Robin Nahas

Robin Nahas goes missing against the top teams as they usually have fleet footed medium size back flankers who not only keep up with him in foot races but also use their bulk to get him out of the way.

I feel we need a fleet footed rover or wingman who can carry the ball through the lines of the midfield - maybe Robin could fit this role as an outside midfielder?

He'll take White's spot not Nahas.

Normally I would say the same but not on form at the moment he won't.
Atleast White can run all day and brush a couple of tackles. Nahas gets thrown around like a rag doll.
If he isnt breaking lines and kicking goals his value is zero.

Must've missed that compelling form from White. Came on in the 3rd and had 3 kicks and 0 tackles.

White is not fit to tie Nahas's bootlaces. He wasn't great today but the previous 2 weeks Nahas picked up 37 touches and 4 goals. It would be a mistake to drop him after 1 bad game.

This. Just hasn't found any space in the forward line this year.

It certainly would. We're struggling enough with no roving in attack.

It's either the short memories or the stigma.
 
Nahas was great last year but this season is down statistically right across the board. He's another of our goalkickers who is struggling to impact the scoreboard.
I have a sense he was on the receiving end of a Dimma bake after the game. Needs to lift.
 
Was outmarked at least twice on Sunday at half forward in one on one marking contests he was never going to win.

Need Nahas gut running back into the forward line, not standing shoulder to shoulder in the forward line waiting
for the ball to rebound from defence.

Like several others, needs to work his strengths to expose the opposition weaknesses.
 
Needs to learn that an important part of the give-and-go move is to get the give right first. Skied handballs just don't cut it.
 
Nahas is too one-sided and simply not clean enough for someone his size.
 
Cost us 2 goals on the w/end.His verbal abuse of the ump.But the most glaring one was in the middle where he gathered the ball on the wing and couldn,t hit Grigg on the full 20mtrs away,Followed up and tried to break through 2 opponents,Got pinged and W/Coast went fwd and kicked a goal.
A player of his stature should know his limitations.

He must have said something pretty nasty because he walked away pretty quickly and looked to be mumbling under his breath more than demonstratively abusing anyone. He was a good ten metres away when the umpire blew his whistle for the free.

Surely he wasn't the only player to question the umpire's parentage on the day?
 
Deledio gave him a right spray on the wing - I could hear it :eek: when he had Deledio running past wanting the handball and nahas tried to pinpoint instead (to Grigg?). Anyway it ended up an Eagles goal. About 10 minutes later, deja vu, on the wing again, and he gave it to Deledio!

So yes he had a shocker but I hope he can turn it around next week.

It is pointless kicking to nahas in a marking contest. Better off putting it on the deck in front of him. And he is a better player mixing through the midfield running into the forward line. We miss King.
 
Have watched the replay. He was deplorable. No other word for it. Gave us a net negative & in a close game that kills you.

Has some real positives but some real negatives in his armoury.

Needs to lift against the good teams if he wants to have a long career.
 
His not Milne, but he lives playing port!
So he stays in,
What's with King walking straight back in? Reserves first!
