Don't worry Jimmy.
Nakas has been slapped by very ordinary Ruckman this year. He got Ladhmans a contract extension last week.
The captaincy wasn't required.

Thanks for this scintillating contribution.
Nank has been better than Soldo, both have been down.
Soldo is the better tap ruck and needs to find some form when he moves forward.
Shhhhhh. You’ll wake up the nuffies.
But yes he was huge. Again
Anybody listen to ABC last night?
I had it on at the game and within the first minute Mark Maclure had declared that he couldn't see how Nank could keep up with Finlaysons run and mobility
Immediately afterwards Nank took a strong mark and I don't recall him discussing it much after that
Bloke is a hater

The Nank/Soldo TOG is interesting atm.
On the Nank 2022, I'd say he's always a counterpuncher. Getting beat? He won't tighten up.He'll go for a clearance or kick a goal. Need a spoil? He'll mark it.
Nank attacks. And again. He doesn't tag, tighten up or spoil. At a bounce he finds body because that's all he can do. Then he works for a clearance. Or a tackle.
Soldo is a knee return. Nank is not far off right. And looks sound.
The TOG is interesting. Nank/Soldo. That could change. But it looks like our plan as at R13.

Wasn't our rucks that got beaten, it's our mids that struggle around the contest that hurts us. Presty, Shorty n Bakes three midgets doing the bulk of our clearance work around the ruck with the old blokes like Cotch, Dusty, Shedda, even Lamblett shadows of their former selves.
I thought De Konning was good. He plays a Luke Darcy kind of game, he is early leapy, with neat skills when he gets it.
I also thought the Balta injury nearly cost us the game. He was obviously about to take his turn in the ruck and Nank was about to have his rest before a big last ten minutes to finish the game when he hobbled off. Nank got his rest anyway and Jack had to take the next few centre bounces. That’s when McKay got off the leash.
Hardwick always sticks to his guns on these scheduled rests, no matter what. It is one of his defining qualities as a coach but he often lets teams back into games. Mind you, a fresh Nank was very valuable at the end.

I thought his first quarter yesterday was the worst I've seen him play & it was a big reason the Cats got off to a flyer.
Improved when Soldo came on but I can't agree it was a great game overall. Interestingly only used for 74% game time. Maybe he's NQR.

Agree. Like the rest of the midfield, he was off in the first quarter. Plus I thought Soldo was better at centre square bounces over the game. Great last quarter though dropping behind the play - that’s one strength he has which Soldo can’t do.
