The reason is he is not good enough.
Yes, I agree that Freddy Fittler should be the judge of whether someone is a good player or not. Gutho is a great centre. Paul Vaughan is the best prop in the game (2019 selection I know).
Why use hyperbole to make your point? There have been other SOO coaches and he hasn't been selected. Why? Not good enough.
It's just a silly argument that we judge someone is solely judged by whether they play origin. Don't like him? Say why instead of depending Freddy's or Laurie's opinion.
It's not a matter of liking or disliking him. He for what he brings is imo on overs. Brett Morris offers more at the Roosters but I suspect the Roosters aren't paying him what Nofoaluma receives. Maybe that is a benchmark Hartigan uses?
Out of curiosity, what does Brett offer more? He certainly looks good scoring those tries but doesnt everyone at the Roosters and Storm?
He brings with him experience as both a former Australian and SOO rep. He maintains his place at his age in a very strong team. With that team keen to continue his career is an indication of how valued he has become at that club. The Morris bros are fierce competitors, with the advantage of being tall and strong in the air. Brett still maintains good pace, finishing and is. a strong defender. I suspect also both bros represent good value for money. Also he doesn't seem to keen to want his manager play out his contract negs. in the media. Select or remove attributes as applicable to Nofoaluma.
I think the only parts of this I can agree with on is managers and defence, I definitely remember some awesome run downs by both. In re to managers the Morris twins haven’t been in a situation where they needed one imo.
Nofa is a fierce competitor, actually his our most competitive, his got pace, his got awesome finishing (anyone remember that try where he kicked the ball to himself while in midair outside the sideline? I cant remember which game that was but if anyone can remember let me know)
He just needs to stop rushing in on defence ?♂️?♂️?♂️
We each have different views on players. Brett Morris is a former Kangaroo and SOO rep while Nofoaluma is not. My view is the Morris boys are far superior to Nofoaluma and always were. Both were produced from a very strong RL nursery, the Illawarra, which counts for something in calculations.
You’re quite right and thats alright, I’m just enjoying the debate tbh! I’m an analyst for work (not the data reading kind) I basically study patterns and behaviours all day for a living, which i think is why the nrl is fun to watch, i basically sit there and analyse ?
