Ryder vs Naitaunui

[gO_bOmBeRz]

2 very exciting prospects, who would you like better in your team ?

 

[HyperAgressiveDonk]

Probably Ryder, but Nic Nat has a heap of upside and may or may not end up the better player.

 

[jonoman89]

Ryder. Easily.

 

[theboxmike]

Hard choice because i think Naitaunui probably has more up side but Ryder is the better player at the moment...

Ryder because of Bias

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Ryder for sure at the moment, no doubt. But so he should be

 

[kickingoals]

Both are real talents no doubt about it !
Ryder averaged 12 posessions last year in his 5th season ,Naitanui in his second avearged 11.7 ,

Whilst Ryder is going to be a good player he seems to go missing for games , Naitanui looks as if he can be a superstar .

if Ryder can keep his intensity going the way he did for the whole game on Sunday, he's going to be the player he can be, gun.

He has lacked intensity and gone in and out of games til now, but he's just getting to the age and maturity required, and if he can keep it going I'll be very excited to see the results.

Naita is going to take time. It's Ryders 6th season - I could see it taking as long for Naita to click

 

[anti_]

think ryder's going to have a big one this year, i like his forward work as well.

NN has to get on the park, hopefully that happens this week. at the very least, nicnat will be an amazing ruckman. i just hope he can become that extra tackling midfielder we need.

bit of an age gap, obviously ryder is a better player at this point in time. lots of unknowns around NN.

ryder probably the safe bet at this point in time.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Ryder for sure. Nic Nat has the upside, but Ryder is a footballer who is athletic, not an athlete learning the game of football.

 

[Rocky_Star_Pro]

Naitanui has the potential to become an absolute freak

but I'm happy with Ryder, safer bet and looks to have a big year

 

[worstfold]

ryder by a long way if natanui could be half as good as ryder he should be happy

Really. NN is catching up pretty quickly, despite not getting much time in the ruck.

In fact it is amazing the two can be compared considering the difference in age/experience.

You could compare Pavlich and Watts, it doesn't mean they're close though.

 

[DivideandMultiply]

You could, but realistically NN is much much closer to Ryder than Watts is to Pav.

NN is the better tap ruckman of the two and he is fast gaining in the "around the ground" stakes.

What Ryder has over NN is the fact he is a better marking option in the f50. NN can certainly kick goals though but usually these are running goals or from a stoppage.

In the end I ink NN will be the better player.

I think NN will be the better player as well. But atm i don't think they are really in the same league Ryder is an A Grader (not elite by any means). But i consider NN probably a C Grader at the moment. Could be A+ at the end of the year however.

 

[BigBroMike]

Ryder is better atm but NN has more potential upside

 

[BrownPearHookers]

Ryder will be the better KPF.
Naitanui will be the better ruckman.

 

[DivideandMultiply]

Ryder will be the better KPF.
Naitanui will be the better ruckman.

Pretty hard to argue with.

Surprisingly a lot of Ryder love, to be honest would've thought the poll was going to be the other way around.
Interesting.

Think a lot of voting was done very early in the year, imagine would be one way traffic in the voting now

It was done right after Ryder had a huge game.

I think the results would be much different now the season has wrapped up.

NN will be a much better player.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Who didn't vote Naitanui?

Name names.

Very questionable.

 

[Jex]

Ryder's last couple of months have been better Nic's.

 

[Play by Numbers]

Ryder's last couple of months have been better Nic's.

Have they?

Statistically their seasons have been pretty much equal.

Ryder with slightly better output as a forward, NN with better output as a contested ball winner/backup ruck.

From watching their respective games NN certainly influences the contest far more and makes his weight felt around the ground even when not stat gathering. Can really impact the result of games.

I think the fact that NN's output has been comparable this year and his upside indicates he will easily end up the better player.

Yeah i agree

But Ryder should be far better than he is IMO. Needs some ahem "testosterone" in him i think
