NEWS: John Worsfold, speaking about Naitanui and Adam Selwood said on Wednesday "They're both keen to play, very keen to play. Their track record would say they're both a really good chance if they think they're in that position to come up. Some of our hamstring injuries, players show some damage on an MRI but can play the same week because it's very minor. Nic's hamstring came more from a cramp situation so it wasn't major damage." | ||||

NEWS: Naitanui has actually played well under his potential over the past few years, suffering from serious shoulder problems, and has put off having an operation. Some have suggested 2012 is the year he takes over the Number 1 Ruck Role from Dean Cox. With his influence on the game he will need to be prepared for some more attention and strategy from opposition players and coaches. | ||||

NEWS: Worsfold marveled at Naitanui's athletically gifted dunk this week, but also felt it was quite irresponsible. Worsfold believes he must think about the younger team mates, and set an example for his club. This close to the season, he should not be putting himself in dangerous situations. The dunk was not planned. | ||||
