He really is isn't he. Also he is starting to get the superstar calls now like JT and co would get. So weird to have someone like this at our f**king club.Face of the game
I think that is a work in progress. Think about when we landed him to now..I talked to someone in the know about how Nicho is a genuine superstar of the NRL, and asked if the club actually realises what they have and what kind of sponsorships they can get by having him there. The reply I got was, I don't think they do. Fitzy does but they don't.
They should be lining new sponsors up to have Nicho part of them.
Imagine what Uncle Nick would be doing with him.
That's fair mate, and I hope you are right. I would hope that somewhere in the big end of town some mobs would want to invest.I think that is a work in progress. Think about when we landed him to now..
Nicho they thought they would get vs what they have now is so different. It has happened fast when you zoom out. You don't sign many 23/24 year old play makers with under 30 games or so who become the face of the game. No textbook for it. Give it another six or so months and I reckon they will be really working the new face of the game.
We did start this pre season with our sponsorships sold out for kit though I will say.
Good, well let's bank the most bankable star the NRL has to offer, by-a long-fecking-way. And become one of those strong clubs that we keep hearing about that they want to become.Dino and uncle Nick are very close. I’d say there would be some talks happening there. Guidance
The other thing I really love about Nicho’s play is that he’s not a robotic half back. There is a shyte load of unpredictability in his game. He’ll execute the set plays but he’ll also play what he sees and if he sees an opportunity he’ll put in a little kick behind the defence or run instead of passing because he sees an opportunity. He’s got great composure and he’s relentless. He’s an 80minute player he doesn’t drift in and out of games like a Mitch Moses etc.I’ve said it before on another thread - imagine being a forward in Nichos team. You’d run through walls for him, you’d be prepared to pretty much kill for him, you’d protect him at all costs…. He’s ours, we will protect him, and we will lay a platform for him to shine….
It’s a bit weird, because he’s a half back, and I’m very much a forward (and therefore love my hard nosed forwards), but I think Nicho is possibly the most inspirational player I’ve ever seen. It’s everything, his style of play, the fact he’s fearless and happy to put his body on the line, but then there’s his off field story and persona - I think the best way I can put it is that he is everything you’d want your son to grow up to be, or your daughter to bring home as her fella.

Love him. Can't believe how we - if a bloke would not be much chop. No money. Nothing fancy... Just left a 3/10 who broke our balls every week and we all hated then walked into a relationship with a super model who loves BBJs is DTF and loves us just as much as we love him. What the f**k. 10 years ago we were watching Jeff Robson. We just went through the Chadolution lesss goh while I promote my shit beer. Now we have THAT guy(or girl in my example IDK too many acronyms FFS)
