Toughest man ever to play for the Sharks. No argument.

[blacktip-reefy]

Tawera Nikau
Many tough guys have had matched it on the field, Gav, Bundy etc but nobody comes close to his off field life bravery & outlook.

Nikau - What a man

 

[andrew flap]

no contest there. Shark royalty.

Only regret is he went to Melbourne and didn't stay with us.

Any ideas on how he is doing after his accident ?

He's trying to get into the Paralympic squad I read somewhere?

Shot put?

Hell, he'd nail it.

Another legend that has been doing it tough with no complaint is Greg Pierce.

Yes, absolutely.

BUT the original Greg Pierce, not the half-wit that currently gets paid $120K per year to place out the witches hats at training...

Just thought I'd better make that clear.

I saw somewhere he is going to box one of the Ropatis in a charity gig in NZ. He's also coaching in the Bartercard cup. U often c him on fox televised warriors games.

 

[Sharkie Army Gorilla]

he was awesome one of the best ive seen, loved to watch him play

 

[tUp]

[Sheros los Deros]

Great player. Sounds like hes got a postive attitude towards adversity. Got to admire that.

Steve Kneen. For my money 2nd , Les Davidson.

T was a legend. Made a good pizza too.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Had the pleasure of havin a night out with him(he tagged along with us after a few beers at the Coolum surf club up here before the 99 season)

I gave him a bit of shit for leavin the Sharkies and he could have got upset with me cuase we were all pretty wasted, but he was the friendliest bloke just laughed along with all our pathetic drunken jokes.

Great bloke ....


Hats off!!

 

[imasharkie]

My moneys on the sorrenson boys. they gave the sharks plenty of years service.

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

ima did you listen to the interview?

I don't think it was meant to start a competetion, rather to give respect to T - which he rightfully deserves.

I've linked it here again in case you missed the first one. There were some dramas with it.

 

[imasharkie]

righto greggo i look at it later

 

[SadShark]

Was a tough player. Yes Reefy, Miller and Davidson were my other picks along with Greenhill and Cliff Watson. It's a pity Nikau had to leave the Sharks to win a premiership, as do all others if they want one.

The Sharks are quite happy to make up the numbers and not chase the glory.
