I’m shocked how much Nofo negativity there is in this thread.

Nofo is the heart and soul of this club. He contributes the most on AND off the field.

And all that aside he is an elite winger. Without a doubt top 5 and I would argue top 3. Who’s better...JAC and maybe Tupou. Who else?

He absolutely deserves to be paid as an elite winger. We’ve seen the club draw a line in the sand and refuse to pay overs so I have full confidence Hartigan and Madge will get it right here.

Jesus if you’re a Tigers fan and you don’t love Nofo then IMO you’re doing it wrong.

A solid club player, nothing more, nothing less. Had a very good season. He got paid $450k last time because he had us over a barrel and he's played to that value one season out of three. I don't think he's worth a cent more than that. Good in attack, very poor in defence.

We have lots of outside backs coming through, he's easily replaced. If he stays at $450k, cool, if he goes, no dramas.

Nofoaluma is a good club winger. He had his best year yet in attack but his defence is problematic. Fittler did him a favour by not selecting him in SOO where his poor defence and lack of pace would have been exposed. He is not elite level.

At this club, JAC, Koroibete and Simona were far better players. They all possessed the commodity which JAC demonstrated so well with the kick chase in SOO, genuine pace. There is no substitute.

You can’t honestly think things are that black and white in a footy club.

You’re completely ignoring everything else he brings to the dressing room and off the field.

Turfing people like that because they don’t fit your Moneyball methods is a sure fire way of destroying a club from within.

We've seen far better wingers leave for a variety of reasons. He goes end of next year, he will be replaced.

I like to believe I can look at players objectively. And I'll say it again, Brett Morris in his mid 30s is a far better player. He and his brother always have been.

To many fan boys commenting here... wingers are a dime a dozen .Quote one of the highest paid backs and one that has no idea how to defend his line ! Imo he has already reached his peak all down hill from now on ! I thought the club was getting its act together not the case obviously.

The Morris boys were headed for the top from the Illawarra juniors. Height, strength, pace, defence, will to win and finishing. Pace also means stronger defence as both have proven in SOO.

Love the comments from Lee. Really tugging at Nofo's heart strings. Hope he's listening!

Agreed. The more Lee talks, the more I dig him. It’s very evident he has a genuine passion for the club.

and an understanding of the club. When he said "black, white (first, acknowledging our Magpie paymasters) and *gold* (not orange, respecting the Balmain), I knew he understood this club.

I also liked the comments from Lee. Nofa is important to us, we value what we he brings to the club. And of course his agent will try to do what's best for Nofa.

But I only like Nofa because he's a WT player, and yes he has to 'look after himself', but the team comes first. If Nofa wants to get every cent out of us he can, then forget it, he has the wrong attitude, go elsewhere. $450k imo is more than fair, for* his playing ability, and what he brings to the team being a long-standing player. If he wants to try and bleed more out of us, which will hurt the team as it's less money we can spend elsewhere, then personally I would wish him well when he leaves.

I agree that if he was with another club we wouldn't be looking twice at him, but he is a winger at our club and like every single other player will try to squeeze as much money as he can which is his right. I like what he offers to our team despite some questionable defense.
The club is also in their right to put their valuation on what he offers, and if he signs with us, great....but if he gets more coin elsewhere good luck to him. With the time he has spent at the club we should know what his top price would be, and if another club pays overs then that is their problem.

that is a question that I don't recall anybody on here ever discussing. It would be very handy to know, apart from the announcement of who sponsors who on game day. I don't care who throws in what, I would be interested in knowing who throws in anything, and I'm not talking about Moses and the towel....

 

[TigerVinnie]

It was such a nothing article. The journo clearly had no real inside scoop hence why they couldn't even provide an estimation on how much the contract is for.

Seriously being "one of the best paid backs in the game" would put him near the million dollar mark. Was a throw away line with not backing, I wouldn't read too much into it.

In saying that good to hear were close to signing both Nof and Madge - our future is looking secure.
