You must have had a different view to me!

Agree he’s a prop though don’t see him as a 13.

Injuries will happen, Stornton is out for 4 months, Vagana has had a few injuries,  Griffin has just returned from one. Nikotemo will get his chance. Competition is no bad thing, and allows us to bring back players when they're ready rather than rushing them back because the options are poor.

Faatili get's better with every game and  I would like to see his contract extended.Think he will fast become a fans favourite with his 'get stuck in' approach.Vagana oozes class, which obviously runs in the family, and looks as though he is set to be a top player.I think, when Nikotemo signed up, the club were touting him as being of a slightly  higher grade than the other overseas signings and a lot was expected of him.Hope that's the case when he returns. 
Re the mention of Shaw,it's a strange one for me.All the time he's been with the club he's been totally off my radar.I don't really have a clue how good he is and the bit I've seen of him he's been just 'ok'

Here's a prediction - when Nikotemo is fit, he will be our best forward!

That's a bold statement if ever I heard one, not going to disagree but I think there's one or two forwards down at the club with a wry grin on their face that might.

Nikotemo reminds me of the Sharks edge forward Briton Nikora ... Looking forward to his return to the field.
