Nofo has had ONE good year

One very good year and some ordinary years mixed in his career agree he's a very good clubman but appears that someone is in his ear stroking his ego

But you make roster decisions based on projected performance and Noff does appear to be rising to an elite performer, what he did prior to last year is really a non factor.

It’s a huge factor. He’s had one good season since 2016.

I disagree. If I’m going into a room for a retention meeting to discuss how I project he’ll perform in 2021, a great year in 2020 is carrying much more weight than an average 2017 - and I also think he’s been a good (maybe not great) player since his debut. To me Noff found more confidence in himself last year which I know is powerful in rugby league. He believes he will play origin, good on him.

In the past 4 seasons he’s played to his contract value once. To reward him with an upgraded 4 year contract is bonkers imo.

He hasn't improved is defence issues which is the problem.

I’d pay 3 years at 500 with a club option, that’s probably max for me.

And I understand this is overs by 25-50K but how many dally m players have we got and how much trouble are we having getting them here!!!!

We discussed this already, I think I need to see better defence from our inside men before I pin all our issues on a winger. You don’t sign wingers who can tackle because you’d never find one. ?

Then he’s gone and we probably pick up a worse player and go backwards

We have discussed this and I can read a game well enough to know who to blame in the majority of situations. Yes at times his inside ment didn't help him, but he takes plenty of wrong options regardless of what the players inside him do.

If he goes we won’t be going backwards on the ladder. He is a bit overrated on here due to his perceived loyalty. Funnily enough I went into the south’s forum to see their reaction to potentially signing Nofo and it is pretty much unanimous that they’d prefer Mansour.

Yes it’s often obvious that Noffa makes the wrong read but how many times last year did our centres leave him high and dry? His confidence out there must be shot. It’s also a big ask to tackle NRL wingers with their speed and size these days. Sometimes you just applaud good attack like what Souths backline do to many teams.

Honestly It’s the tries like we gave up to RCG that concern me more. An old coach of ours always said if they can go round us good luck to em but they ain’t coming through.

That’s the WT I want to watch.

Those wrong choices are the reason he didnt play origin, not the club he plays for.

Because defence loses you games . You can’t have a guy who is he’s off his game , your basically starting from 10 points behind before you even begin . I hope he’s turned a corner and remains loyal , but if he’s had 1 good year and it’s back to the crap he dished up for the previous 2 years , than what are really missing ?
He was dropped at the start of the year before last if everyone remembers . Was being shopped around as well . Good luck to him . I hope he gets paid . I just hope if we are the ones paying him , he plays to his contract .

We’re not going to agree on this one mate, I think playing in a team that shoots itself in the foot so often and is frail in D across the park, your winger is not to blame.

He should take some ownership, he wants to play origin he wants to play finals, he is a big part of the reason we haven't played finals.

He never played with Lawrence in his prime as a centre, Simona was betting on the opposition, BJ was eating a lot of maccas.

on this forum most on here think he is Eric Groth senior or Ken Irvine
