I've stuck up for Noffa plenty of times and don't agree with the herd mentality we have here against him, but something is quite fishy here. Either from our side or his
Why wouldn’t there be a herd mentality when one of our most experienced, supposed “role models” not only refuses to train but calls in the union to back him.
We have come down the absolute shittiest road in the past decade, which has culminated in our past 2 disgraceful seasons as LAST in the comp.
Just when we need our senior guys to show the way, as they do at most other clubs, what do we get, a whining winging cur who, as usual, is only about him.
Nofa, ever heard of rolling your sleeves up and getting on with it, turn your fitness around and give of your absolute best. Showing the way !
Only one way to remove a clot or a cancer , cut it out.
Take your petty selfish attitude Nofa and piss off. Your Tiger time is over IMO.
 
If there were reps from the players association at training to follow up on it - how can anyone trust him - he has alienated himself from the playing group!
Good on those still giving him them benefit of the doubt. I consider myself a reasonably fair minded person but he has lost me.
Read the article....they were there to address the entire squad
 
Personally I think the stories should stay in house. My concern is that benji leaks info to suit his agenda.

If his agenda is to punt perineal losers like Noffa, agend away Benji!!! Don’t stop angending until all the noff’s aregone.

Noffa has been shit for longer than I can remember. Pick a page in this thread in the early teens and you’ll see people were against him getting an extension. Since that time he’s been dropped, punted to Melb, shopped around and if he happens to sneak in FG, generally abysmal. The sooner he’s a bad memory the better.
 
Sorry to say but there is almost nothing constructive about anything being said. It’s just a big pile on, on an already highly unpopular player. No one knows the real story, just have automatically taken the contrary position to the guy because it’s him. Ain’t no way would this level of vitriol be aimed at any other player. And of course Benji is automatically being hailed the hero here because he’s smack bang in the middle of his honeymoon period. It’s such poor form that most of you are letting your emotions rule your opinion on this matter.

lol, what a silly post.

I get you probably get some kick from being contrary and I’m the last person to kink shame but my mans, have a think about what you’re saying and what corner of the internet your trolling. If people are “piling” on nofa, it’s probably cause he’s shit and adds little value to the club we support. It’s not a conspiracy. It’s not that everyone got together and organized a targeted hate campaign.

Its
Cause
Hes
Shiiiiiiiiit.

You don’t even know the facts.

Well I’m certainly not lauding Benji as a hero.
I am basing my comments/opinions on the facts as reported, and if correct, show Nofa as not the sort of player I’d want to coach nor play with.
If there is another side to the story I’ll happily react accordingly.
And lets not forget that Benji hasn’t really achieved anything so far, the time for a review of his actions will come down the track.

It’s only one side of the story. Assuming it’s even true.

😂. But we do!

.

Do I know if he is refusing to train? Nope.
Do I know if Benji is railroading him? Nope!

Do I know he’s an expensive failure that has a (known) history of off field dramas? YES!

Has he shown that he is a liability on the field if he happens to scrape into FG? YeSssss

Who cares how they get rid of him. What’s it matter? As long as he’s gone. If they can get him on breach of contract all the better! Get some of that wasted investment back!

Yep saw that and spoke to Nofa. If a complaint is made by a player about ill treatment it stands to reason that the players association would have a duty of care for ensuring that the entire playing group were aware of what is appropriate in terms of acceptable training standards and what is not. Too much of a coincidence that they just turned up today when he was due back at training after lodging a complaint. My read only - but that's the way I see it.

You can‘t fire a player for breach of contract if they have done nothing wrong. No matter how much you hate them.

What are you talking about. It's a watershed
moment for the club, and he's carrying on
like a pork chop. Oldest vet/back in the club
getting beat by front rowers in time trials.
Complaining about being singled out, has
a history of putting himself 1st & then goes
and rats on staff to the RLPA because
he feels he's been unfairly treated. Too much
mediocrity, Benji is putting his foot down.
Players have nicknames for him & some
want him gone. What are you talking about?
This has nothing to do with $ or even his
form in the last few years. This is an attitude
thing, this isn't good for the rest of the squad.
You keep saying we've only heard one side
what do you want, a sit down interview with
him & then draw your conclusion? Quit being
such a contrarian. The facts are before us
all. It's a reoccurring theme with him if you
know anything about the players/team. It's
never his fault. Give us a break GNR far out

Again with the feelings inane generalizations.

My contract breaching was a hypothetical, maybe a little hopeful thinking.


I reckon you’d be hard pressed to find one poster who “hates” Noffa as a person. I certainly don’t. He’s a below standard NRL player that plays for the team I support. I want good players so my team wins. Not sure what’s confusing about that concept?

Sorry mate, it’s all hearsay. I’m not going to start piling on him just because there is an article on it. The same kind of article btw that many have claimed in the past has proved the media has an agenda and uses their position to try and destabilise the club.

Yes. And if Noffo was stretching credibility with his claim of mistreatment, the RLPA visit will underline that nicely with the rest of the squad. If not, let the management/player rift begin.

ok ok ok.

If there was no article, Noffa turned up to training. Stayed late to pack up the witches hats, would you still be happy he was in the starting FG team come rnd1?

Bro there has been 3. People in the loop
have been knowing about his attitude
for some time now. I agree that the media
has an agenda & tries to destabilise us, I've
writen about it several times on here in
the last few weeks. This isn't the case.
We've also said openly that we've been
shopping him with no takers - why is that?
The journalists are just stating facts bro.
He rocked up unfit, is getting beat in time
trials by front rowers and he's gone off an
whined to the RLPA for his perceived
treatment. He's being an entitled prat - Benji
knows whatsup, he's played with him for
a big part of his career — I trust him more
than David who has a history of entitled
behaviour. I respect your opinion but tbh
enough is enough. This is a new era and
he has to start ticking boxes. I'm not saying
tear up his contract but by the holy sandals
of Moses, pull your weight or piss off!
