2022 squad

[Tiger Shark]

He won't go.

Fitzy will sit him down.

Tell him his plan.

How important he is.

What he will learn from finucane.

How his game will get back on track.

How he sees him as a future leader.

Give him a cuddle.

Nikora will fold and stay.

The poor bugger has been playing with some absolute bums for a few years. The service from the Chad was complete shit. Maybe he thought he shouldve been captain and then had to sit and watch the pillow lead the team out each week and then lead from the back for the next 70.
Training under hannay wouldve been a farce. Nikora loves defence and we obviously never worked on it.

Who wouldnt be pizzed.

You're assuming Fitz wants him to stay. I'm sure he doesn't want him to leave but him leaving might create opportunities elsewhere.

Not sure how much he's on but you'd think 400k ish ?? That could free up money for Sims if he really wants him.

 

[snout]

That's true - he may not want him.

Sims or Nikora. That's a tough one.

 

[Bob Scott]

That's true - he may not want him.

Sims or Nikora. That's a tough one.

The thing is , there is a good player in Nikora , just has to sort a couple of things and get consistent .
Takes a good player to regularly run the lines he does and his defence needs to get more consistent but i think with a coach like Fitz and Finucane and McInnes these things can be ironed out .
I find Sims far too inconsistent , if we got the SOO Sims all the time , for sure , but plays pretty ordinary most of the time IMO .

 

[crazy pineapple]

this has escalated soo much over a rumour on that other forum

bet they're laughing so hard right now

haha the off season hits some harder than others.. people can go a little crazy

 

[snout]

Sims is current SOO in a year where there's a lot of competition for that spot.
He's a tough farker.

Nikora has a bit to go to reach his potential.
Which is a compliment. I'd love to see what he could become in a more professional setting.

 

[Mr Angry]

Nikora is a current Kiwi International.

He cannot go higher.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Says more about NZ lack of talent pool than Nikoras actual ability.

Who said 'higher'?

Not that that's even the right word in that context.

 

[carinashark]

Sim’s in heart beat, especially with the new lineup and coach. Happy to see Nikita at the Tigers or warriors.

 

[myrrh ken]

I know its early days, but just scratching my head as to the lineup.

Back 3 - are sorted I guess
Centres - Ramien is one. Tracey is the other? Can Nikora play there?
Halves - Hynes. I guess Moyza gets first crack
Lock - Toby
2nd row - Wade, Talakai/ Nikora
Hooker - Brailey
Props - BHU, Dale
Bench: McInnes, Hunt, Williams, Nikora/Talakai/Tracey
Reserves: Wilton, Taumoepeau, Pele, Feefs, Trindall, Hiroti

The one place that screams out is centre where we don't have a full timer.

Bit of depth in the forwards

Pressure on Moyza and Brailey.

I don’t think we bought McInnes to play on the bench.

5. Ronny
6. Nicho
7. Tricky

[crazy pineapple]

your onto it glenmore

but i'd go BHU starting with Rudolph on the bench. just to give us a little more impact in the first 20 mins

14. Moylan/Metcalf/Tracey
15. Rudolph
16. Williams
17. Talakai

18. Wilton (wades understudy)

i'd also swap Miller for Tracey if he gets here

Obviously talented , skilled dynamic etc ... But .... he has been swapping and changing codes , formats, teams, rules etc ,and at 28 can he still keep adapting ? Any chronic injury issues ? How's his Hammies ??

I’m hearing his hammies are better than Moyza’s and his hands are better than Pom’s,. .. what more could we want?

Yeah that’d be pretty much my side too. No way Moyza plays over Tricky. Happy for CT to take the 14 over Moyza/Metcalfe if a better centre option develops. Metcalfe can play for the Jets if he commits to the Bro’s…. Barring significant injury. Better to trade him for someone imo.

A Chad style influencer?

 

[R-15-3]

I’m the odd one out.
I don’t see Tricky in our starting 17 in rd1 unless we lose any contracted players or injuries.

Who are your halves?

 

[R-15-3]

Who are your halves?

Hynes then between Moylan and Metcalf if he hasn’t signed somewhere else. Don’t know if it’s the home schooling getting to me but Miller is a Smokey in the half’s. Watched a few interviews clips etc and think we are looking at him as a Center with the possibility of half if he impresses in the off season. Also hasn’t put pen to paper yet
