Official Briton Nikora

[Blix]

Doesn’t look like he is going anywhere….

566k per year

 

[Sharkies_001]

Overs

Overs

Obviously not according to Fitz.

I think the pricing is fair. People forget how young he is because he has played so many games. He is a smart player I just think he is a little on the light side. He will fill out and out on 4-5kg over the next couple of years and will be one of the better 2nd rowers going around.

I've got no fuss that he has decided to stay with us, as a matter of fact I'd prefer him to resign with us, I think he is better then a lot of people tend to think he is. If Fitzzy has decided almost after a few weeks then obviously he rates him highly as much as a few fans may not. I've always liked Nikora & pleased to see he is going to stay with us.

Whilst i do think weve paid overs to keep him, the problem this year is the Dolphins.
Much like SL/ARL war players demaning more $$ cause theres more clubs out there needing to fill rosters.

566 aint bad, i didnt wanna go passed 550 but whatever

Reports were, or according to Brent Read we offered more than the Tigers, which if true, WTF!

Hmm would seem silly that we would need to offer more. Reads either drunk or Nikora’s manager has pulled one over us

I don't believe that, Tigers would have offered more than 566k.

Esp after we stated we weren't going to enter a bidding war for him

 

[Rob]

It’s Tigers PR to stop the “no one wants to come here even for massive overs” talk.
Their offer definitely would of had a 6 in the front of it.

When commenting on the money he is being offered/paid, it probably should be taken in to consideration that there will be a new broadcast deal in 2023, which means a new CBA being negotiated with new salary cap amounts, squad numbers, exemptions and TPA rules.

Saying "he's only worth X" means absolutely nothing unless you have this context. It's not how much they are earning; it is how much of the team's cap hit they are consuming.

Wade Graham making $500k-$600k in 2017 with no exemptions and no TPAs was using up 7-9% of the Sharks' cap. Nikora making $500-600k in 2023 with a developed player allowance and some TPAs might be around 3-4%.

If Nikora is counting for for 3% of the team cap but getting extras to turn up and promote a local barber, tattooist, car dealer, or brothel - good luck to him. I don't care about that money. I only care if his play justifies the 3%.

You had to throw in the brothel there, didn't you?

So do Sharks Members get a discount?

Did you not get the discount card with your membership???

Is it your brothel he’s supporting?
