Nankervis !!

You've got to love an angry big man. The ghost of the Swamp Fox returns. Great to see number 25 continuing the tradition.
 
Smart footballer the big fella, he's getting some impressive numbers as an extra mid, competes bloody hard , always a get out option for players in trouble, dishes of when it's the best option and takes the responsibility when it's his turn.

Yep his a bit of an old oak tree lumberer type , however makes up in every other area.
 
So pleased that Nankervis is playing in the Yellow and Black. His credentials keep on rising.
To think he might play another 150, possibly 200, games is an absolute and wonderful bonus for the Tigers.

I fear how we will cope when he gets an injury.

you can say that for all teams when their ruckman goes down.
Silly post!
we actually have 2 other ruckmans that would help!

We have 2 other ruckmen who playing the midsmashing role and are our highest inside 50 deliverers? Really?

Silly me.
 
Love the Tank and i think its now expected every week he will smash the packs and provide repeat contests.

Thought he was well beaten 1st half yesterday but fought on and at least split (probably won the contest 2nd half), is so important around the ground.

As others have said, what a steal for pick 34, essentially a 8-10 year player in a position we have struggled...
 
Only got 21 HO to Vardy and Giles 50 (Elton got 5 HO too) but Nanny had 10 HOTA so nearly 50%.
Vardy and Giles had 13 HOTA combined from their 50 HO.

Funny Leon no where to be seen.

We're getting smashed in the hitouts on the weekly basis but smashing teams in clearances and contested ball. Poor Hampy has been relegated to 5th ruck behind Grigg.
 
Thanks Sydaneee - any one else up there who is surplus to needs

Oh and how many games have you won - maybe I suggest you go out and recruit a decent ruckman for a start.
 
I thought the Nank was a bit disappointing yesterday. Trying to put my finger on it. His defensive running wasn't good enough compared to his hurt on the offence and aerial presence.

They were dead set getting off him in the first half. But as Tt has said he fought back. We'd take this game most weeks and the lad's got upside.
 
Loving this bloke. Great mark, great tackler and most importantly as well he's also a very good kick. Always looks for lead up options and generally hits them. So different to seeing Hampson drop it on the boot, roost it as high as he can and hope it lands somewhere near a Tiger.
