Good discussion. Given Soldo's form early/mid season I thought Nank might be the one to be traded. We do need cover next year - Nank number one, are CCJ/Chol enough? Maybe.
I truely believe that the club had concluded from mid 2019 that we needed a taller ruck option in the middle to give our onballers first use. We were being destroyed by quick transitions from centre clearances. Dusty in particular seemed to enjoy Soldo at least breaking even to give him an opportunity and,as we all know, that’s all Dusty needs.
It was obvious that they were playing Soldo in front of Nanks and that Nanks didn’t respond well to it. Nanks indeed looked shaky. Undersized and not particularly athletic as a marking forward option, many on here were questioning his future at the club.
With Soldo out, Nanks well and truely reminded all and sundry that he’s going nowhere. Was one of the best returns to form you could witness and amplified to legend status because he did it at the pointy end of the season. Spectacular achievement. And all without a contract!
