Nice change to see a bloke improve after signing a long-term deal.
Hynes and him are really striking up a combo. I think maybe Kennedy being out has forced that a little.

Playing like a bloke that knows he dodged a bullet by not ending up at the Tigers
His trys were great but his defense was down on his norm
Good to know we can get some points through playing to him again though

Didn't notice that. Thought he was energetic and putting solid contact in.

he was really great tonight. Very happy for him and he is still very young.

Credit where it's due. You certainly did stick by him. I was happy to see the back of him and he has well and truly shown he can be worth his contract.

Yeah same boat here, I've been very critical in the past. Killing it now which is great to see.

Nikora is progressively getting better. He's a much better player than he was a year ago. He also seems to have cleaned up the dumb angry stuff when he gave big penalties away. May be wrong, but I sense that Fitz has been a big part of keeping him better focused.
He used to have that with SJ. Went downhill after he left. Maybe he'll get that again with Hynes.

Nice article here but I think the writer is drawing a long bow when he says Wade does the same work on the left.

Hat-trick hero Nikora no longer the Sharks' secret weapon
Sharks back-rower Briton Nikora is no longer one of the NRL’s best kept secrets. Scoring three tries in a victory that secures your team second spot, a club record-equalling 18 wins for the season, and a home qualifying final will generally do that.

I think he meant “use to” do the same work on the left.Nice article here but I think the writer is drawing a long bow when he says Wade does the same work on the left.

I think it’s Nikora’s new haircut.
I'd had quite a few beers when I posted this and must have been in the mood to court some controversy
Definitely had a better season but seems to have kicked up a level since the extension.
Probably his most impressive stretch since debut year.
Keep it up Briton, playing well out there.
How many weeks ago did you type this comment?
Briton was a perfect fit for SJ but a victim of the fact SJ only wanted to chime in 20 minutes a game.

Went downhill after SJ left? Am I forgetting something, didn't SJ play last season? Maybe he'll get it again with Hynes?

Feels like the big difference with Nikora's line running now is that it's not so orchestrated. Teams could see the setup with SJ a mile away after a few games and all but shut it down for the rest of the season. Now, he and Nicho seem to sync really quickly when the play is on and defences don't have the chance to adjust. The two of them together looked really slick against the Knights.
I'll stand by my comments, if I wanted your opinion I would've farted *******
Seems like a forum is not the place for you then, and your flatulence must be worse than you’re letting on
So you really are a dumb ****, I said "if I wanted your opinion I would've farted *******"
My flatulence obviously didn't come in to it. Is English your 2nd language?
Get over yourself wanker.
I don’t want to be here, he just won’t stop farting!
