JAYDEN Nikorima is ready to take another Salford stepping stone as he reaps the rewards of his sliding doors moment.

The half back is only at the Red Devils because he was sacked by Catalans for going to a gig after telling the club he was ill.

But he could end up where they will not, in the play-offs – which will be sealed with a win at Hull FC today.

And showing they can do it away from home will definitely not be the end of something for Paul Rowley’s side, it will be the start of a mission to stun everyone and win Super League.

They will need to as they are not going to make the top two, meaning an away semi-final if they get there.

Nikorima said: “Making the play-offs isn’t the end of something, it’s the start of something. 100 per cent.

“We’ve a good crew here and a few of us are staying around for a while too, so hopefully we can keep building and go deep into the finals.

“It’s exciting times, the club’s moving in the right direction too. These are stepping stones towards us becoming a top two club.

“And on the pitch, it comes down to consistency. We’re really good at home but we’ve fallen off on away trips and last week’s win over Catalans counts for nothing if we don’t back it up.”

Half back Nikorima, 27, has slotted in at Salford and scored one of the tries as the Red Devils got one over his former club.

Now life is pretty sweet after his own mistake left him out of a job.

He added: “That was a good one. I had that match in the calendar for a while and it got a little bit personal out there.

“I liked the club and I wish I could’ve stayed in France longer but as one door closes, another door opens and I feel like I’m reaping the rewards.

“It’s been a great move for me.”

STARGAZERS are in for a double delight next week as September’s supermoon coincides with a partial lunar eclipse.

The rare twin event is set to occur on the evening of September 17, and into the morning of 18 September.

This lunar eclipse will be a slight one, experts have cautioned[/caption]

The September full moon is known as the Harvest Moon, and is named for its proximity to the autumn equinox.

It will also be a supermoon, the second of four consecutive supermoons in 2024.

The moon travels around Earth in an elliptical orbit – an orbit that is oval shaped.

This means that there are points where the moon appears closer to Earth, and further away.

“Each month, the moon passes through the point closest to Earth (perigee) and the point farthest from Earth (apogee),” Nasa explains.

“When the moon is at or near its closest point to Earth at the same time as it is full, it is called a “supermoon.””

This is when the moon appears particularly large and bright.

On top of that lunar spectacle, there will also be a partial eclipse.

This lunar eclipse will be a slight one, experts have cautioned.

Earth’s shadow will only appear on the upper side of the satellite, which is known as the umbra.

Most of the lunar disk will be in Earth penumbra, the lighter portion of the shadow.

Where and where to see the display

The double display will be visible in Europe, South America, Africa and most of North America.

But the majority of Asia and Oceania will miss out.

The partial eclipse will begin at 3:12am BST on 18 September, and end at 4:15am BST.

While the penumbral eclipse can be seen earlier at 1:41am BST and end at 5:47am BST.

NICK Knowles is set to walk down the aisle for the third time after finding love with underwear boss Katie Dadzie.

The pair both have very busy schedules and it’s set to get even more hectic when the 60-year-old starts Strictly Come Dancing.

Nick Knowles has spoken about how he keeps the romance with Katie alive[/caption]

But Nick knows exactly how to keep the romance alive as they juggle family life and work.

The DIY SOS star shares four children with three different women, while Katie is also a mum of two.

Talking about the secret to their relationship, Nick told Closer: “We try to do some amazing trips – we’ve just come back from Dubai which was fantastic.

“And we like to treat ourselves with overnight stays at Home House. It’s a members’ club in London and you don’t need to be a member to stay there. The rooms are beautiful. It’s almost like a museum because it’s so stunning.”

Katie added: “Nick is definitely a romantic. He cooks lovely dinners for me, something that he’ll know I really like, especially when I’m not feeling great.

“We always have a date night where we’ll pick a really great restaurant. We also love hotel stays and nice holidays!”

Earlier this year Nick opened up about wedding plans and admitted they hadn’t got round to organising anything yet.

Nick told The Sun: “Not yet. Still haven’t decided. Still thinking about it.

“I’ve been away too much with all the travel shows I’ve been doing. Katie’s been very busy with the company.

“And as that gets busier, the time to be able to find, to disappear for a week in the schedule gets more and more difficult.”

Katie and Nick have been together since 2021 and met when Katie’s daughters befriended Nick’s youngest lad Eddie, eight, at a play centre.

Katie was accused of being a “gold digger” by internet trolls when the pair went public with their relationship.

But Nick has insisted lingerie firm boss Katie was “wealthier and more successful” than him.

Nick proposed to Katie last July whilst he was filming in the US.
