Official Briton Nikora

[BurgoShark]

The Cowboys didn’t throw much at his edge but he defended well and came out of his own end well too. Best game of the year for him IMO.

Massive hit on Scott was it?

Yep, creamed him.

Running those lines like a cat. Needs to run harder.

He was crap tonight, got hurt early and never recovered

Talking about hurting his ankle on Thursday Nikora referred to it as just a niggle he’s had through the season.

Wonder if it’s been a factor contributing to his form going down a bit after the first few rounds

Still smashed their pack and covered lots of ground in defence , carrying the injury .VERY IMPRESSIVE , he has the real Sharks Spirit .
Hopefully gets a few games rest when Wade gets back

It’s his first year, he’ll be right. I’d be giving him less minutes for the rest of the season, like we used to with Lewis. Sub him for Capewell a bit, rather than getting him to play 80minutes each game. It would sharpen him up, and get Capes on the field.

Needs a break.

Really has had no impact for a while now. Does not seem to run with any purpose.

He relies super heavily on SJ putting him through a hole, every teams knows it and waits for it.

They know it and just like Lafai did jammed in to many times and got burnt by the back door pass to Moylan.

so sj needs to dummy and go himself or go out the back

he doesnt need a break, we need to go back to early season when we didnt use him as a battering ram

Its Nikoras choice to sit on SJs shoulder

 

[snowman]

its sj's choice to keep giving him the ball

if he went inside we'd just moan about that as well

 

[Milkshark]

Sure I agree its SJs to throw him the ball.

But Nikora is soley placed on SJs shoulder, he needs to add to his game and roam the field. I honestly cannot remember him ever taking a run on left side of the field.

I liken him to Luke Lewis, except Lewis was everywhere.

OK without watching the replay again a quick recall off the top of my head prior to the Feki try would be 2-3 maybe 4 plays where SJ picks up Brit short or as lead runner for a block play (even the commentators call for Lafai to stop jamming in) Sharks set up in the same shape to the right possibly with an extra player... I can't recall do they run a double block or do they run with a dummy runner? either way end result Lafai jammed in on lead runner if I'm wrong and its not Nikora then its Dugan? But I'm not wrong that SJ short or inside to Nikora as the first option is creating room for the back runner of the block play!!!

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.
