This is your biggest problem!

You don't understand the dynamics of sliding or up-and-in defence!

If coming up and in off your line - you cannot run between your opposite and the inside attacker as if going for an intercept.

You have to get to the centre to prevent the pass...

His timing and technique are consistently appalling - and not in sync with his defensive line who tend to be sliding meaning he needs to keep his width and mark his opposite winger.

Not my biggest problem at all.

Thank you for the explanation. It's amazing what watching games will teach you.

If you could, however, explain how he has constantly gone against the coaches explicit gameplan that you have so accurately detailed, but rarely been removed from his position in the side, it might help me with all my other problems.

If you could also explain how this is solely a Nofa issue, therefore making him the worst defensive winger in the NRL, that'd be great.

All hail King Benji! I’m also hoping the following jobbers are fired for non performance or just being lame:

Ahem…

Noffa
Tumeth
Seyfarth
Papalii
Twal
Matamua

These guys wouldn’t make first grade at another club.

Gotta replace em with somebody better..and affordable under cap
Papalii particularly challenging to replace..the others fringe NRL

Name someone "paid for their opinion" who rates Nofa???

As I said his defence is a running joke in league circles!!

IYKYK

Michael Maguire.
Tim Sheens.
Ivan Cleary.


Snidest.

Oh wait- you've not selected him as a 1st grade coach. My mistake.

All three coaches dropped him...

And Maguire was happy for him to leave!!

Dopey!!

He has been dropped at least once every season since 2017!!!

Only gets back in due to pressure from his patron Lee - and a previous lack of viable alternatives!

All 3 coaches picked him.

I believe they DID get paid for their opinion too.

While, I might add, having him blatantly disrespect the instructions given to him on almost every attacking raid in his direction (according to those that, you know, watch games etc).

Yet, they still picked him.

Sounds like they should have run it past you first.

Grow up and watch the game!!

Tupou's hard yards carries in our red zone were rightly highlighted by many commentators this season!

Brian Fletcher and Joel Caine on SEN commented on how damaging his runs were.

Both said he was a gun and we need to lock him up.

Do you know this by watching games too?

Or by reading what Hoopsie Doopsie tells you?

Are you claiming he wasn't dropped???

Re-writing history Choad???

You're killing him.

Are you 12?

13?

How damaging his runs are have nothing to do with the work rate. Doesn’t matter how damaging he is if he only runs the ball twice a game.

No. Not at all.

Wayne Bennett cut Wally Lewis too.

Thing is, all 3 PICKED him as well.

By the way- nice constant name calling. You'll note that absolutely nobody else grovels at your level. That's all you.

Keyboards create wonderfully tough warriors.

Does it matter?

Have I brought your age into it? Do you prefer arguing with children? You keep responding to me.

Learn the meaning of words before using them!

Grovel???

You are proving your age and immaturity with your stupid defences of Nofoaluma!

 

[The Chad]

For those counting-

Josh Addo-Carr
David Nofoaluma
Mikaele Ravalawa
Maika Sivo


Some of the absolute worst defenders in the NRL, if you 'watch games'.

He's a 21 year old with 26 games under his belt....

It's reported that Trent Robinson & Ricky Stuart are interested in signing him.

He's got a higher ceiling and offers more value to this club than David Nofoaluma.

I’m not saying I don’t rate him. I’m saying his work rate is arse in reply to a comment by Snidest

Agreed - they are all shithouse!!

But JAC had better stats at Melbourne when he was making an effort!

 

[gregjm87]

Doueihi is the slowest and worst lateral defender in the entire NRL and you want him at centre!!

FMD - shows me why you rate Nofa!


Rubbish - this is not basketball!!

It is a two-way game and EVERY player needs to have defensive proficiency to justify NRL selection.

Nofa's "runs on the board" are equally evidenced by the disproportionate number of tries scored AGAINST the Tigers on his wing!

There are not disproportionate numbers scored on his wing. Well maybe disproportionate compared to the NRL average but significantly less tries are conceded on his side than Tigers left side.
