From all at Shoalies rugby, we say Hasta luego to our favorite Peruvian milkman Nugget aka Nikko
Nikko has been an integral part of our success this year both on and off the field.
Nikko came to us as an inside centre who had played only a small amount of his football at No 9.
With Sam Watts finalising his touch football commitments at the start of the season, Nikko was given the opportunity at 9 and from there maintained the position through the year.
His aggressive defense and attack around the ruck combined with his sneaky niggling was unquestionably a big part of what saw 2021 as such a successful season for Shoalies.
Off the field he was equally sneaky in the afters. He was always there for a beer or 16 and many was the night that he would finish the festivities at 2am to start milking at 3am.
So to our favorite Peruvian milkman good luck on your journeys. You'll always have a home with us at Shoalies. When you realise that Italy's cows have sloppy tit's in comparison to the perky Nowra friesians , don't be shy to head back south, lace the boot's and finish what we started in 2021.
Cheers bud
Paul
