Congrats Noffa

[Saturnalia]

The quintessential Nofo moment, was when he thought he had put his foot over the sideline and touched the ball.

It summed up his footy IQ completely.

 

[rustycage]

The personification of the systemic issues this club has. Looks dead set average most of the time. If he played with the Storm he’d probably have played origin by now.

He would be well hidden in the storm system.


you cant hide Nofa

hahhahahahahaha

You would at Melbourne. Bellamy would tell him to stand opposite his winger, and let the men inside do their jobs.

At Melbourne the inside men would do their job and Nofa would have played Origin

Load of crap
Nofo comes in before the ball has crossed the centre of the field ..
Going for repeated intercepts is the sign of a crap winger who can’t defend ..
The blokes dumb

I guess the other option is to win the ruck ..own the middle ...don't let the edges collapse , number up and communicate across the board

Oh bugger ...I'm on the WT's Forum ...not Gladstone Brothers website

I was in stitches when he tapped the ball out while still in the field of play
?

Talk about ? for brains ?

Was probably the centres fault

Sad Nofo feels he has to turn to Social media to defend himself

Good on him.
This is very candid and I like reading this stuff. Not every casual fan can understand what he is saying but It’s been an issue for quite some time how our A and B defenders return to the line. Sometimes they are too slow to get back. Sometimes they take a breather and push back on the wrong side of the field. It was pretty obvious to see that in the second half the team was more United in movements across the width of the defensive line.

Pretty sure someone ran past stef in the parra game to score a try because he was still flopping back to the defensive line. I like stef but just an example of poor commitment to the competition. Like Madge has said, Attitude needs to change.

Problem is Madge has been saying the attitude needs to change from the first day he got announced as our coach. 3 years on, the attitude hasn't changed.

I reckon his hands are tied by the pen pushing suits in Pascoe and Lee ..

For sure. I'm a fan of Madge, he's got passion for the joint that most of the players seemingly don't. Would much rather have a huge roster cleanout than show the coach the exit.

That's who we want coaching us, an incompetent with passion.
I know when I hop on a plane I want the pilot to be incompetent but passionate.

Pascoe and Lee aren't doing the coaching.

Man you’re boring to read sometimes

We couldn’t attract decent players before Madge got here and nothing has changed in that aspect ..

Then with the overpriced signings of Reynolds , Mbye and Packer which has taken 3 years to get over the club has gone into its shell and said they won’t be paying overs for players period ..

So by not paying overs for quality due to being burnt in the past we’re stuck with a mediocre squad for the seeable
Future ..

And it was Lee that pushed for extending Nofo .. no one else !

Cheers mate :+1:

Seriously.. what’s he supposed to do ?

Laurie is a rookie
Nofo had sucked forever
Jimmy is cooked
Doueihi can’t lock down a position
Maumalo is a newbie
Mbye is shit at wherever he plays
Brooks goes good if the pack aims up
Tamou is shit
Liddle is average
Twal is average
Garner is hit and miss
Lucy can play but can’t tackle
Joffa is hit and miss

Stefano is a rookie
Mikaele is dumb
Seyfarth is improving
Amone is a plodder
Blore is a rookie

Who would you keep from that list moving forward??

I’d only keep Laurie/ Brooks/ Stefano / Seyfarth/Doueihi and maybe Twal

The rest are either learning there trades or they’re just trash .

Without meaning to sound boring, with the exception of Mbye he's signed or extended everyone on that list. And whilst that group of players isn't going to shoot the lights out, they're a lot better than what they're displaying on the field week after week after week.

Madge has to fill a roster each year ..

We haven’t been a destination club for elite players long before Madge came onboard ..

We have gone backwards since V’landys introduced the 6 again rule and we’ve struggled with the pace of the game as have just about every other team .

Even South’s have had 50 put on them twice this year

We don’t have the roster unfortunately

Why is McGuire incompetent? I'd save that description for the players.

What our club obviously needs are more people around the place who don't give a rat's arse about winning or even having some pride of performance. Who would your suggestion of coach be to replace McGuire in that case?

There are so many ways.
I'll just point out two.
He is the defensive coach. His defensive strategy is to backpedal and slide - INCOMPETENT.

