Factually, I say factually - Nofo wants 600-650k a year, where has this real fact come from (and I don';t mean some Goose in the media).

Willow has said that our offer is a lot less than 500k - that is a big dollar gap. You would think if he really wants 600-650k and 4 years and we are immovable - he would have pulled out of negotiations.

I think the 600-650k is just a made up figure and half on here have fallen for it.

At best his manager has indicated but is that really Noffo.

I love the hardball stance you guys are taking. It's as if you think we can afford to shed good players. Before you start taking about offers around the 300k mark, go back and watch some games. He is an amazing meter eater and can score tries with three defenders in front of him. He is the only one in our roster who does this and you guys think we can impose any condition we want?

But a team of rugby league nomads, reformed bad boys, overpaid vets and unproven rookies are about to lead us from oblivion mate. Just ask the forum.

That's honestly the most accurate description of the Tigers, spot on.

Whenever I start to find myself hoping or expecting too much I go and look at some of the top 4 sides on paper. Superstars as far as the eye can see. Can’t we have just one?!

You need to lower your expectations mate and just relax ...

Just not my personality mate, mediocrity doesn’t cut it.

Haha. If you’re not trying to be funny , that comes across as , such a douchebag thing to say lol “You know , I get out of bed and I just piss excellence “
“If your not first you’re last “

I don't understand this not accepting mediocrity. It's really weird. So you don't accept mediocrity but you are posting on a forum about your footy team.

If you were serious you would be out there kicking goals all the time. You'd realize that you have no impact at all on the results of your footy team. Accepting mediocrity is what you are doing.

I'm no better. I could be studying hard to become the next superstar of whatever. I happy with mediocrity in my life. Personally I'll let other people go on and be superstars of whatever it is they choose to be.

Not exactly mate, going and watching WT play is my long time hobby and it’s been pretty depressing for a while. Nothing wrong with posting your feelings about the club on their forum.

Most good organisations welcome feedback from customers.

Lee on the radio this morning seems very confident about retaining Nofa. Said he won’t let Nofa play in another jersey in the NRL and wants him a Tiger for life, and Nofa feels the same. Confirms he’s been offered a contract and that they’re well into negotiations.

Not surprising, no other team would come close to his asking price. If we cave and sign him for 4 years it's a terrible move. 2 preferred, 3 absolute

3 years with the 3rd as a club option?

Yeah, I think that would be good. 3 years is a little too long imo but 4 years is crazy.

Hartigan is smart, he won’t be duped into too long a deal. They want him here for life but that shouldn’t mean he gets a long contract, his value will be down a fair way in 3-4 years time most likely.

A little disappointing to hear the club has buckled and offered a 4th year , but it is at co. If the dollars are up in the high 400s I would have preferred a 2+2@co?

But hey lets sign David because "he is a really top bloke"

“If your not first you’re last “

You do know there is a rather large area between excellence and mediocrity don’t you? It’s called the top 8.

You do realise what mediocrity means don’t you ? It means dead centre ,so really there’s only 2 levels- above average ,and elite . Also that’s a quote from a movie dude . It just had the same vibes as what you said . You’re pretty negative about things here mate .It’s not healthy to be so negative about something you supposedly love

 

[Swordy]

I have to know where some of these people get their figures.

I've heard he wants $750k

(I'm being sarcastic, so don't carry on)

 

[Swordy]

Ive heard he wants $800K

 

[Swordy]

What rubbish, he wanted $850, because he is already on $650K

 

[Geo]

Ive heard he wants $800K

Finally got there well done fox sports understands

I prefer negotiations where both sides give something based on each sides perceived value of that something. In NRL negs it seems like the player always simply puts himself up for auction and holds out until a club gets close. OK Nofa wants 4 years ? What is he prepared to sacrifice? What’s the value he places on that? The cap pie is only one size, so taking a larger slice means less for someone.

@cochise said $M1.2

So it has been said Happy....but did Noffo say it? if not. who said it?

Managers lie through their teeth, wouldn't take any notice of him it was Ayoub.

Edit: Yea Yea it's a big joke to a lot on here - I am just seriously trying to find out who said he wanted 600-650k?

i.e. Besides the media and his manager.
