FLANO EYES SHARKS RAIDS

Shane Flanagan brought Briton Nikora to the Cronulla Sharks as a Kiwi rookie and Holden Cup player back in 2016.

Six years later Flanagan is keen on signing him again – this time in his new role as the recruitment boss of the St George-Illawarra.

The 24-year-old Kiwi international is off contract at the end of the season and has already spoken to his New Zealand Test coach Michael Maguire about switching to the Wests Tigers.

The Dragons are also interested. Much will depend on Jack Bird’s future. Bird is looking at other options after rejecting the Dragons’ offer for a new deal worth around $500,000-a-season.

The Sharks want to keep Nikora but are reluctant to get into a bidding war with rival clubs. He played particularly well in the trial against the Bulldogs last week.

I would assume back row given they are losing Pap and probably Matterson.

They have lost Pap and Niukore so I do agree with you that he probably will be signed to play second row if he does go to Parra, but unless they intend on keeping both Lane and Cartwright I think they’ll make at least some offer for Matterson not many clubs will take him

Unless their stance has changed, Parra aren’t even offering Matterson a new contract.

Where did Niukore go, Warriors? For this season do you know? He would've been a great pick up for us, he was solid as a rock last season playing out of position in the centres, he could've filled a big hole for us there. Not sure on his attack as a centre though but was a gun in defence.

I haven’t heard anything official from Parra about Matterson so at this stage he seems to be on the outer, he could be gone after this year but if he is don’t know which club would be willing to take him only club that might come sniffing would be Dolphins given they don’t have many players their yet

The problem with Matterson is two fold. He’s got too many concussion issues, and he’s a proven prima donna. Remember when our club released Corey Thompson? Matterson was long gone by then, yet got on Twitter and took a shot at how bad Thompson was treated. Then just late last year he come and said he has no ill will towards the club. It’s like he was trying to repair his bridges because he knew that he’d be looking for a contract soon.

Yeah I do remember that I also remember the interview he did saying that Ivan was sorry he kept him at the Tigers and he just laughed so I highly doubt Tigers would be willing to take him back, and as you said concussions have become a major factor for him not manly teams are gonna be willing to sign a player that keeps getting them maybe he won’t even be in the NRL after this year
