Seen the Best of Nicho

[2012....Sharks Year]

Every good team needs 3 good halves or in our case 4 good halves/fullbacks. Nice problem to have once Nicho is right. At least now Nicho's origin aspirations should be done and dusted. Messed with him both this year and last.

Yep, and as our million-dollar signing and his 3rd year as our premier half, this is not a good sign. Missed a kick from the sideline and missed a sitter f/g right in front. Both would have probably got us the 2 points as we had the ascendency in both games imo. This is what you sign these players for, not to get the yips and stumble about while you regain your mojo.

I’ve been saying all week to my two sons - “We don’t need Nicho” - they thought I’d lost it…!

Obviously, Nicho AT HIS BEST will be awesome, but I’m not sure we’re going to see that this year.

Let’s hope 2025 is a good year for him.

Nicho will bounce back. It is written.

Have faith.

I agree, Quigs. I see the next eight weeks as a shootout to see who partners him when he returns.

He will. I'm not buying into the weak mentally narrative any longer. I think he's been in a simple slump. It happens.

Nicho will be fine. I think it is more of who do we go with DA or Trindall. DA is super direct. Trindall we give the same responsibilities too when Nicho is there but he doesn't look as good.

Needs to be atko whether nicho will be fit enough to partner him

trindall and hynes are both far superior players to atko but they can’t play together

Bloke in a bar believes that this is the issue.

They were debating:

1. Nicho & Atko combo
2. Trindall 7, Nicho 6

Also, they floated:
For 2025:
7. Tricky
6. Atko
1. Nicho

I don’t mind the idea.

Trindall 7, Nicho 6.
If DA plays it’s as fullback.

Trindall needs to get his hands on the ball more, and be the dominant half. I know Nicho’s the “marquee” player, but you could argue the same for Munster at the Storm. He just hangs back and picks his moments, leaving the bulk of it to Hughes. Why not these two?

I had a quick look at stats for “receipts” and it seems when Nicho and Tricky play together Nicho has upwards of 60 a match and Tricky around 40.

That was reversed for Tricky and DA and I’d argue went a fair way towards the team playing more direct.

I’d like to see the same thing happen when Nicho and Tricky play together.
