Getting sick of seeing replays of Nicknat's ruckwork

[Flawed Genius]

We get it. Nick Natanui can jump. Nick Natanui can run. He can jump and run and tap.

For how many more years will the commentators replay & jizz over every single ruck contest that Natanui jumps clear over his opponent?

I swear, I'm watching the delayed telecast of the North - WC game and after one quarter, I can already count at least 7 times where Quartermain or Blight have blown all over themselves about Natanui's high leaps at a ruck contest - then replayed it and jizzed over it again.

I am a fan of Nicknat as a footballer and I am also in awe of his abilities, but it's the same thing he's been doing since he first debuted - when does it become less exciting?

*Main point of thread is to state complete hate for Quartermain and Blight.

*shrugs* same manner which tennis commentators jizz over Roger Federer.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Get used to it.

 

[Spikey]

If keeps on doing taps like the one he did in the 3rd to LeCras then I say don't stop showing them.

 

[Bennett.]

You should try living over here. You'd swear he was the second coming.

 

[borgsta2006]

its just like Blight's constant bagging of the North Melbourne players. You get over it in time!

I just hope our ruckmen were watching that! Also anyone who doesn't want to watch or hear about Naitanui better find a new sport to follow because you are going to be hearing about his every action for the next decade.

You'd think they'd never seen a black man before.

Repped for racism. Oh wait...

 

[Public Enemy No1]

Your right...should be showing all the dodgy frees North have been getting in front of goal

 

[Bombers_Forever]

I would rather see it than the Norf cheersquad in the commentary box - his tap to Le Cras for his 4th goal was sublime.

 

[dmc333]

As is expected, one post and it flew over a head.

They just don't get it.

 

[jko'neal]

He is exciting and will only get better, but I reckon he gets credited with hit outs opposition ruckman have a hand on just as much.

 

[Rumblah#16]

They just don't get it.

Epic thread Jordy.

I liked the bit where they interrupted live game-play to show Harveys run and missed goal again. They couldn't wait 3 minutes until the match had finished :\ i mean i know we where getting flogged but i still like to see out a match...

 

[DrTomSwift]

I don't mind the endless replays of his ruckwork but what annoys me is how they choose to constantly point the camera at him at quartime, halftime, before the game after the game, etc. There are 43 other players that we can take in an interest in but it's constantly him.

 

[stugots]

modern day broadcasting - w***ery of the highest order

 

[dockers_bengals]

You should try living over here. You'd swear he was the second coming.

Dead right,an weagle tackled a player in the forward fifty and NN picked up the loose ball with no pressure from 45 put through the goal and F*** me anyone thought he broke four tackles and snapped it from the boundry."He shouldn't be able to do that"someone said.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I'm happy for them to show replays of what he does particularly well.

I get sick of them filming him non-stop and focusing the commentary on him in the HOPE that he does something particularly well.

+1

Yeah the kids alright, but wayyy overhyped

he seems to be doing things that are "spectacular" only because he sticks out like anything on the football field and he's looked at on potential more than his actual skills atm if anything (see Watts) and he probably will only get better but they he his talked up over here is just annoying - it's incredible how thick everyone is to say he is ALREADY a superstar - not quite there by long shot but he could be in a few years

 

[goDees22]

It was a bit OTT. only had 13 hitouts for the match, Christian was worse than Blight or Quartermain but then he would probably seem excited by a game of chess

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

That tap was really the only special thing he did, but it was pretty awesome!

 

[vonn]

Watched the game it was painful.

"Oh NicNat did a jump! AND TOUCHED THE BALL AT THE SAME TIME... WHILST BREATHING...my GOD what CAN'T HE DO.. SO MUCH.. TALENT! *jizz"

 

[whelan=legend]

Seriously, commentators jizz over anything Nic Nat does. If he takes a mark and does a simple kick to a team mate, they go crazy. It's because he sticks out like dogs balls.

Imagine a white guy doing the exact same thing and it's alot less impressive.
