoever had to make way.

 

[BrotherDodge]

s**t yes. It's been over twelve months, the knee should be fine. And even if he lacks match fitness he'd be a terrifying forward pocket for opposition strategists.

 

[wce4premiership]

Would be good on the HBF

 

[Avalor]

Simmo did say he was super fit and looking good. I reckon it's a shot.

 

[Natho]

No.

 

[Godfather32]

Assuming we did would we be leaving Petrie out?
Bit harsh on him considering his efforts this year.

 

[random260]

Yes, we may never play the finals for a long time. Never expect to make finals every year

This could be our last final with nic nat in our side. You play to make finals/win.

 

[Gizza]

If he is fit I don't see why not. If he isn't then no. I don't think match fitness is much of an issue with Nic as he rarely plays a huge amount of TOG at the best of times. And we're getting practically nothing from Vardy atm anyway.

 

[wce4premiership]

Coaches only would know his numbers fitness wise. I'd say no but this MC is ridiculous at times. Ryder is a big ask but maybe we just concede defeat in the ruck and try shark the taps instead.

Vardy would miss out, not Petrie.
