Official Briton Nikora

Dunno if Nikora/Flanno is necessarily a super strong connection

 

[Bundy Shark]

Article saying Dragons front runners due to Flanagan connection. Id say we are front runners given current club. I think if Fitz wants him, we keep him. Unless it came down to $, noones worth paying too much for, especially in a league littered with quality 2nd rowers.

Hypothetical:

Id Nikora were to leave, whod be happy to see a return of Jack Bird? Was always destined to be a 2nd rower. Has utility value across the back line and halves in emergency situations also. Right dollars and with a decent bill of health i wouldnt say no.

But i reckon hea gunna shop to highest bidder wherever that is (Dolphins)

Jack Bird probably gunna stay cause of the Flanagan connection

I definitely would but like you said, he'll want too much.

Bird over Nikora, yes

 

[CrazyMatt]

Bird over Nikora, yes

Hmm dunno about that. If it were me I’d wait until we see Nikora and Bird in the season proper this year to make that call. Bird’s injury history will always worry me.

 

[The Punisher]

Nikora is the best 'line running' 2nd rower in the comp in my opinion- always has been.
It was his defence which let him down last season for me.
But from what ive seen so far hes out a bit of muscle on and is hitting and sticking in tackles
If he keeps that up its a no brainer.

Yep. His play with the ball has never been the problem.

Will it help his reads in defence though?

I'll also say Cordner was the best line runner before his retirement, Nikora is good at it though, not denying that.

Probably a Tele article

I don’t think that really matters. Flanno was the boss when the Sharks recruited Nikora, and in 2018 Nikora was in the NRL top 30 training with Flanno all season. Flanno was also the coach for the 2019 pre-season.

Flanno resigned on 20 January 2019, so Nikora was in “Flano’s system” for more than 3 years, and for roughly 15 months of that time Flanno was his coach.

I get the nostalgia with Bird, but for mine i'd stick with the Whipping boy as preferable, if possible.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Mr Whippy

 

[Gards]

I'm pleased Nikora has stated he's keen to stay with us & he'd never heard about the Tigers link. Other fans may dislike him but I like Nikora a lot, he's not as bad as certain fans think he is. Hynes might make him rather impressive with a few inside balls.
