David Nofoaluma #164

He needs to lose the spook plays

I thought that the spook plays he did, (and the ones Reynolds has done) has served us very well. Really snuffed out the attack and strengthened the defence.

Maybe the better teams will take advantage of that and make us pay, that is a concern, some pinpoint kicker could kick for their winger behind our running up defence and really make us pay, but surely we've thought of that and we will be prepared.

It's Funny cause BJ has more defensive issues as a centre than Nofoaluma..at the moment they are all working great..together..

Even the best wingers in the game make bad decisions in defence..Brett Morris left his wing when Tedesco got Trampled by Sivo the other week..

When people like Brandy rate you he's OK by me..

 

[tigerbalm]

The intercept try is working for him at the moment so all good. I have a feeling if he missed that one last night and rushed out, the doggies would've gone the distance and this would be a different conversation.

 

[happy_tiger]

He is doing his job , why do we need to love him ....Geo loves him enough for all of us combined anyway

Agree
But running out of the line and trying to
“Spook” the opposition is a low percentage play ..
Tbh last night was the first time I’d heard that term ( spook) .. made me ?

It was a kind way of saying he’s ? and needs to get it out of his game .

Don't be mad..his last tackle of the game made all the difference..1point

 

[JC99]

He’s still rushing out of the line. So far the intercepts have worked but when they don’t it’s almost always a try for the opposition so he needs to be careful.

Attack wise has never been better

I'm challenging it .....my calculations worked out at 184.2 metres they have it at 184.6 metres

Yeah, but our scramble defence is pretty good atm too. It's an attitude thing.

Yeah a few times we got caught short on the wing but brooks and grant would fly over and make the tackle

It was quite reassuring that everytime they got on the outside of us the cover was coming across behind the defenders.

Nofo,,,Nofo,,, Nofo,,, Nofo,,, Nofo,,, Nofo,,, Nofo ,,,Nofo,,, chants from the sideline (lounge room)

 

[JD Tiger]

Nofa (and Talau) did great in that game. If they can maintain that, and the team as a whole can maintain our defensive structure, then we don't need to bring in wingers from outside.

By the looks of it he loves Brandy as well
He may have a soft spot for Penrith

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

i have been Nofo's harshest critic his attack is killing it and he is going great with the intercepts hope he keeps it up.
He might just be the bait Bellamy needs to release Grant to us next year if he collects dally M winger of the year and top try scorer then sacrifice him for Grant

 

[hodgo]

One of the form backs in the comp right now. Doing better defensively, does more work then perhaps any back i the game. Love him and will ride his highs and lows

 

[gato]

Nofo is the intercept king

He’s not going anywhere. Give it a rest.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Grates on me to no end when I see it suggested our wings need to be upgraded. Wrong. Only one wing does. Noffa is one of if not the most destructive ball runners in the game. The fact he leads the comp in tackle breaks is proof of that. He has defensive issues, but his pros outweigh his cons by a tonne. This is the year he’s starting to cement himself as a club legend. Talk of upgrading him or using him as trade bait is nonsense.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

So sorry GNR4LIFE or shall i say Mr Maguire i forgot you know everything...
It grates on my no end when i see people who think we can offer a trade for someone who is a. not in the team or not playing good e.g. Jennings for Grant
It is because nofo is going so well that is why he might be a chance at a trade with storm for when they lose JAC. Storm are not going to want Jennings
