Nightingale- Mr reliable (rocks & diamonds)

[ChargingPatJarvis]

When he’s on... he’s on
When he’s off.. he’s usually still on.
But tonight....Rookie errors creeping in.
I don’t like seeing this happening to a champion.
Thoughts?

 

[TomRedVRiver]

Lomax. NOW.

 

[Brutalitops]

Crazy talk. He was great tonight, but as always an error is worth 10 times anything good for some reason

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

He was on 176 metres half way through the second half.
Bad catch, but cleaned it up, couple of times a faster winger may have made it to the line, if the pass from Aitken had been on his chest it may have made a difference.

Still a 100% effort, can’t drop him after that game.

 

[Brutalitops]

Needs a mention for how he saved a 7 tackle set out of nowhere too

 

[gitano]

Had a blinder. Some people on here have absolutely no idea, zero about football.

 

[SaintElroy]

An aging flo is still better than 90% of the other wingers in the comp.

 

[Dragon Revival]

Nightingale is a champion.

Nighty does something good, (usually) nothing gets said.

Nighty does something bad, (mostly) everyone loses their mind.

Thought Nighty did some real good things today. Strong and safe. Defused a bomb amidst a crowd of Roosters. Picked up and ran but didn’t do anything stupid with the ball after the break. He is certainly putting it in running strongly from dummy half. Aitkin is giving him really poor service. Passing to his feet and not setting him up. I think it was Gus who commented, a world class centre sets his winger up for a try...

I have been critical of some of his games earlier this year not through effort but father time catches us all.
This game and the last few he has been exceptional.
Saved us under the high ball a couple of times tonight plus he and Aitken are working better in defence together.

 

[rednwhites]

Was absolutely positive this thread was going to be about the blinder Nightingale had. Yes I more than open to strengthening our left wing position but in saying that, I think we may have struggled to win this game without him. He was heavily involved and gave us some stability and match awareness that comes with experience.

 

[Gareth67]

Certainly nowhere as bad as the Roosters Ferguson . But there is no doubt that age is starting to catch up with him , however at this point I believe he does more good then bad .

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

What 'Flo' lacks in speed, his experience has more than made up, today.
He earn't every one of his dollars this week.
Well done to a club legend.

Leave God alone

Leave God alone

Why? He said nothing bad about me..

Aitken actually passed the ball to Nightingale twice today, that is twice as many times than in the whole year, including trials, but one pass was on Nightingale's shins.

Strengthening our left wing or right wing? Nene is close to the form winger in the comp this year.

He saved us a few times by reading the play , without him tonight they might have scored a couple .....

 

[Saints Forever]

All credit to Flo today.

It was his best game of the season.

Did plenty very well.

Very focused and determined.

His lack of speed is a drama in attack.

Love the bloke. Is a champion.

Crossing my fingers that Melbourne wingers do not embarrass him next round. He deserves better.
