Is Nicho really the 5/8 of the team?

[bad boy bubby]

According to the players list on the sharks website he is, and Tricky is the halfback.
Is this the actual view from the coaches, or someone in the website structures who just doesn't know our team at all??

You’re thinking too deeply there BBB.
I bet 5/8 was the role they originally assigned Nicho when he first signed with us and they created the profile. And they haven’t noticed / been arsed to change it since.

Absolutely not.
I saw it, laughed, and wondered if anyone on here would take it seriously.
Oops I just gave up my M.O of chaos and controversy haha.

MIckey taking notwithstanding.....

	Tricky	Nicky
Passes	50	83
Receipts	71	125
Kicks	11	26

While looking at the stats I did pick up on one thing Tricky needs to work on fast. His PTB speed sucks @ an average of 5.33 seconds over the 2 games.

Ok But how does that compare to other 5/8 -- halves ? I guess opposition would be aware of certain players to spend a little more time on.

Tricky straightening up time is slower than mine. It’s also getting harder! He should have a look at Sifa . He has really worked hard on the ‘hit and stand’ aspect of his game. He also has a huge muscle mass to work with. But I think it’s just practice. Also other players around him are ready to back up fast. They know it will be a fast play the ball. This sort of hard work gets us moving when we are pinned in our 10 meter area. If referees would only look at the on coming defence to see how offside they are!

No idea. Wasn't the point. Will be happy to see what you produce though
