[Ecto-1]

I wonder when people are going to realise this isn’t the Nofa thread 🤔

Twins.

Probably half the cost!

 

[Demps]

Probably half the cost!

Better for club morale too.

Can't see it happening though.
Hymel doesn't get much of a mention anywhere.
Grey man, underrated.

I’m prepared to call BS on this. No player would be told in November/December that they will start the following season in reserve grade. I give our club some benefit of the doubt that they aren’t that far gone.

Most likely said if you don't lift your game you'll be in ressies.

Geeze what a boring bitchfest, handbags at 10 paces ladies....

So..... this is a rumours thread, who's got some juicy ones to throw around??

Twins.

Also, this photo 'factually' proves that Hymel Hunt is a happier player than Nofa, because as the evidence clearly shows, one is smiling.

I know this because I "look at photos" which is almost, but not quite, as accurate as 'watching games'.

 

[Kelce68]

We need a signing aye...

 

[Demps]

We need a signing aye...

Unlikely, i think.

Casey & Lobb move into the top 30 perhaps.

Totally fair.

I figure if I keep mentioning his name, eventually Hooper or Riccio will run with it on 360.

Just have to figure out which poster is them in here...I have my suspicions.

Want to point out any actual "facts" as opposed to "opinions" you may believe you brought up?

Consistently lousy up and in defence between attackers that create overlaps - when the line is sliding so he just needs to hold his width and mark his opposite....

Your response was that wasn't just a Nofa issue - which is BS!!

No long-term NRL winger has had the same consistent defensive flaw issues - they remedy them or get dropped for good!

Nofa has demonstrated he cannot learn from his errors!

All facts!

We need some people need to drop a load to get some stress out.
This is going to be a long off season if the last few pages are the standard.

I gave you 4 players with similar problems.

You chose to ignore that to call your belief a 'fact'.

What is 'consistently'? Is that measurable? How has he ever maintained a First Grade career as long as he has with these failings? How have 3 coaches, not rookies- PREMIERSHIP WINNERS- selected him MORE OFTEN THAN NOT (facts- go look it up) while he carries these horrible flaws?

You asked to consider context. I asked to consider the defensive effort of the men inside him. Ignored. Because of 'facts'.

I asked if you knew Nofa's defensive instructions, because you 'know stuff'. Turns out, you can recite how slide & up & in defence works. Awesome. But, what were Nofa's instructions? Was he advised that, if he thought an intercept was on, to go for it? Was he instructed to attempt to knock the ball down when in a 2-1 situation? You know, facts. Which you ignored in order to name call.

If you could show me the actual facts, not beliefs, in your argument (remembering that someone also pointed out that there isn't a disproportionate amount of points scored down Nofa's wing to any other, but I digress) that'd be great.

I apologise.

I'm normally just here to poke fun & have a read & claim the greatness of Hymel Hunt.

Just got rubbed up the wrong way from someone I normally roll eyes & ignore.

Instructed to knock the ball down???

Zero credibility self admitted troll!!

Only another three months until their first game of 2024…

Wonder if they will have signed anybody by then ?

A lot of Nofas defensive mistakes can easily be “yada yada” away by the fact he was exposed because of the failings of the men inside him .
If you play a defence that ultimately leads to the edges jammming in, because in 2023 you kind of have to because everyone on the field is minimum 100kgs, and runs a sub 12 100m , then winger defensive mistakes are just simply the way you do business .
The issue with nofa , isn’t that he scews up , the big issue is , he’s a mug lair , and a selfish dickhead , who simply can’t and won’t grow up . This can manifest in “I’m better than you” try celebrations , or it can manifest in a lack of investment and interest during the game
, or , in half hearted defensive effort , it doesn’t really matter , the issue is attitude . And it all starts with his sense of entitlement , and generally poor attitude .
People will put up with the shenanigans , up until the performance no longer is there .
This is and always was his greatest strength , but now it’s his greatest weakness .
For me , I’d rather a 20 year old with potential like Lobb , or even Staines .
Benji , who was better than nofa in every way , even when he was 35 , had to learn this the hard way . And he transformed his game .
If Nofa doesn’t come to Jesus , the. He will be selling houses at Campbelltown rain and Horne in 2026 .

Both are true!

 

[Lestronge]

??? lol now your just being argumentative . That’s literally my point. But you can deal with the defensive mistakes ,. But you can’t deal with the poor attitude .
