As per SEN, Nic Nat certain to miss start of season.

Was hoping both he and Lycett would start the season making Lycett more unique.

Was hoping Nic Nat started round 1 and then pulled up sore and was rested round 2. Currently 37% ownership.

This might be something he may never fully recover from we may have seen the best of NN

Saw a good article citing Darcy, Primus & Rehn being a shadow of their former selves after knee recos. Naitanui's was worse apparently.

This is gonna be one of those decisions that can't be made until Thursday night before round 1

Yep, Goldy's named, locked and loaded. Think this Preuss thing is being blown out of proportion. Goldy is Norf's number one ruck and it's just a case of who and how they fit his backup in the team.


Agree

They dropped Preuss after R4 and he didn't return until R19 when Goldy was clearly going through a lot off field at that exact time

Yeah I agree as well. The theory that they will play Preuss ahead of Goldy to get games into him is nonsense. Goldy is the best ruckman in the comp and had a down year with a lot going on, I expect him to bounce back. And even if he doesn't and averages 95 it's not the end of the world, won't be many better either way
Don't think they'll play him ahead of Goldy, reckon they'll play both alongside each other. Which is equally concerning as they'll share game time, hitouts and SC points.

That will rarely happen, neither of them are any good forward. Judging by what Scott is saying, Preuss is gonna have to show something pretty good up forward in the JLT for them to go with both

Time to stop talking about Goldy!  ;)

Goldy comes with a risk. Brad Scott talk is cheap.
NN continues to throw question marks around.
Just get Sauce.

Funny enough Sauce had more crap scores than Goldy last year.

That may be true but Preuss doesn't play for Adelaide and Sauce will likely play 22 games.

They don't have a choice though, their only other key forward is Darcy Moore and bucks has said they are going to play him back.
I guess they could just go with Reid forward but thats hardly a safe plan given his injury history
