Nightingale's career should have been over at the end of last year.Rumours are flo stayed in Mlb due to swelling in his shoulder !!!
That being the case has mcidiot killed his career
Interesting comments by Sterlo saying "it is very unusual to carry a winger on the bench, interesting times ahead to see which way they go with that".
It's obvious mate ship & team bonding is taking precedence over team strength & I'm not just talking about Nighty.
BGB, I think he will this year, he is different now. Nighty wont play again, his career is over.As we saw last year with our dismal run of losses, Mary wouldn’t change the team then, he won’t now.

A career winger asked to defend in the middle of the field all night knowing the opposition coach had directed all his forwards to run at you all night, I think he did pretty well consideringAt the end of the day Nighty was asked to do a job he wasn’t cut out for. It’s all well & good to excuse his increased workload on account of Host going off injured but the fact remains he didn’t handle it well. I consider his effort as a contributor to our loss, not the sole reason for it. The fact remains his individual performance should be enough to see him dumped but I think it won’t happen because we play the Tigers next & they aren’t exactly a team of monsters.
Like I said, the loss isn’t solely on him. The thing is he struggled in the middle, that’s undeniable. As a winger, in recent times he has been caught out at times. They aren’t good signs, rose coloured glasses & all.A career winger asked to defend in the middle of the field all night knowing the opposition coach had directed all his forwards to run at you all night, I think he did pretty well considering

I think the point is if he’s not a good enough winger anymore, and arguably he isn’t, then he’s defiantly not a good enough reserve forward.
Mary should have bit the bulliet and sent him down to mentor the ISP players.
It looks like we’re on the same page then.
Nor at the expense of his health.Nightingale tackled his butt off on Thursday but with big forwards targeting him he simply couldn't cut it in the middle of the park. Why with Host gone was Nighty left on for so long while Sele and Lawrie were getting splinters in their bums? Crazy. He is too slow for wing or centre, too small for the back row and therefore is a liability for the bench. The call from Bellamy to run at Nightingale will be replicated by every coach for the remainder of the year. I think his time has well and truly come but he will be kept in our 17 because sentiment and loyalty seem to be ruling the roost at STGI where Jason is concerned. I hope that when our SOO boys come back their defensive strength will allow Jason to be used in short stints in the middle. Hopefully I won't remember 2018 only for it being the year the Dragons showed their respect and loyalty to a champion clubman, and not the year we made the GF. Nighty deserves everything we can give him in 2018, both on and off the field, but not at the possible expense of our season.
If the coach was an intelligent rational person Nighty would not be asked to do a job in the middle of the park.At the end of the day Nighty was asked to do a job he wasn’t cut out for.

All I can say he has had more than most to prove himself , and I'm really not that confident that he will finish the season running ....If the coach was an intelligent rational person Nighty would not be asked to do a job in the middle of the park.
If a Mary thinks Nighty can do the job of a second row forward....then it’s time for a straight jacket and a tranquilliser gun for McIdiot.
Fair dinkum, the most useless coach in the history of the club, including Steve Price and Craig Young.
Nightingle is just getting in way.But should Nightingale be on the bench and if so, how do you think he should be used off the bench?
