Nigel Plum

Posted by Joseph on December 3, 2014 at 8:37pm

I met Nigel Plum today, I was at his home to complete a repair. 

What a great guy,  Nigel is a humble, salt of the earth bloke who is far from up himself. He was more than willing to to speak openly, passionately and honestly about Rugby League. 

He has a lovely family and nice home, I thought I'd share my experience as often genuine good guys in rugby League rarely get a wrap.

He spoke highly of Reece Robinson, he believes that he will be a surprise packet for the Eels.

    I like the Plum... reminds me a lot of our own Peter Johnston from years ago. Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end!

    He spoke highly of Reece Robinson, he believes that he will be a surprise packet for the Eels.

    Agree.

      Reece Robinson will definitely be an attacking weapon next year, if he gets some game time and cements a position. I think his is more suited at full back but I wouldn't mind if he was on the wing.

    Plum comes from up my way, he has been in the shop and is a great bloke, down to earth.

    Nice to hear Nigel came across as a good guy. One of the nicest guys I've met was Alex Chan, simply a champion

    LOL - here's hoping.

    I am NOT going to put any raps on him because everytime I give new players a good build up they FAIL. lol

    I remember when Robinson replaced Dugan in 2013, he was on fire. Line breaks and tries galore. League experts were asking Josh who?

    Hopefully he can recapture some of that form in 2015.

    Yeah I don't mind Reece Robinson.
    He is fast as but a bit small.
    Well if Ricky didn't rate him, the guy will play Origin.

    I can remember when Peter Johnston put Mario Fenech on his arse, shut up those smart arse Norths supporters who were around in the mid nineties
