Kevin Naiqama Set to sign one year deal.

[ism22]

Is Naiqama more of a winger or a centre?

The Kevin I've seen play was. A VERY... VERY athletic dude who could do things others couldn't.

Dunno if his defence or passing were ever much (doubt it) but his tries made lotsa highlight reels. Guess that's my worry! If his athleticism's dipped a little and he's used yo defending Super League players then he could be like Joe Burgess, Ryan Hall, Reece Robinson, Omar Slime Ankle and co (i.e. capable of absolutely killing it overseas but a little bit meh when it comes to NRL games). IMO defence is what bites a lot of people in NRL, and that's my worry with him. Hope I'm wrong!

He will be a star for the bears

At this stage for 2022 the Roosters have 7 Walker 6 keary 5???? 4 Manu 3 ???? 2 Toups & 1 Teddy.
The guys vying for the 3 & 5 spots are Momirovski, Smith, Suaalii, Naiqama & Keighran.
Who knows?
If luck is on his side he will start at 3 if not he will be at the Bears.
I dont know if you watched the SL GF but he played the game of his life, he was on fire maybe Robbo might give him first crack at 3. Anything can happen before kick off next year blokes like Lam, Hutch, Keighran & maybe even Manu might move clubs in the off season.

Thoughts...
- Keighran won't play on the wing
- Is Suaalii ready? (And injury free)
- Will Smith be recovered in time?
- Is that Silktails guy ready for NRL?

Could well be Momirovski at centre and Naiqama on the wing for the first 1/4 or so of the season while others find their feet.

See how we go I s'pose.

Then you factor in Manu (potentially) leaving and it could be like..
1. Teddy
2. Toops
3. Suaalii / Smith
4. Momirovski / Keighran
5. Naiqama / Silktails

The super league sucks and naiqama will be 33 when the season starts this is a shit signing and before anyone mentions the Morris boys they were both still playing at a high level unlike Kevin who played for one of the worst teams in the NRL and then significantly dropped his standard of competition by going to England

Damn. If only the Roosters were aware of these things before they signed him. I guess they thought he was 23 and playing in a better competition than the NRL.

Very sloppy research by the Roosters.

Another Reece Robinson>?

[Bondicigar]

Hel probably go good in better company.
I guess he proved that in the super league

You can't say better company & retirement league in the same sentence.Dead set there would be country League sides that would beat half those hack teams over there.
If St Helens played in NRL they wouldn't even win a game.

Another Reece Robinson>?

Robinson wasn't a bad player though but the 2 years in Rugby(2016/17) must have affected his form - 120 NRL games - 58 tries and 13 goals all up- 4 games for the Chooks for 1 try in 2018.

Ryan Hall says 'ello

He isn't that good

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

In other news Iku has apparently signed with the Sharks. So much for Fitzgibbon not raiding our stocks.

Might make a few on here happy
