Fact
Nofa made 89 tackles in 2020 and missed 33.
Wingers don’t deserve half a million bucks a year, unless your wearing a Kangaroos jersey.

You always win if you outscore the opposition, how many tries did he score?

None of us have any idea what he was offered, but I don’t think he is leaving anyway.

7 wins 13 losses

All Nofo’s fault was it, the glass is always half empty for you isn’t it.

Yes but remember they were all Benji’s fault, even in the games he didn’t play.

Haha has been for about 9 years with this mob, nothing wrong with wanting more

I’m not anti noff just think he’s already on good freight

Nofo is the heart and soul of this club. This is not a black and white situation about whether he’s worth this or that.

If Nofo leaves it is an absolute travesty and a truly dark day for this club.

And for those people saying 500k is only reserved for elite wingers. Jesus Christ...HE IS AN ELITE WINGER!

He is without a doubt in the top 5 wingers in the game and last season was head and shoulders the best.

it could be interesting to hear how much would people pay for Mansour? For mine Nofoaluma is the same type of player,
it could be as always 'the grass is greener ...'?:thinking_face:

Nofa at age 26 probably has at least 3 top years left, I’d have him at 400K-425K over 3

Mansour at age 30 probably has one left maybe 2 max, I’d have him at 275K over 2

So your going to downgrade Noffos contract - I'm sure he will be pleased with that.

Russ, NSW is expecting our doctors, nurses and police to effectively take pay cuts while putting their lives on the line against Covid19. Many businesses have also gone under and jobs lost. Why should a footballer be exempt from cuts especially when Abdo has already said the grants will be cut. Nofoaluma's manager needs a reality check.

There is a big difference to start with talking about front line workers and footballers.
Also talking about what that goose Gladys is doing to the state and football - two different things again.

I don't see players like JAC, Grant etc. advocating they are happy to take a paycut.

Lastly - Noffo is on 450k - with h is last two seasons especially he would rightly expect a pay increase. How much that is would be debatable. I would think around 10% would be reasonable (that would give him approx. 500k). I would think that would be ok.

Nobody should have to take a pay cut that is doing their job. If Gladys stopped spending money on favoured electorates and stupid projects she wouldn't have to ask people to take a pay cut.

I assume if you are still working - you would also be happy to take a paycut - if I was working I wouldn't.

Job losses, pay cuts, poverty and then player managers wanting contract increases. I hope Hartigan is firm but polite. This is our.offer and we won't budge.

How do you know - they won't budge?

The world of reality is the NRL has reduced income which means reduced payments to Clubs. There will be a flow on. There is a limit to what can be paid by WTs no matter what his manager wants. Nofoaluma is no match winner, a good club player who has one good year in attack.

Yes. I have effectively taken a cut. Many are worse off having lost jobs, businesses and their health.

I agree, but there is nothing wrong with him wanting more if he can get it.

I wish I was on 450K, what a dream! I wouldn’t care if it ever increased, I’d quite happily take that wage into retirement. If people can’t set themselves up for the future earning money like that each year then there is something wrong with them.

Just asking, how would his stats compare with other wingers who are on $500k or more?

 

[innsaneink]

And fans whinge about lack of player loyalty.... This thread.. Lol

Lol. Exactly. Loyal players should take whatever the club offers and be happy, right?

And if they dare consider their options, they are a traitor.

If you say so.
Not my thoughts

True. Bit disappointing when Madge came out and said there is no way we would entertain a swap for JAC though, if you seen that interview you would have thought he was locked in here. I would have entertained the swap if Noff was keen but doubt Melb would have paid overs anyway.

It does seem to be the opinion of some on here.

 

[Harvey]

I reckon he could play fullback or in the backrow. Pay him 700k and convert him


You're in a particularly jovial mood tonight.

Few servings of Sheenius Soup

 

[twentyforty]

We all know Nofa loves the club and he loves us fans.
I for one don’t hold it against him for asking top dollar, but during contract negotiations is not the time to call in the eloquent scribes of the telegraph and such.
Assuming those quotes are accurate, unless Nofa does a complete 360, I don’t see him getting a future contract with WT.
In that 4 sentence quote Nofa managed to get in the words “I, my, myself” 13 times.

 

[cqtiger]

Sees someone like Cotric get offered $600k and others leave Wests Tigers for more money even though they were still under and agreed contract.
>
If he leaves this weakens us?

I think you've answered your own question. If he leaves, it will cost us (perhaps) $600k to get a similar replacement. Given Nofo was a winger of the year it could be argued it may cost even more. Paying $600k for a winger will definitely weaken us.

Despite what some think, there is not a proliferation of quality wingers on the market and the ones available are costing more than Nofo. If we're trying to keep the cap in check we're better off keeping him.

We definitely shouldn't pay overs - nor offer too long a contract - but for the sake of $50k or whatever we'd be mad not to try and retain him. I doubt any other winger we could buy would bleed gold and black like Nofo and provide the stats he does.

Haha
I will guarantee you that we can have a winger play for us for well under $600k.

Some people.

You are correct cq - I'm sure we could get wingers to play for us for nothing.

They would also not be worth a bean.

Why do people write rubbish to try and win points?

That’s what I think he’s worth at his age and with his limitations. He had a good year. Let’s not pay him big money for 3 years because he had one.

Did he have a good year though? He let in as many tries as he scored. Is that a good year?
Let him go.

To put Nofa’s defence into perspective.
According to Fox sport lab’s tackle efficiency rating, Nofa is rated at no. 71 out of all 87 nrl players who have played wing in 2020.
His TE% rating is a low 67%.
Statistically Nofa’s defence is weaker than 70 other nrl wingers, and also worse than all other wingers tried by WT, apart from Hoffman who only had 1 game.
