  • Jayden Nikorima

    I understand he is a young player and still learning the pace of the game but I think we can try a Todd Carney style position switch and place him at Fullback. Fill free to disagree and roast but his try against Canberra shows he has real pace and is willing to attack the line. We can move Mitchell into the wing/centre next to SKD to fill up the space Copley has left.

    He's going OK , improving.
    he made 26 tackles vs the Cowboys , he's getting sorted out in defence , lets wait and see how he goes when our forwards play for 80 minutes.

      I would rather leave him where he is as he has a lot of potential and he is proving it... I think he may be better when Pearce comes back whether Robbo goes with him or not. I think he will be really influential as a utility player, like a Craig Wing.

      Early in the season, keep him where he is to gain the experience..

        Any improvement will come from a change of attitude. Forget building our game. Start well and with intent then try to maintain it.

        I'd leave Niko in the halves and have SST defend along side him.

        Guerra bench with Elliot replacing the injured Copley.

          Interesting concept. He has played there before in the junior Kangaroos. It would expose Latrell to a lot more defence, which may nullify is attack though. One issue would be the highball though, he ain't Muggsy Bogues...

            Latrell must be fullback...with Fitzy coaching him how to kick goals [and soon].
            Nikorima is a 6 or 7.
            When Pearce returns either Hastings or Nikorima must go to the bench.

              Great suggestion - do you have Robbo's number???

                I tend to think his goal kicking may improve with his conditioning. Currently his kicks get worse as the game progresses as he tires, mind you he never had a shot against the Cows !

                  Surely you can't be serious.... And no I won't stop calling you surely.

                  Would destroy the kids confidence playing him there.

                  Lattrell Mitchell will be one of the games top fullbacks over the next few years.

                        Niko is getting smashed and you can see it effecting his confidence.

                        I think Robbo needs to move him to the bench for both his sake and also the teams.

                        It's time we put Cornish in to provide some structure. Whilst not ideal and in no way am I advocating this long term but it's time we try something else as the halves are getting destroyed and providing no spark/direction.

                        Cornish is the only other option we have available to us as Watson is even greener than Niko.

                          Cornish is rubbish. I would prefer to persevere with what we have than have somebody in the team who is just not up to NRL standard and never will be.

                            Imagine Niko under the high ball, with a stampede of big attackers hurtling towards him!

                            NO thanks. Due to genetics alone, it's just the halves or the bench utility role for Niko.

                              I don't think where as fit as the other 15 teams which isn't helping our cause.

                              Perhaps tactical to avoid peaking too early.
