Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2976495, member: 1769"] BRISBANE halfback [B]Kodi Nikorima[/B] is facing a fierce battle to retain the Broncos’ famous No. 7 jumper next season. Blindside understands the Broncos have privately discussed using Nikorima in a hooker/super-sub interchange role next season following the recent purchase of rookie Roosters halfback [B]Sean O’Sullivan[/B]. Last month, former NSW hooker [B]Michael Ennis[/B], now a leading expert commentator on Fox Sports, claimed Brisbane could not win a premiership with Nikorima at halfback. His comments caused a stir but have since been vindicated following Brisbane’s 48-18 finals drubbing against the Dragons last week. When Sullivan weighed up signing with the Broncos, the prospect of moving Nikorima to a Mr Fixit utility role was mentioned. Sullivan eventually inked a deal, believing he is a genuine chance of wearing the Broncos’ No. 7 jumper in 2019, but Nikorima will not give up without a fight. While he has his critics, the Kiwi Test utility had an impressive finish to the season and is maturing as a halfback. Nikorima was one of Brisbane’s better players in their Red V rout and has been added to the club’s leadership group with halves partner [B]Anthony Milford[/B]. “They are open with the younger players and it’s good for us to all have a word and say in what happens in meetings,” prop [B]Joe Ofahengaue [/B]said. source: [URL='https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/teams/blindside-latest-nrl-gossip-and-inside-info/news-story/ddb7ca276c87570b7979adc779272b8f']Courier Mail[/URL] [/QUOTE]
