@400 to 450K - Give him what he is asking.

Nofo Is a wholehearted Tiger

This is realistic especially compared to the rubbish players that have earnt more at this club and others in recent History.

Its such a no brainer to me

Are you sure he's not asking for more?

No mate Im not,

The Tigers are percieved to be a less desirable destination than any other club in the NRL at present. .

More thann anything else I want us to be a tough club on and off the field {melb like} but this sigmals how we treat the cream of our crop.

Realistically he is good winger. He is our.best and most recognised player now.

This descission is more than 100k

We cant allow nofo to be in another teams jersey.

We can at 600K +

I like Nofo a lot but the club needs to act as a professional business. If another club wants to pay those sort of dollars I wish Nofo the best playing for them.

$400k is a really good salary for a winger. He is a good winger. I like the guy a lot. We should try and keep him. Anything above 400k should be calmly thought through in the context of the teams requirements.

I think they could add a little more for Nofo's services and it doesn't have anything to do with one single solid year IMO. Every club has a 'face' or a 'representative'. For years we have had Benji Marshall, face of the Tigers and to some extent the NRL, and I have no doubt part of the value in his contract was for that reason. Attend more promo's than everyone, be the media 'go-to', get your face on the pamphlets, face on the tickets, big on social media etc etc etc.

I think Nofo is in that same space now. I'm actually happy to pay his $450K (if that's the number) and give you an extra $50K for the extra work and expectation.

From the outside, people then say "He ain't worth $500K!" and I agree, but his is worth $430 (as a player) plus an extra 70K for his additional exposure, services etc etc. All completely legal in salary cap land. Every club does it. It just means he will now be fully involved as a professional footballer AND providing those sometimes intangible marketing benefits. You have to hang aroudn the extra hour at the golf day, you have to share yourself around the supporter group more at fun days, you have to be ready for the media shoots, you have to do all the extras.

I keep coming back to Brett Morris. He's been a very good footballer for a long time. He played SOO and was a Kangaroo. Even in his twilight years he's a great winger. I'd be surprised if he us on similar $ to Nofoaluma. He's the benchmark for me and Nofoaluma is below him.

I agree, but there are other forces at play there. Im sure I heard on somewhere that the Morris' are only on 325K. I generally take these numbers with a grain of salt and whilst I agree on your assessment of Brett Morris, Nofo is worth more to WT than BM is worth to the Roosters.

And Morris is 34, Nofa is 27, at 27 Morris was earning a motza

Morris had also played representative football at 27 too and won a premiership and played in numerous finals games

And I would argue Nofa would have too if he played in the teams Morris played in

Brenko Lee has a premiership ring..who'd of thought..

And played origin

Noffo is solid NRL player, he will not reach SOO heights but a lot of players don't. If he chasing huge coin, maybe talk to Hodgo, he threw stupid money at Benji.

I've seen a lot of reports today that Nofo is very close to signing a 3yr extension at Tigers. Rumor is for about 450k/season.

$450k is very reasonable money. Would be really happy with that

yup that's about right for a clubman, shame he prostituted himself to the media as a negotiation ploy. I won't be cheering him on quite as much next year.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

If he gets 450 that’s elite money imo. He might have got winger of the year but in a losing side. Bet he would not have achieved this in a top 4 side where other players can outshine you.

Made the mistake of looking at a WT facebook group to see if there were links to the Nofo reports. Stumbled onto a thread calling for WT to sign Benji now that he's rejected Hull.

Facebook NRL is a disturbing place.

I will be doing that now after stumbling upon another thread asking whether Reynolds could be a ball playing lock.

 

[trentrunciman]

I've mentioned it before but I met him about 2 years ago at Top Ryde Shopping centre with his wife/GF and he's a great guy who loves the tigers and lives around the top Ryde area.

You could better by just leaving Facebook altogether!!

 

[twentyforty]

I really think we can’t afford Nofa, I love the guy for what he brings but I think he’s too expensive if he’s asking more than $325k. I really do.
Nofa hasn’t played rep footy or finals. Take a look at the 2 wingers chosen for the blues ahead of Nofa? Both on much less than he’s asking. JAC $375k and Tupou $220k. Our admin is on track now to deliver a well balanced cap. The horror of 2017 is well behind us now . Let’s leave it there..please?

@400 to 450K - Give him what he is asking.

This is realistic especially compared to the rubbish players that have earnt more at this club and others in recent History.

Its such a no brainer to me

Are you sure he's not asking for more?

No mate Im not,

The Tigers are percieved to be a less desirable destination than any other club in the NRL at present. .

More thann anything else I want us to be a tough club on and off the field {melb like} but this sigmals how we treat the cream of our crop.

Realistically he is good winger. He is our.best and most recognised player now.

This descission is more than 100k

We cant allow nofo to be in another teams jersey.

We can at 600K +

I like Nofo a lot but the club needs to act as a professional business. If another club wants to pay those sort of dollars I wish Nofo the best playing for them.

$400k is a really good salary for a winger. He is a good winger. I like the guy a lot. We should try and keep him. Anything above 400k should be calmly thought through in the context of the teams requirements.

At the very least - he should not have to take a paycut i.e. 450k is what he is on now.

IDK? We were a mess when we signed him for that big money. We also signed Reynolds for $850k after telling the big 4 we couldn’t afford to keep all of them. I say make it right at the first opportunity.

So, your saying give him a new contract for less money?
