The rhetoric coming out of Blues camp is that Nicho will come on at 9…. Could just be a smokescreen, but if they do go that way, what a waste when they could have just gone Cook/Api. As much as I love Nicho, he’s not a 9, and certainly not better at 9 than Cook or Api. If they wanted a 9 rotation, pick 2 9’s, don’t waste Nicho there.
Reckon Freddie has lost his bottle, can’t make the tough calls - too close to incumbents, and too close to the media to leave someone like Nicho out.
Ponga did it. Why can't Nicho. He's way bigger and way better than Pongy BumIt’s a ridiculous move.
Bring him on to defend in the middle against the likes of Tino, Flegler and Arrow.
Setting the poor bugger up for failure.
