Yeah thanks for the head to head.Just having a quick look at numbers for last year on Nikorima and SJ, makes for some interesting reading.
Nikorima - 10 line breaks, 10 line break assists, 9 tries, 9 try assists, 17.6 tackles avg per game, 2.6 missed per game, 100 kicking meters a game.
SJ - 7 line breaks, 11 line break assists, 4 tries, 14 try assists, 17.5 tackles avg per game, 3.6 missed per game, 220 kicking meters a game.
Significantly more try assists and kicking meters, and slightly more missed tackles for SJ, but more tries and line breaks to Kodi, with the rest of the stats prettt even.
I know stats aren't everything, but if we're paying half as much for Kodi, then it's a pretty good deal imo.
SJ will have been more deliberately targeted by the oppositions best runners since he is the Warriors (Was).
Same for Try assists, they really didnt know how to play without all the focus running through him either.
Kodi's line breaks reflect his taking the line on.
To my way of thinking it is a brilliant signing whether you rate Kodi or not.
Value wise, and the fact they managed finally to pinch a key player mid season is huge for the Warriors.
