I can’t believe what I am reading on this forum , u want to trade joffa and keep a reserve grader , and what happens when we get 2-3 injuries is seyfarth going to win us games with his no metres and average defence . I give up we got rid of nearly all the dead wood forwards who got us a wooden spoon and people want to get rid of our best forward last year

I actually thought Nofo was pretty good down there, even defensively

Goodish, definitely not Great.
I saw Melbourne concede some tries on his wing that just wouldn't happen there normally.

I am not going to hate on Nofo, he can cross the line and he can score. I haven't seen him botch too many tries either. It's just as a defender he isn't totally onboard.

100% this. The idea of punting a legitimately good forward for one who is two years older and basically unwanted goods... jeez. I'm glad some of these people aren't responsible for recruitment.

Mitchell Pearce's performances have never been better the Brooks. He has consistently played worse then Brooks while having much stronger players (forwards in particular) around him.

He is the most one dimensional halfback to have a long career the game has ever seen. Brad Fittler at over 40 completely embarrassed Pearce at training one day. While training as a defender, Fittler predicted every move Pearce was making and either intercepted the ball, knocked the ball down or easily covered Pearce and his outside runner. Apparently it was very embarrassing.

People think Pearce is better then Brooks because he barks orders, but his actual play is pathetic.

That’s hilarious.
Pearce has led his team to a grand final win and plenty of final series, played SOO and just about every other rep team except for Australia.
Brooksy …. nah. 🤣🤣🤣

I would cut Joffa too if it meant you could bring a subsidised Nathan Brown in to the side and keep seyfarth for depth.
Is Joffa a 13 ? don't think he can ball play enough for Sheens
Is Joffa a Prop ? Don't think he is big enough for prop as far as metres go compared to say Stef and Klemmer

Potentially throw some remaining cash at upgrading a younger player,

We would still have
Pole
Twal
matamua
Simpkins

all still available

You clearly have zero clue!!

Joe has been our stand-out by miles as a leader - player and ambassador for the club!

Dumbest suggestion ever!

I reckon Laurie is in his sights for a shift to halves with Staines taking over at fullback. To me the ideal for 23 would be Laurie at half, Brooks 5/8, Mamalou and Nofo wing, Doueihi centre with Naden and Staines fullback. Then course if we could jag Moses for 23 who knows, as earlier discussed some potential of backline trades with Parra................

A wicked thought just flew across my mind- what if Parra want Papalii for Moses in 23?

A wicked thought - or a drug induced brain fart??

A coach with around a 40% Win rate,
And a Player with not much better win rate
- Who played 90% of his career in a team noted to be defensively poor,
suggests to me neither would be a lock to teach anyone anything about defence.....

Reality just isn't your thing..... Is it?

You are a tiresome small minded stats driven ponitificator!

Yes - you can read numbers from a stats page!

But you clearly can't read a good footballer or a genuine football intellect if it fell into your batcave!

Stats do lie - and your selective choices just show a remarkable lack of maturity - actual analysis or contextual perspective!

Keep beating your empty drum......

I can you blind imbecile - his form last year shat on anything he ever produced for the Broncs!

He has matured as a footballer & is a leader and rock in defence!

Joffa was a gun all year. Except rock in D and the only reason he wasn’t, was coz he was everywhere in D, covering for others and therefore he had some important missed tackles. I reckon this season with the recruiting of other quality seasoned nrl forwards around Joffa he will miss less tackles and his A game will more than likely lift too. I look forward to a more effective all round forward in Joffa this year. I prefer a captain that is on the field for 80 mins otherwise he’s my pick.

Beyond hilarious.
It’s no comparison…and I don’t rate Pearce highly at all.
