Briton Nikora has revealed how a leg injury left him fearing he could miss Cronulla’s finals charge, after being kept off his feet for two weeks while serving a late-season ban. “I was like, ‘I need to stay fit, and to be fit you’ve got to be playing games or something’. Nikora had previously started in all but two of his 154 NRL games, after becoming an 80-minute player from his debut at the beginning of 2019. “I’m used to playing 80 minutes, so I didn’t know what to expect. “When you’re used to getting bashed up for 80 minutes, if you’re on there for 30, 40 minutes, it feels good.
