He’s not getting a mention, but I’m really liking what I’m seeing from Nikora. He’s not doing anything too flashy, hasn’t scored the tries he has previously, but he does everything HARD. He runs hard lines right into the guts of the defence and he does it at full speed. His defence, he really tries to hurt blokes, everytime.
And this might only be a small thing, but he consistently runs his line, whether he gets the ball, or is a decoy, he always runs his line as a threat, and importantly doesn’t collide with defenders when he doesn’t get the ball. That real threat is creating space.
