RL:Uncontracted maverick helps hot Dolphins tame Tigers

Kodi Nikorima has continued his sales pitch for a new NRL contract after piloting an undermanned Dolphins side to a seventh-straight NRL win by defeating Wests Tigers 36-22.

Without regular halves partner Isaiya Katoa and with State of Origin stars Selwyn Cobbo, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Max Plath and Tom Flegler rested, Nikorima stepped up to the plate on Saturday to keep the Dolphins in the hunt for a top-four berth.

Partnered with Brad Schneider in the halves, Nikorima had two try assists and bagged a four-pointer of his own at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Saturday afternoon as Kristian Woolf's side continued their record run of wins.

New Zealand international Nikorima remains unsigned beyond this season with the Dolphins already having committed to Katoa and English international George Williams, who will join the Redcliffe-based side next year.
