VOTE Position Poll - Kodi Nikorima

[Super Freak]

7 or bench. We've seen what happens when he's at fullback, the opposition put up the high ball all night, and considering he's one of the shortest players in the Nrl he hardly wins the contest.

I think you're thinking of another player, because Kodi Nikorima did quite well under the high ball at fullback.

He saved our ass against the Panthers stopping Edwards from scoring who is taller than him.

He was only exposed in that regard when he was forced to play wing against the Storm. He's been excellent at fullback.

So you don't think he'll be exposed under the high ball at fullback and won't have any dramas defending if someone breaks the line?

Can't be any worse than Boyd.

Lol! Poor old Boyd

Nope. He handled it well when filling in for Boyd, and he's no worse than 80% of fullbacks in regards to defence. He's all heart so he puts his body on the line, which is all you can ask for.

Fair enough mate. I can't see Boyd being moved to be honest, but if Nik dose get put to fullback I hope he proves me wrong

Watching a few games from this season, Kniko is such a fantastic little player. I say give him the 7 but he needs some quality D around him, move Roberts to left centre and put Bird on the right with Gillette. Both quality defenders and always on to help with defence, Kahu is great too.

 

[M.B.88]

Nikorima has earned a chance to make the 7 his own for 2018. Wish people would give up the Ash Taylor fantasy, Titans are throwing too much money at him and Garth is just the nail in the coffin.

You a betting man?

He didn't do too badly in the line. Didn't get exposed as much as Milford I thought.. I'd say all he needs is a preseason in the role. Give him that first

Bench utility in Bronco colours or HB for the North's Devils. I think it's fairly evident to everyone that he isn't capable of anything greater than this.

You do know he is pretty much a certainty to start the season as the Broncos halfback don't you?

Also a certainty not to finish there despite there being no such thing as certainties in RL.

Ash Taylor now confirmed at Titans. Go Kodi, the kid bleeds Bronco.

 

[Rellum]

I would leave him at half back. But I get the feeling Benny will end up playing him on the bench and Bird will play as the right sided play maker.
