The equal leading try scorer in club history.

Probably conceded the most as well.
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?
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.
He picked 'em. He's responsible for them.
I've said it before Dwight and in this very post you are replying to in **bold text** in case you missed it, **Madge and Hartigan** together as a team decide who to procure as far as I know.
So it can only be that you're just stirring when you blame Madge all the time, and dont really believe it yourself.
And if you think about it in an un-biased way its no one's fault Dwight.
It's really just pot luck when a coach is putting a squad together, that they all get along really well and become close.
How can anyone know?
Once we've got 'em we cant send em back like a pair of shoes that dont fit.
Obviously with the juniors coming thru the ones that dont fit can be weeded out in time.
But that cant be done when coaches and fans want instant gratification by buying players willy nilly [ as good as they may be on paper] like the Bulldogs are trying to do atm.
I feel we need to have patience to wait for Our young blokes to work their way thru to fill as many spots as we can.
Mate I have to disagree.
The coach and the atmosphere that prevails around the coach is a huge factor in how a team unites for a common purpose.
I just don't think Madge has it in him to inspire the group to work for the common good.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.
