There have been a few players that have undeservedly been given the title of "Legend" by some fans. This bloke is the real deal and a proper legend. I wish we could somehow get him to at least visit Cas again so we can shake his hand again and introduce him to the younger Cas fans.

It'd be great to have him at Castleford again.

I think Nikau's story would be a great film but to find the right actor to play him is the problem but I think there is a Kiwi called Temeura Robinson ( not sure about the surname ) who might be able to. Just don't let Mickey Rourke near it.

I think The Rock has a look of T in his prime,he would be a good shout.

As all has said what a fantastic player he was and an inspirational human being

One of my all time favourite cas players - always gave his all. Wonder if he's free to open the new colliseum next season?!!

What a top bloke T is

When i read stories like this it makes me very proud of our great game

Re: Nikau : Tue Mar 01, 2011 9:07 pm  

Legend is a term that people use too easily, however this is one man who can certainly fit into the description... A true legend, hero and above all a wonderfully generous human being. Wish i could attend the game just to do my bit to raise money and to see this guy play once again

Top stuff.

To put it simply, and perhaps not so eloquently: balls you could fire from a cannon.

This guy is my personal hero.

Complete Legend

I will echo the thought that a far better film would be 'T's life story than that of Mr Thomas.
Inspirational and if you watched him play you know he is a Legend by the way you go misty eyed at the thought...

Re: Nikau : Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:26 am  

the biggest compliment to Nikau, is he lives his life as he played his game - without fear, open and honenst and as a leader to all men!

and yes you are right, i would much rather watch a film about the life of a propper hero than that waste of space GT.

he is one of the reasons why i support Cas!!

My all time favourite Cas player, loved the bloke, even when he was a Wire.
