[quote="Dave K.":1ijits7s]Cross and Nikorima would be good pick ups. But is Nikorima worth more than a one year deal, as he would take up our last quota spot for 2026?[/quote:1ijits7s] Things change but you’d think if Myler and Cartwright wanted Nikorima they’d have moved last season when he was unattached, and like you say he’s going to want a multi year deal. I’ve actually liked the little what I’ve seen of him but he’s had baggage in the past and got a lot less NRL game time then Cust over a much longer period in the lower grades. Not sure he’s worth a quota spot beyond a short term deal. Maybe I’m reading way too much into it but the only thing that makes me think we might have something up our sleeves with a halfback is the wording in Bowers article that we’ve backed away from the Sneyd deal. More then likely just wanting to save face knowing Sneyd not interested, but you never know can’t see anyone else potentially available other then Nikorima and that’s only if the quota exemption is voted through.

[quote="One8six5":2x8t7sju]Can’t see Hull signing Nikorima, the player himself on paper is what we need, running 6, NRL experience, however, he is by all accounts a ‘bad egg’ and wouldn’t be a welcome addition to the culture they are trying to build, Kemp is getting big, big raps in pre season, maybe this is why they’ve stepped back from Sneyd..Sneyd would only be a short term solution at his age now[/quote:2x8t7sju] Is he a bad egg, I know he missed training and went ti a concert, but not heard anything else, alot players make mistakes? Keep is still eligible for the academy, like Charles last year, think he is a year or two off, even as a back up.

With Abdull confirmed perhaps an incoming announcement at 18.00

Abdull seeking another club well I never that just confirms what most of us knew in the first place that his injury was serious but hardly career ending. So now the question will be asked have we a half back lined up or did his idea of returning fit meet with our coaches exacting standards answers on a post card
