Briton Nikora tests NRL market amid interest from PNG Chiefs

Briton Nikora, a second-rower for the Cronulla Sharks, is negotiating his future as he assesses offers from other clubs, including the PNG Chiefs. Currently off-contract at the end of 2027, he joins teammates William Kennedy and Teig Wilton in exploring his market value. The Sharks are considering their salary cap situation, which may impact their ability to retain Nikora. The Chiefs, needing to strengthen their forward pack for the 2028 season, are preparing a tax-free offer for Nikora, who has consistently performed in the NRL with over 20 games in most seasons. His potential signing would allow the Chiefs to save salary cap space while fulfilling their roster requirements.
