wasn't his form state of origin like level when we re-signed him i think he was unstoppable with the ball in his hands
i think a lot of clubs were after him too
so i can see why they paid him

NO!!

Madge was happy to see him go...

@You Know Who

Can you clarify & expand on this... News to me


publicly said Benji [This word has been automatically removed]ing Marshall needs to regain the respect of the players

 

[Buttface]

NO!!

He’s never been origin level not even close at his peak, fittler said so at that time when he was having a good spell.

And you are better than Nofo? Really. Who are you? Please share your story on this forum? I will list

It's a brave man who takes the "Every player is better than me so I'll never criticise a single one." approach.

 

[Telltails]

Don't think anyone who mattered, ever had Nofa in SOO contention.
Nofa had some real good seasons with us credit where it is due but from where I sit since his allegiance with Lee H, his form, perception of his value to the club on and off the field, has been questionable at the very least. Now he just seems completely disengaged with the direction the club needs and wants to go in.

He doesn’t have to share anything.
He’s not getting paid $500k a year by us… he can be as fat and slow as he wants.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I am? Squarely on him?

[citation needed]

I think you have me confused with someone else you wanted to start an argument with. Good luck with that.

You’re the one who quoted me to begin with 😅

And you said

”They are/were both long term losers. Good riddance.”

Not acknowledging they have played for a long term losing club.

 

[happy_tiger]

People forget Nofa has form ......a few seasons ago he had a run in with a trainer for saying he had not meta pre season KPI ....was the reason he didn't start that season ....

He is. Yes, really.

@Bula is quite the talent, and very modest.

I dunno.... Last Wednesday to me means two days back... I might be wrong

People always stuff things up when they talk about last and next in relation to days.

I'm with you with your interpretation but my Mrs drives me crazy when she talks about next Wednesday she usually means not the next Wednesday that comes along but the one after that.

To me, that should be referred to as Wednesday week.

 

[innsaneink]

I wonder what Luai thinks of all this?

 

[hank37w]

If it was Wednesday, the article would've just said since Wednesday.
Last Wednesday is last week.

I can understand the confusion and people should be more careful with their wording.

I am always having to confirm dates with people to make sure we are on the same page.

I'm with your Mrs.

I doubt he gives a crap about Nofa

Out of curiosity is Nofoaloma our only player to win a Dally M positional award in say the last 8 years ? I know he's scored 104 NRL tries 100 for us 4 for Storm .How many tries has our 2nd biggest try scorer got in last 10 years .
Such a pity seems now hitting the bottom !
So maybe a " has been " but not a " never was " .

 

[Westie]

Can't we medically retire him, obviously he heart condition that stops him from playing 🤔

Brooks was halfback of the year in 2018....

Not sure that helps your argument.

Not sure im arguing any point But
What concerns me is not Nofo (as it seems he's gone ) its the Wests Tigers backline and our inability to score tries
I think WT wingers rarely get the ball in our attacking half .They mainly get the ball 10m from our line retrieving 6th tackle bombs
Alex Johnson scores many tries for the rabbits and doesn't have to do much to score them as he's constantly put into gaps and overlaps
Our plays usually breakdown before the ball gets to the edges ,.we have a couple a forwards famous for burning 5th and 6th tackle .
While that keeps happening won't matter whos on the wings .
Bula is great and Imo Toa is capable of being a top class center . Not rapt in many others

This is straight from the Ryan Matterson playbook. Do they share the same Manager?

Very different..Matterson had a significantly better offer in his management's back pocket,which also didnt require him playing middle.Still saw himself as a creative playmaker!
Doubt Nofa has anything anywhere else on offer.so were temporarily stuck with each other unless we pay him out something substantial

 

[clontarfkid]

just pay the 85% of his deal and move him on …

I think he has played his last NRL game for the Tigers…

what a terrible deal …the amount but particularly the length of the contract

$850k to do nothing is too much
Maybe pay him out his $500k this year at absolute most..heck,with what we paid for Mybe to move on its almost a bargain!!
