Official Briton Nikora

[Mark^Bastard]

If he did need a rest, it would have been a few rounds ago. I don't see the point in resting him now when we have some crucial games coming up.

How many plays has Wade made down the right? Nikora is a right edge back rower doing a bloody good job in his first year.

Nikora has been amazing for his first year.

Bro, he needs a rest as in he needs the season to end.

I'm not saying replace him, i'm saying its a long year for a rookie to keep up the intensity week in week out.

 

[slide rule]

You could probably start Capewell and just reduce Nikora’s minutes for even a week or so.

Reducing the load rather than outright resting him might freshen him up.

I'm fine with that.

Or we just give him a pass if he's not 100% involved for the whole 80 minutes in his first season. As long as he defends okay and takes a hitup when the ball comes that way, I don't care if he doesn't go looking for work.

he put some shots on yesterday

I agree.... He is important, Im surprised Morris hasn't given him a rest or some time on the bench just to freshen up.

Lately he looks like a one trick pony in regards to his running .. he looks hella tired some games, give him some minutes on the bench, let the body charge up so he can be more of a weapon come finals.

Its Nikoras choice to sit on SJs shoulder

It’s his ****ing job to sit off his shoulder tbf.

Mmm they should both recognise holes and exploit them but Nikora should be looking for the ball, not just be fed the ball from SJ

 

[Milkshark]

Nikora will turn into Gavin cooper if he relies on SJ to do everything for him

 

[Tiger Shark]

How do you know he's not getting a rest. I think most rested players get it during the week on their training load. The players don't want a week off from playing.

What drugs are you on?

Where’s he supposed to go? He’s an edge backrower, he stays exactly there - on his edge. The playmakers find him, not the other way around.

300 games with a strike rate of a try every 4 games?

I’ll take it

Yep its not the best comparison.

My point was mainly he totally relies on Thurston

 

[Milkshark]

Did zero

 

[snowman]

Did zero

Agreed

But check the stats of the left edge (chad, wade, bronny, katoa) compared to the right

 

[Jaz]

Did zero

29m. Very ordinary.

 

[Milkshark]

Agreed

Did nothing in attack or defence, he may as well have stayed home.
