Jason Nightingale Appreciation Thread

[SaintElroy]

Legend. Still our best winger and one of the best in the comp. what he lacks in speed he has guts and determination. You know what you get with him week in week out. Safe as houses this bloke.

Shaun Nona being released is disappointing but i can understand him asking for an early release.

It's not like we have a plethora of halves options for the remainder of the season though.

On a positive note...

LONG LIVE THE GYPSY!

Deserves his extension and also all of the kudos's that are given to him - a real Red and White Dragon .

Totally agree...great player and club man who has been very loyal and a nice guy as well!!

I can see him getting bagged a lot from now until his retirement (for being slow and not being James Roberts) but in an age where loyalty is dead, where consistency is so hard to find, and where players no longer bleed for the Dragons, I say, this is fantastic news. My favourite, and I know a lot of others' favourite player - Jason Nightingale. You are a legend.

Well said.
He a true red and white saint and legend both on and off the field.
The other players love him and the young guys like lomax hang on every word he imparts.

Nightys extension gives me an extension.

Another year that means we get to bask in the almighty Nighty is just fine by me!

Too much info for my liking

Still our best back (unfortunately) so well worth another year. He is an inspirational player and can mentor the young guys coming through.

 

[coast_dragons]

Always a fan of Nighty but the game has passed him by and he should have retired.

If he keeps getting three tries, he gets my vote for as long as he wants.

Really , completing a back line move and finishing off an inside backs skill , yes doing his job. As for the future he will be the slowest winger and getting to be the oldest. I still don't mind that but he will block the "pathway " and avenues for our young players introduction to the NRL AND under a coach that won't drop him no matter how he is playing. That disturbs me
