Nik Cox

After four seasons, the Bombers need to establish which part of the ground the 23-year-old is best suited to. Is he a wingman, a forward or a defender? The injury-prone utility needs to be settled in one part of the ground by the coaching staff as quickly as possible. He might have signed a new two-year deal but has not reached the same heights as 2021 when he burst onto the scene.
