Nickname has to be Sanga. Fits with Reuben and he's nearly a ranga.

Reubs is an absolute gun already, definitely deserves the nomination after all the work he’s put in over the last year or so. Bulking up by 10kg last year shows how dedicated he is.
The fact that our captain called him out specifically when announcing he was debuting speaks volumes of how highly he is rated internally.
I can’t wait to watch him continue to grow over the next ten years or so.
Extend his contract now please!!

Reed and Portman!!! Killing it. Shame Goldberg just ripped his hammy off the bone. Would have made an excellent third bash brother. Noah long will play the role of Banks

He seems to have a serious lack of hesitation.gets the ball, does the thing.
Hope that doesn’t change.

God damn he looks so effortless in being quick. It's like he's not breaking from a slow stride.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Hus athletic profile is top 5 in the league. His speed is almost effortless. What has required huge effort and gets a huge pat on the back from me is his dedication. The combination of speed, strength, power and endurance is pretty much unmatched in the league.
His footskills are average but his decision making is much better than I thought. He has shown huge endeavour and improvement in finding the ball as well. His only other real area that lacks strength is his overhead game. He's not a natural high marker and not great overhead for his height.
But his strengths perfectly suit the role we have for him and need from him.
Congrats and we'll deserved. Wins his own ball, tackles, has good disposal and runs all day. Playing like a 3rd year player already. Looking fwd to seeing him play 200+ for us.
I won't lie, his mouthguard antics give me anxiety and it absolutely boils my piss.
It's one thing watching Flan Rahn walk around chewing gum, it's another watchin Ruben running around in contests with a mouth guard always hanging out of his gob.
It clearly doesn't fit him. How's he's allowed to carry on at the highest level without a custom fit mouthguard (which only costs like 75 bucks these days from Gameday mouthguards) is beyond me.
I still remember the days when DS senior would backhand me for squeeling when we were moulding the boil and bite type at home... which would inevitably fall out when I'd be throwing up Don't argues in U10's and getting asked to play state U16's when i was 8.
Sort it out or sack Nesbitt

His kicking is isn't elite but there's nothing I've seen so far that shown he's average.
our last powerful inside mid that didn't believe in mouth guards went alrightI won't lie, his mouthguard antics give me anxiety and it absolutely boils my piss.

Man it was a shame that he and gaff had that blue
His nickname his Noodles in his home town
Of the 5 players we picked up in the national draft he was the worst kick of the lot (Including Barnett). His goal kicking leaves a lot to be desired, he can get under long kicks at times (most of the time they are fine), his shorter kicks can be a touch dinky and he is a kick it to an area rather than to the exact spot required king of guy. There is nothing wrong with that, but he's an average kick at best for an AFL level player.
Just because something is someone's weakness doesn't mean it's a career threatening issue or a team threatening issue in regards to winning a premiership. But his kicking is what it is and with his dedication it may improve a bit but I am to this day yet to see a player who comes from a lifetime junior football background go from being an average kick to a great one at the top level.
Now if he was a borderline player barely able to make it and his kicking is what it is without his other gifts it would be a different story.
I feel like Phils long spiels about Ginbey being a shit kick have been a bigger constant in my life than my dad.
It's funny because after 3 rounds there appears to be absolutely zero evidence to suggest he is anything of the sort... and yet here Phil is

Yeah but let's face it - it was just the excuse they needed to jump ship.
