No great loss if he goes, the $500k could be better spent imo.

But top line players are off us Avo, losing Nofa is just another example if it happens. no use having a truck load of money/space when your image with the best players is mud.

I don't believe Nofa leaving would be a sign top line players are off us. It would be a sign he thought he was worth more than the club was willing to pay.

It ain’t just money mate, you’ve said it yourself it’s about winning footy games.

That is not why Nofa would be leaving though, he actually has an overinflated belief in his ability. He believes he is worth more than we are offering and also is of the the belief he should have made the SOO team based on his form.

I would argue that if Nofa goes to a Souths team that we know uses its wingers well in attack, he’d be playing well in a top 4 side and would in all likelihood be picked for rep duties. He is probably right, his star would rise at those clubs. Look, I love WT but if we’re honest about our plot, we’re still miles off where we want to be.

His defence is not strong enough to play SOO.

Put him in a side that’s not constantly under the pump because if it’s own ineptitude and see how he does.

 

[Speed2burn]

I think souffs might be a bit too tempting for Nofa, unfortunately think he may go

hope you are right speed2burn

I mean I’d prefer if we keep him but wouldn’t be too distressed if he left

He make poor decisions in defense, yes he is more likely to make them under pressure, but the pressure he will face in origin is greater than anything he faced. He would be a disaster at origin, very similar to the disaster Merrett was at that level.

I doubt that he ever gets picked for Origin no matter who he plays for.

 

[cochise]

I am also a fan of Nofa and want him to stay, but only at the right price and we shouldn't be pressured into overpaying.

We will see, I haven’t seen him play with an origin level centre or second rower before, I’m sure you know defence on the edges is about teamwork.

 

[Moh]

One good thing about Nofa potentially leaving is that finally a lot of you would realise just how important he is to our team.

I just can't see him leaving. Definitely hoping he stays.

I'm sure we will be ok ....
we survived Teddy leaving
the sky will not fall in if David leaves

Oh no doubt, there's not a player in our current squad that will bother me that much if they were to leave.

But Nofa is more valuable than a lot of people seem to think.

Of course it is, but on to many occasions I have seen him make poor decisions regardless of what people inside him have done. He often ends up between players in no mans land when the centre is covered. He also goes for the intercept far too often.

Him leaving will have zero impact on our position on the ladder

You could say that about almost any winger.

Yes he is, but that doesn't mean we can overpay that value.

I do not disagree.

 

[Magpieger]

I hope we can reach a favourable agreement with Nof, I don't want to see him gone.
His intense passion and pride for the jersey have always been on display, every game.
This stems from him being a local junior and having that connection to one team that represents his locality.
That's the tribalism the game was built on and has slowly been eroded with the increased professionalism and business-like nature of the game.
We need that at our club and hopefully it plays some part in him easing off his asking price.
Good luck to him if someone else pays his asking price, but if we can get close enough without going overboard, its worth it.

When we played melbourne late in the year , JAC absolutely schooled Nofoaluma and it wasn’t even close. I think that is the difference in class and it’s quite significant

Unless he ever plays with a NSW SOO centre ...someone he feels confortable with

Let’s be honest, teams still hide their weaker defenders on the wings. I’ve also cursed him plenty of times but I was cursing the big unit from the Roosters in origin too. I don’t think Nof is perfect but he’s one of the guys on our side who often outperforms his opponent. In my mind we can’t keep letting these ones leave.

 

[cktiger]

Souths can have him. I'd happily take AlexJohnston in a swap seeing they cut his wages. Young Corey Allen they let go to the Dogs is better too.

Don't have much of a choice if they are asking well above their value.
