What about vals shoulder charge on the titans winger while scoring a try... i think nikora was hard done by.

I was concerned with brits preseason games, but he has been awsome so far. I love the fact he was arguing to be let back on the field.

Can someone please explain why him, wade and kennedy weren’t allowed back onthe field, yet woodsy was allowed to play the whole game with blood pouring out of his melon...

External bleeding isn't a symptom of concussion. Woods obviously showed none of the signs and passed and on field assessment if given one.
The real question is how Sivo managed to pass and get back on. He looked way worse than out three.

Are the tests still conducted by club staff or independent doctors? It seems unlikely whoever kept our three off would pass him.

Shoulder chargers in a try saving situation are acceptable.
Just ask Billy Slater (He used to play for the Storm)!

Nikora didn't make my suggested team at the start of the year, he's even further out of my hypothetical team!

I would still say he is playing better than last year though...

4 runs and 5 missed tackles

what a game

Nikora started the season quite well but he is well and truly behind Wilton now and Talakai for that matter

he's always reliable for an error or two that stifles our momentum

**** me he needs to improve.

shouldn't have to rely on another player for him to do well.

They said in the coverage something like 4 runs 23m at one stage. Voss brought it up a few times questioning why we weren't getting him into the game.

37% possession probably didn't help. and most of that was coming out of our own red zone

we struggle get out of our red zone this year.

the top teams seem to do it with ease.

we rely on our backs to start our sets from our end as much or as more than any team - the problem is they are often finishing those sets off as well before we have a forward onside or has enough gas in the tank to put their hand up for a run. In addition that same back line that has to do so much work out of our end is regularly stuck together with the duct tape of players being played out of position (forwards and utilities) and depth players

His worst play wasn’t even captured by the stats. The Burton try should never have been scored. When Luai take on Johnson Nikora just stops instead of doing his job and covering across. Awful.

The guy can run a line, and his work rate is great. Defence is just not up to NRL standard though.

Agreed

Teig starting at second row averages 107m (which is massively negatively impacted by only 89 vs Roosters but he also did 50+ tackles).
His average running meters all games is 145m.

Briton starting at second row (every game he has played) averages 82m, or 90m if you don't count the Eels game he played 20 minutes.

Even bashed up Wade is 85m or 99.5m if you only count games he has played 80 (all four of them).

Do some tough stuff Briton you cat
I'm sure Woods or Tolman would be happy to dish you a ball if you ran with them at some pace
