Jason Nighingale

I reckon Aitken might find a pass tonight if the opportunity arises.

I think they might be popping a few to Flo tonight

Nightie, 250 games, what a great effort tonight. Well done.

Nightie, 250 games, what a great effort tonight. Well done.

A couple of massive plays-Stops Cook, stop Jennings. Champion.

Just a little snippet from the last article I read that I thinks been overlooked a bit.

Only four NRL players have ever done this.
Played 250 games.
30 internationals
Scored 100 tries.
Won a premiership.

Brad Fitler, Billy Slater, Darren Lockyer......and our Jason Nightingale.

Now I'm sure none of us would put Jason in that company as a player, but that is one hell of an achievement.

I put Flo well and truly up there alongside those players. Stat's say it all.

I posted this in the game thread 15 mins into the second half and i thought it deserved posting here.

For me it just sums up this true champion...

"THE MIGHTY GYPSY!!!

Made the Dufty try possible...

Stops Cook from a certain try...

Stops Jennings from a certain try...

All within about 5 minutes.

Shades of the 2010 grand final qualifier.

Absolute Legend..."

I was happy with Nightingale's performance tonight. He still is the slowest winger in the comp, but as long as opposition players are not given too much room to run around him, he is still one of the safest wingers in the comp.

 

[rednwhites]

Had an absolute blinder. I believe he played with extra confidence tonight which sounds odd for a veteran but would have loved being amongst the Kogarah crowd for this milestone match. Dragons legend.

Three massive bombs he diffused, stopped the grubber and counter attacked. More to being a great winger than just speed.
Showed his true worth tonight - the Cook fingernail tackle was a game saver.

A club player and a club champion. All about the team. He did his job with excellence. Put in the effort. Never gave up. Worked hard with every run. Great to see the club honour him tonight. Congratulations!

 

[Happy Old Dragon]

Congrats on your achievements nightly.
And had a blinder tonight.

How appropriate that he could play his 250th game at home.
And what a game he had.

Role model.
Legend.
And as others have said, future Ambassador!

Love your work nighty.

I will continue to curse everyone who bags the FLO.

He can retire on his own terms, deserves that.

 

[Happy Old Dragon]

Just watched the presser.
Nice touch to have Jason there, with Mary and Gareth.
And some lovely respectful words spoken, spoken by the coach, about Jason.
Nice one Mary!

He had a blinder, I was at the game and his defence to stop their tries was just awesome

However, we can’t let him go on in 2019, it will be time. Witnessing Dufty burn the grass this year and scoring sizzling tries just shows what another fast winger will bring to us.

It is the missing link in a GF win

Nighty will be our best ambassador ever and might even score a radio gig on top, look how well piggy ridell has taken to radio

Quality player, quality bloke by all accounts. His try saver last night was great and massive moment in the game.

No body deserves that. If you were CEO with that attitude , and if I was Flo , I'd ask for a 3 year upgrade !
A player is generally the last to know that they should retire.

I remember there was a cast of thousands calling for him to retire. If it wasn’t for him we would have lost against the sharks and lost last night. I think he deserves his spot.

Nighty did very well last night, proud of him
But it will be time at the end of this year calm one.
The tries he stopped were his to stop and a good winger had to make those tackles.
Nighty has my support and great respect,
But in 2019 we need him to be appointed to a key and great non footy role to enable us to create a team with speed to burn as well as nightys great skill
