LET THE GAME BEGIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to be fair to Lily, people are entitled to change their minds too. She's perfectly entitled to decide it wasn't the right time for her and her family to be in the UK and it's also perfectly within her rights to decide that going back to the UK is fine 12 months later. We've got to remember the effects of covid, that affected an awful lot of people in the UK mentally will have been compounded several times over for someone from outside the UK. That time was awful for everyone and I don't blame them for wanting to go back to Australia at that point, it's a totally understandable reaction.
Whatever the reasons are is irrelevant really. Kev was fantastic for us and was a big part of our success. He should get a heros reception when he comes back to the Totally Wicked, like Lee Gilmour did.
I'll be interested to see where Naiqama plays for Huddersfield. Played full back for Fiji, wing for Roosters, centre/wing for us. Watson has stated he wants to keep Cudjoe and Leutele plus they've got King already.
Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
Well done Huddersfield, I never saw that coming. A big fan of Naiqama from his first try to his last, hope he gets a great reception when he returns.
An outstanding player and bloke, I wish him every success with whatever he decides to do. How any Saints fan can make any other comment is beyond me, the guy gave his all and always performed in the big games.
Plus they have McGillvary too of course. For me, I'm surprised Huddersfield have signed Naiqama. His best years are behind him and respectfully, that's true of most of their backs- I look at there threequarters and think where's the strike? I think that's an area were they fall down.
*Not to be confused with Mike Stephenson, MBE
So taking his wife’s wishes and emotions into account before making life-changing decisions is equal to her ‘putting pressure on him’? Imagine being on the other side of the world and having a baby alone, with covid and your husband in the car park and imagine how that might affect your mental health. You said ‘money talks’ but perhaps Kevin and his wife talk and work out the best decisions for their family. Your friend has their opinion of his wife and has imparted the same to you. That’s all it is, an opinion. Nobody but Kevin and his wife know the truth behind their decision-making.
Naiqama was a very special player for us and came up with some brilliant Tries.
If he and his family now feel in a better position to return to the UK and super league then all the best too them. He's earned it.
Look forward to seeing him next season when Hudds come to town.
