Roosters sign Jayden Nikorima for 3yrs

[Lydon]

Jayden's best position is 7 and can kick goals. He can play 9. The best 7 I have seen in the juniors. He can also play u20s next year as well. Mitchell is not a winger and would be a disaster.

In that case maybe he will be a utility off the bench..Interesting indeed

Aubo is not a centre.

SKD, Elliot and Burgess are in front of him for the centre position anyway.

Whilst I agree it is not his best position, Maubs could easily play centre full time. And I reckon he would improve considerably if he was to play there permanently.

I reckon there would be plenty of teams that would like him as their permanent centre.

If this does indeed happen i'm feeling like this could be our spine for next year.

1. Hastings
6. Nikorima
7. Pearce
9. Friend

I wouldn't mind this at all. I'm not liking the idea of Fergo at fullback next year, and as we know Hastings has played fullback in 20's and for Aus earlier this year, and actually filled in for RTS a few weeks ago when he was taken off.

Thoughts?

He hasn't signed with us and I would be very surprised if he leaves the Broncos.

Horrible spine. No chance Hastings at FB.

How is it that Burgess is ahead of Aubo? Burgess has not played centre.

Burgess is a back.

Aubbo is a fill in back.

Maubs is a decent centre but he should be in the backrow, or on the bench.

Agree Hastings at fullback. Lol

[2026]

Interesting signing.

[Headless Chook]

Watched him in the Origin 20's game. He was easily Qld's best player and they were right in the game un til he got injured. If he does sign, this is a massive coup....he's a lot like Milford in the way he plays

I never thought otherwise. Maubs needs to start in the second row.
Just because someone is a winger does not mean they can play centre.

[Spirit of 66]

Strange that Canavan should be speaking as if he is as good as signed when the Courier Mail is saying the Broncos are confident he will stay:

[The Brain]

This mornings paper say he hasnt put pen to paper and that the Broncos are a chance retaining him??????

Agree. Burgess he is not a good cente and he might not be a very good winger either playing here in the NRL. Its a lot different game here than over there
