David Nofoaluma #164

[jrtiger]

I've always been a big believer that wingers should be young upstarts on minimal coin. I honestly believe we've got too much money tied up on our wings with Nofo and Maumalo. Nofo has done very well for himself and pocketed nearly $2 million from the club due to the 2020 season where he was brilliant in attack.

I'm not saying he deserved that contract but it is absolutely huge dollars for a winger and given his attitude and consistency I can't say he's played to that value at any point aside from the 3 week period before his concussion. it's clear his attitude is deadset hopeless and needs to pull his finger out before the esteemed local junior finds himself playing at a rival club.

Wingers should only be getting that sort of money if they have minimal defensive issues and errors, make 150m per game, and can finish tries. He is only fulfilling 1/3 of those requirements. His running metres have been down since 2020 and he isn't getting any younger or better.

I quite like the things Nofo does on the field especially the dirty hit ups and finishing a try however his attitude seems to be getting more and more out of alignment with what the club requires.I have no real issues with his 500k contract except for the length of it (thank you Lee ) as he still has 3.5 years left on it so moving him on is a very expensive option.
He needs to show much more maturity than he is showing so far

Someone will pay 300k for him...
200k for a couple years to rid the cancer of this side is cheap.
He'd kill it at a side where he actually has to earn his spot.

We'd certainly replace him for 300k - And probably get a younger - Better Winger.

He's not even contributing off field... Which players on overs usually do.

Just on that,Hastings isnt on huge money,however he is contributing on and off the field than some of the other higher paid commodities...
Once again is it the attitude because of being higher paid or is it heart for the club as Hastings and Madge both show at all times...?

 

[Sully]

Noffa use to be one of my favourite players, however his ego grew larger than his contract length.
I will always support my team and players, however he annoyed me with his constant looking at himself in the big screen rather than getting on with the game when we haven't made finals for so long.

Interesting article on Zero Tackle whereby he says " I will see how things are going. I have to be mentally prepared to comeback to First Grade. I'm enjoying playing ( NSW CUP ), They've been fantastic.

He should want to get back to First Grade especially with what he is being paid.

 

[weststigerman]

4 tries and 15 tackle breaks for Samoa tonight.

Our players just play so much better away from Wests Tigers. I’m waiting to see Luciano play like Papali’i at the Cowboys.

 

[Carefactor]

I'm sure there are alot slower premiership halves pairings over the years. Langer and Walters spring to mind

umm no they weren't

Maybe. But they were Langer and Walters. This is Doueihi and Hastings.

Well we can now see why Nofoaluma has disappeared from team discussion.
Good finisher, will be interesting to see how he goes on the end of a different backline.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

The Melbourne backline hasn't looked too flash for the last few months. He'll be playing next to Marion Seve who isn't a great defender. He might go on a run of tries but there's a good chance he continues to struggle in defence. Regardless, it'll be good for him to experience finals football for the first time.

I hope Storm don’t make the finals.

 

[clontarfkid]

Think its the beginning of the end for Nofa at WTs...an opportunity to showcase his considerable attacking talents,with a for sale sign hanging on his back
Crap defensively,and disruptive to team harmony

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

He’s not coming back. You don’t loan a player for a few weeks just for the fun of it.

 

[Cobarcats]

I hope Storm don’t make the finals.

I do because they might keep him and relieve us from his contract.

 

[The SHADOW]

Problem here is , with Noffo this celebrity move would suit him , but it’s not about being a celebrity in the storm system.
he could be gone before he even arrives.
personally I don’t know him, but he seems to be suffering with a DUFTY like symptom .

Nah..Storm paid nothing like that for Coates,who is bigger,faster,good in the air and can defend
Were gonna be subsidising Nofa for quite a while,which providing its reasonable Im glad to get him and his Ferrari out of the joint

he is one bloke I want out of the club
see ya nofo

The guy is a Wests junior who’s played 175 games for our club.

He deserves a little more respect than the fans give him.

I hope he blitzes it with the Storm 👍
