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.

Here's a theory guys. The leak to Chammas & getting Nofa to kick stones was from Nofa's agent Sam Ayoub to pressure Tigers in releasing Nofa (including paying more freight than they have said they would).

I reckon the 2 most important lines in the article which point to this are the last 2:

His services have been offered to rival clubs on numerous occasions over the past two years but the Tigers haven’t been able to agree on the amount they would contribute as part of his release.

Nofoaluma has also attracted interest from the Super League.

As 50 said,
Jay-Z made it a hot line, I made it a hot song.

Haha, no idea bra.

If you actually read the story, it becomes a little clearer. He hasn't been at training "since Wednesday" and had a meeting at the club on Thursday evening, at which he agreed to come back to training on Monday.

In other words, he didn't show up on Thursday and got called in for a please explain. I'm not sure what went down at that meeting - it could be anything from an arm round the shoulder to an almighty bollocking with a threat of the sack. But whatever it was, Nofoaluma has obviously backed down.

You can't generally fire someone for not turning up to work once, so I'm not really sure what else the club could have done. For all we know he's on a written warning and strict KPIs, which is about the most they could legally do.

Nofo strikes me as the sort of guy that will ring the Brydens hot line seeking a free initial meeting for legal advice…

Boom! Agreed. We have shipped him around but no one wants the contract
 
Nof Nof Nof... as if you weren't disliked enough by most Tigers fans.

When you've played like dog poo for years you can't complain about training.

Haha My God, that’s even worse. Could you imagine the Storm, when Bellamy’s time is up replacing him with someone who they concede don’t know if they can coach? People wonder why we are where are.

Did QLD know if Billy Slater could coach ?
Experienced Coaches haven’t helped us lately,
The playing roster helps make a coaches job easier.
I’m hoping Benji and his
Coaching Staff can put some enjoyment back into the boys routine and bring out the best in them.
Yes I would have liked another assistant with experience to add to John Morris.
Who I think could be one of the best purchases we have made for next year.
2024 be more competitive in every game and build from there into 25,26.
Here hoping anyway 🍻

Why do you know so much about all these reddit posts?

You’re talking about Origin. That’s based a lot on emotion and man management. No club took a punt on Slater to coach their club and give him a 3 year contract. They don’t know if he can coach because he served no apprenticeship. It’s unheard of.
 
I’m sure I read somewhere that Alexander Lobb is one of the fittest and best trainers at the club so far in pre season.
Yes I understand some will say that doesn’t make him a good footballer, but it does show he’s a young, enthusiastic and ambitious footballer who wants to work his way to the top.
These are the type of traits we definitely need to be any chance of exceeding expectations in 2024.
I have also heard Declan Casey is a very fit athlete, so I’m sure these two in particular will be ready and waiting to prove their worth if NRL opportunities come their way.
