Not going to lie, I’m a bit worried about Niukore at the moment. At first I thought he was just taking his time coming back from injury but he still hasn’t looked impressive, you could argue that we won’t be using him as a second rower as he is coming to do the Frizell role as a rotation prop, but I still want to see a lot more.
Last night against the Sharks he played over 40+ minutes and yet only had 6 runs for a weak 41 metres, now another argument is he already has one foot out of the door and to that I say disgusting, I hope that’s not the case as it shows a lot about his character and it’s one I don’t want in this team.
If he doesn’t pick it up drastically I don’t see what he provides that Hola and Crouch couldn’t and it would just be a waste of money.
As of right now after watching Niukore closely I’d be re-signing Frizell to a 1 year deal with a mutual for a second year.
