Briton Nikora

Should have kept talakai and worked out a way to move Nikora on. Not worth the money he’s on.
Sifa had to be moved on, he is getting up there in years.
That move was right for the 3 parties.

Nikora is a strange one, he would have an amazing highlight reel the angled runs for tries, but he can go missing when we need someone to ruck the ball out, he struggles to put a shift in sometimes

His game has basically been the same since he debuted, great line runner and a few other good highlight reel plays but can be anonymous for large periods of the game. Maybe spending his whole career next to Ramien is part of the reason.

Put a Penrith jumper on him last night and he probably scores 4 tries.

I used Steve Simpson as an example in the match day thread, playing with joey.

Briton can be a weapon but he cannot manufacture what he can do by himself.

He needs his halves to do it.

That's rugby league.

I bet it works at training. He probably goes home with a sore back from putting the ball down over the try line so many times.

Making that happen on game day is that 'next level' teams consistently talk about getting to.

for a while he was a weapon on the kick chase. Would play a shooter role and generally make the first tackle. Would really set line speed. Now it’s gone missing.

I don’t think his contribution warrants guaranteed 80 mins per week. Feed Sifa more time on the edge.

Maybe when Wilton is back we should move Burns to the right and play Nikora at centre. All the good things from his game are still important at centre.

Nikora does not put a shift in, plain and simple.
That is what is expected of a player for time on the field he works hard every play, but he goes missing

Love this idea. I have always thought Nikora would be a great centre! Is very quick off the mark.

Fairly good shift in anyone’s language. But you do you.
No highlights but fairly workmen like

Hmmm who do I pick each and every week? Who is an international player?
