Pick a Nikorima.

[GoTheBroncs]

It kind of helps getting the "runs on the board" when you're 2 1/2 years older.

Kodi turns 22 in April. And Jayden only turns 20 at the end of the 2016 season in October.

It'll be very interesting to see how well Jayden is going with another 2 1/2 years development under his belt. He's certainly made the right career move coming to the Roosters I'm sure we can all agree on that.

Ftr, Broncos fans were filthy when we signed Nikorima (despite having Hunt and Milf... greedy!). The general concensus was that Jayden is the more talented brother... some suggesting by a distance. Again, that's from the mouths of most Broncos fans...

I never said that Jayden wouldn't become the better player, I was just stating the facts that Kodi has made it while Jayden hasn't, yet. Some coaches would prefer that over "potential", which sometimes comes off and sometimes doesn't.

Off course Broncos fans are pissed off we lost Jayden, it always happens when a club loses a talented player. It's true you can keep them all but that doesn't have to stop people from being annoyed about it. If Roosters still had RTS and lost Latrell Mitchell, would they be pissed off? Yes I should think so!

Yes it is well known that Jayden is considered the more talented player, what's your point? What that translates to is another question.

Still waiting for Albie to start a thread worth reading

 

[Tommy Smith]

Hmmm, I'll pick the more mature one at this point. Isn't Jayden already embroiled in the Mitchell Pearce debacle?
Anyway, its not all about talent, attitude is what gets you there....maturity and experience will probably ease out talent any day. Be interesting to see

Yeah Jayden was totally embroiled. Sitting quietly at a private party, being respectful and minding his own business.

Tear up his contract and lock him away I say!

Bailey Sironen.

Doesn't matter diddly squat about what they've done last year.
Doesn't matter diddly squat what they will achieve this year.

Read the question, it's all about the WCC.
Who will perform better there.

Too many eager beavers here and yet they fail to read the question that's posed.

Personally, I think between the two - Kodi will do better at the WCC. I am looking forward to seeing how Jayden goes though - This from a non Roosters or Broncos supporter.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Its glorified trial shit no different to the stuff going on here this weekend.

Who cares.

 

[Big Pete]

Hmm the makeshift five-eight who wouldn't even be on the bench if Pearce didn't f*ck up or a guy who's actually played first grade and is in the top 17 players at his club? Tough one.

Jayden was set to fill the bench utility role even before the Pearce balls-up.

He's certainly made the right career move coming to the Roosters I'm sure we can all agree on that.

Nope.

Sydney have a wealth of young talented five-eighths. Signing Nikorima on top of that was just greedy and he would have been better off at Manly, Melbourne or Canterbury.

In fact, unless Pearce gets sacked, he's going to end up exactly where he would have at the Broncos - coming off the bench.

The general concensus was that Jayden is the more talented brother... some suggesting by a distance. Again, that's from the mouths of most Broncos fans...

And the Roosters have paid him accordingly.

That's one element that cannot be overlooked. Jayden was offered a king's ransom to head down south, while Kodi accepted an affordable short-term deal.

I doubt Kodi will stick around at the Broncos.

Bailey Sironen.

Once Bayley learns how to hold onto the ball...maybe...

Lol, not saying he was doing anything wrong mate...just saying that his inexperience & youth perhaps found him in a situation whereas some maturity might have seen a different scenario. The question was 'pick a Nikorama' and I gave my opinion based on maturity and experience being a deciding factor in which one I'd pick, not on talent - imo those things are also reflected on the field.
Given time Jayden may surpass his brother and I wish them both well

 

[Tommy Smith]

A prettt scary debut from Jayden Nikorima.

Running, passing... so natural. What a talent.

 

[hineyrulz]

Jayden murdering these plodders so far.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

:lol: As if anyone outside of the Broncos and Roosters fanbases gives two shits about how the Nikorima bros are gonna do.

If you consistently had this mindset, you'd never start a thread or make a post. Kiwis fans might give a toss too?

 

[roostersrule2]

Whilst not an official debut, that would have to be up there with the greatest debuts of all time.

If he plays a similar game against souffs and keeps it up for the rest of the year; we'll have our rookie of the year.

 

[Son of Minto]

Spewing Kiwi fans, Australia has the better Nikorima brother.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

That was a wonderful debut by a 19 year old. He is a star of the present, let alone the future.

It will be interesting now to see if brother Kodi can equal that performance tomorrow against the might of Wigan.

Absolutely. I was impressed with Nikorima and there is a chance the roosters could be entertaining if he plays this year, but St Helen's showed the gap between the NRL and Superleague today. He certainly won't have the room he did today

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

The Nikorimas could turn out to be bigger than the Burgesses in terms of crowd and media appeal.

Nikorima's > Daddo's

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Incidentally, does anyone know the ethnic and geographical origin of the Nikorima brothers?

Kodi has played for New Zealand and Jayden wants to play for Australia. Strange situation.
