I actually like this news. If he was rucking with this pain then imagine him pain free.

He said he had the option to have the operation earlier in the year but put it off to help the club amid its worst season on-field.

''They (medical staff) said I could get it done but that it would mean I would probably miss the rest of the year,'' Naitanui said.

''So I just said 'Nah, I'll play with it'. Whenever it got sore I'd just have a few jabs."

God I love this kid.

NicNat must be mistaken - the journo's said he is out for 4 months.

i hate young players playing with injuries, confidence killer and further damage.
It seems like only a niggling injury, still would have prefered him to get the surgery done and miss the rest of the season.
looking forward to him getting a full pre season into him.

Surely your wit is as sharp as said needle.

Bravo.

 

[Saila]

Very reassuring. Seeing as the medical staff didn't mind him leaving the operation until after the season it means that the long term effects on his shoulder will most likely be minimal.

loving your work

Hopefully the medicos don't let him push himself too hard in rehab, but given they stopped Shuey from doing too much after his injury I don't think there's much to be worrying about.

If the team docs thought it was fine to keep playing, thats good enough for me. We all know they are not going to risk NicNat

He is the one player on our team who really needs to play as many games as he can to improve.

 

[bodazoka]

Geez he has a great attitude, him and Shuey you can build a team around. You get the sence they both have the attitude and desire that creates champions.

I used to worry that Naita will be a taller Staker (in terms of consistancy). Not worried any more.

onyacoxy kept this thread alive.

 

[worsfold]

Well that explains why they elevated Sulivan in front of Hams and strike at the start of the year

Bring on a pain free Naita for 2011
