Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hard to see Nofas position at the club remaining tenable. Going to the players association is a card you pull when you've well and truly had enough. Hopefully the storm sign him asap. Wishful thinking.
You've met my wife?
Had enough of what?
Being over paid and under performing?
Farewell David.
Lobb or Casey ready to go.

There shouldn't be any mixed emotions mate. He is a senior player like you said & quite frankly this is embarrassing on his behalf.

Nofo played with Benji.
He probably doesn't see Benji as an authority figure but more akin to a peer.
Especially given his lack of experience in the role and the fact he hasn't earned it but was handed the job because of his status.
Not saying Nofo is in the right because he's a cultural cancer that needs to go, but his status as a club legend doesn't necessarily mean people respect him as an authority.
Out of all people as a Tigers player, you would want to play for? Surley its Benji?

Imagine guys like us who wish we were in his position and he has the nerve to complain?
Then complain to the PA.
Goes against everything Benji is trying to build here.
Guy wouldn't last a minute on a real job site.

God Nofa gives ya the shits with this stuff, he has squandered a lot of potential over the years because of his own ego and hubris.
Could have been great if he applied himself to his craft.
Prayers up that he can be shifted, we already have enough instability in the organisation, we don't need this shit in the playing group.

I don't see how there's a way back from this for him. The playing group is probably filthy because they've been busting their arse & Api our captain has been trying to push those standards.

Nofo and Lee can both cast off elsewhere....

once again, thank you so much Lee for ensuring Nofa gets a 500k contract...can you both leave the club !!! Very sad that nofa is doing this, well at least he wont be on the wing round one..
As far as I am aware there are two recruitment structures. The first is more common in American sports where the head of the recruitment is more or less entirely responsible for the roster and the coach just coaches. The theory behind this is coaches only plan for now (rightly so, their job is dependent on current success) whereas list managers plan long-term. This doesn't happen much in NRL though I know Dragons had this set up for a while several years ago.
The 2nd, which is the NRL way, the coach is the lead voice in the first grade roster with the recruitment team acting as advisors and ensuring cap compliance. The main role of the recruitment team is pathway talent. Despite what one things of the first grade coach they could certainly sell the pathways and have a high opinion of the development coaches. The thought is there isn't much need to scout existing first graders as they are typically a known commodity which coaches already research. The coaches however don't spend much time studying the lower grades.
So...
In my opinion Fulton appears to be doing a decent enough job in recruiting lower grade players. He does have a proven talent to do so in his time at Manly. He probably has little say in the first grade side apart from being an advisor.
However he should shut up about negative opinions of the head coach or other aspects of the club and should be punted if he can not learn to do so. I'm not in any rush to see him gone though and would prefer he and Benji be given every chance to work things out unless there is a clear better option to take his place.

could you imagine this at a strong club !!! it just would not be!! get rid of the bloke Benji he is bringing the club down!!

Overall he has been a good winger for WTs but he is highly paid and a senior player who should be driving standards. I read the issue with him leaving is the $ the club is prepared to contribute. Perhaps we need to revisit this to get him a fresh start.

That’s the third time I’ve seen you post about me without having the balls to come at me head on.
Pretty gutless.
Nice to know I’m living rent free in your head though….

Nof kicking stones get him out of the joint quick smart, he's not that good to warrant putting up with his poor attitude. Big test for Benji now going to the RLPA is a big step almost untenable for him to stay.