He picks the defensive liability, the attacking ghost, the worst player in the team, Moses Mbye EVERY WEEK - INCOMPETENT.

The list of incompetence is long and daunting.

If Madge is the defence coach, what are the roles than Wayne Collins and Shane Millard are filling? Would've thought one of them had an input in our defence.

Not a doubt ??
Just... Nofo stay on your wing, don't confuse centre for wing

Stay on his wing and watch the five eightcand centre run in side him with no one marking him .

I think the overall point is the twitter comment wasn't specifically about Nofo's defence against Souths, I don't think, it's his defensive reads over a career.

The thing that annoyed me yesterday was the return of the sideways Nofo. It's a very simple proposition for David - run straight and hard and he has a good game. Run sideways and jink, he has a bad game.

We needed the go-forward yesterday when Souths were swarming in defence, and Nofo decided to try and jink and step, which got him monstered every time. You can only dance about against a tired staggered line.

When he runs straight and hard, he's very effective, and I don't understand why he doesn't just do this 100% of hitups, because he's compact, strong and has a decent turn of speed, so he can hit the line pretty hard pretty quickly. Look at Addo-Carr, the guy is a flyweight and very skinny below the waist, but he uses his speed to power into hitups. Look at Laurie, probably lighter again than JAC but regularly pokes through the line because he's smart about where he aims himself, doesn't present a big body shape to tackle, and speeds into the contact.

I would say to Nofo - if you start going sideways you are dropped. Hard and straight, or you are playing for Magpies.

He ran for 187 metres yesterday but 87 of those were his intercept.

The blaming of his teammates on twitter was pretty low...

I missed that, what did he say?


Hope inspector gadget uses is go go gadget law firm to tear us Nuffa's contract. This type of public slander must be a breach of some clause.

Really poor of Nofaluma to blame his teammates in public...

Has it occurred to him that EVERY player we have tried inside him has looked bad? That it is ONLY his side of the field that this has happened for 7 years? And that HE is the only common denominator?

This all comes back to the coach.
He hasn't created a sense of team unity or common purpose.
That's his most important job. You can't have a successful team without it.

How do you know the group of players we have are capable of Team Unity under Madge... or any other coach?

How do you know Madge and others haven't already worked their guts out in every which way to try to get Team Unity?

I'm sure the players **Madge and Hartigan** have bought to Our Club would have passed the No Dickheads Test, but there is a very real possibility this current group of blokes will never be like the Penrith Team, or anywhere near it.

That's his most important job. You can't have a successful team without it.

How do you know the group of players we have are capable of Team Unity under Madge... or any other coach?

How do you know Madge and others haven't already worked their guts out in every which way to try to get Team Unity?

I'm sure the players **Madge and Hartigan** have bought to Our Club would have passed the No Dickheads Test, but there is a very real possibility this current group of blokes will never be like the Penrith Team, or anywhere near it.

He picked 'em. He's responsible for them.

Sad Nofo feels he has to turn to Social media to defend himself

Good on him.
This is very candid and I like reading this stuff. Not every casual fan can understand what he is saying but It’s been an issue for quite some time how our A and B defenders return to the line. Sometimes they are too slow to get back. Sometimes they take a breather and push back on the wrong side of the field. It was pretty obvious to see that in the second half the team was more United in movements across the width of the defensive line.

Pretty sure someone ran past stef in the parra game to score a try because he was still flopping back to the defensive line. I like stef but just an example of poor commitment to the competition. Like Madge has said, Attitude needs to change.

Problem is Madge has been saying the attitude needs to change from the first day he got announced as our coach. 3 years on, the attitude hasn't changed.

I reckon his hands are tied by the pen pushing suits in Pascoe and Lee ..

Pascoe and Lee aren't doing the coaching.

Man you’re boring to read sometimes

We couldn’t attract decent players before Madge got here and nothing has changed in that aspect ..

Then with the overpriced signings of Reynolds , Mbye and Packer which has taken 3 years to get over the club has gone into its shell and said they won’t be paying overs for players period ..

So by not paying overs for quality due to being burnt in the past we’re stuck with a mediocre squad for the foreseeable
Future ..

And it was Lee that pushed for extending Nofo .. no one else !

Agree :100: @hobbo1.
