NAS is only just turned 28, so it's not like he is 30+ and past it. Plenty of years left.

I get the feeling that there is something going on here that we don't know about, he only signed a 4 year contract last season, until 2027 with 2028 as a Mutual Option. What's changed? Did he sign for unders, big unders and now he is kicking stones?

Interestingly NAS sold his house in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago.

Hopefully he’s found a nice little 3x1 Punchbowl

storm rarely let anyone go unless there's a player swap
As was the case of Olam in a swap for Blore. They probably needed a forward so got rid of a back who was out of form and injured.

Of course it’s not happening. Tongue in cheek comment from me.
Rumours are just rumours...But where is the harm in dreaming ?
Then again stranger things have happened !

They’ll release him at the end of his contract and demand Preston and we’ll just roll over amd pay full freight but also giving them what they want.. just like Reimis, Meaney and Finucane.
If the rumours are true, I am Basing my opinion on our desperate need for a prop,
I would be willing to part with any of our forwards except for Kikau to gain NAS.

I was told tonight by one of Jac's family members that he's reached out to Nas about coming to the Dogs, doesn't mean anything will eventuate but just thought I'd pass it on.
Too much attitude for us apparently

Under the assistant, he will become a 1/4 of a middle.
The best forwards coach is Brad Arthur and I’d say Wayne Bennett and Bellamy seem to know what to say to rev their boys up.

Ciro was a forward himself, he should be able to develop some good ones but he does lack middles with any decent size at his disposal - Be interesting to see how he goes with Big Nelson.

Developing a player from juniors/reserves into first grade and managing the personality of a developed player are 2 different things. NAS doesn’t need any development, sounds like he needs an attitude shift

Melb are concerned about the attitude of a player and people here want him at dogs asap? Ok
It is entirely possible that NAS's current attitude is being caused due to his treatment by Melbourne, after all he has never had a reported attitude problem before. Remove the cause and his attitude will revert to standard.

The Storms only area of “weakness” is in their backrow stocks - Chan and Loiero currently at lock and second row…. Storm don’t move on players like NAS without a like-for-like swap deal…. Who would we exchange if we’re interested? I can only assume like-for-like would be one of Preston/Kiks/Curran?

If Nelson does leave the Storm it will be for Union
