I'd say the reason Nanko has gone ahead has been Naismith's injuries. Fiddly injuries as they are they have been telling. but I saw Big Sam in his last game and he was incredible. Bloody & hard are the words I'd use. He hunts the opposition and gets the hitouts. It is his ruckwork that has helped this reserves team to be so dominant. His, Nanka & Derrickx. They are all good ruckmen, Tom is a bit less composed than the others. In the two last matches Naismith has averaged over 50 HO. A good time to blood the young man. Believe me he will be ok. Not like the first time when he was a rookie ruck against the premier ruck in the AFL in Maric.
