David Nofoaluma #164

With it being 4 years, I’m assuming the dollars can’t be too much. Surely hartigan wouldn’t sign him for big money and four years, he seems smarter than that, unless he was pushed by Lee or some other higher up to do it.

Hartigan did not sign him the chairman did !the good old days are back .

I have seen Nofoalama play fullback in his under 20 team with the club. The bonus is that he is quite a safe fullback with speed, capable of filling that position if the need arises. With the wingers we have signed/likely to sign this season he could easily find himself playing fullback when the need arises.

Do you mean SG Ball...?

Not true..

 

[Speed2burn]

Only tigers fans could complain about signing a guy who visibly shows his passion for the club and breaks his backside every week for us , lol

Some leaks I have heard are 450k a year with the 4th year a club option

I believe that is alright business if true

At least at fullback he will not leave his winger unmarked.
Would be good if Madge gave him a go at fb for round 1

You can't understand that there would be some reservations around the length of the contract? Look at the recent past, how have these big contracts worked out for the club.

Add to that, look at Nofa's form. One good season. One. The club is not locking in a time proven, consistent player. They are locking in a bloke with one good season.

Passion is great, finals is better. I support Wests Tigers. Every decision the club makes has to be with the soul purpose of getting better.

Anyways, its done now. Let's hope Nofa repays the faith and expands on last season.

Everyone has a value. We didn’t want to sign a heavily subsidised Mansour because he was 30, and past his best. Nofo is 27 now, by the time the contract is up he will be very nearly 32. If it’s $450k a year for the length of the contract, it isn’t smart.This is a high risk signing.

Great news!

@Jedi_Tiger and @Pawsandclaws will be thrilled!

really happy @weststigerman especially the 4 year deal very exciting....
it is lovely we can resign nofo to a nice long 4 year contract his defence has always been rock solid.

Give it a rest. He's been offered a fair deal and that's all that matters.

One good season, or just one season where he was given accolades of winger of the year?

If you look at his stats, he is in the top 5 for tackle busts and dummy half run meters in the comp nearly every year.

I am not basing my opinion on passion btw, I truly think he is a great winger

 

[JC99]

He’ll only be 31 end of his deal. For $400k-$450k a season that’s not bad - it’s not like his best attributes will decline rapidly with age. He’ll still be a good finisher and he’ll still be a strong runner of the footy, speed ain’t an issue cause he’s not fast anyway 😂

A bit more than that, but I too understand the 4th year is club option.

 

[JC99]

If it is a club option I’m sure it’ll say so on the tigers website, they’ve shown all the other contracts with club options so I assume they’ll do the save

Some people just hate Nofo, I don’t get it either

 

[sleeve]

I think now that David is signed, we can go harder to bring in another top line player with the $ that are left
I still like the idea of B Smith, McInnes or Crichton to join our forward pack
Luai in the halves
Crichton or Staggs to the centres
Fullback is a hard one but perseverance with Mbye until Laurie gets here, but even so another fullback option would be nice

Yeah,I like all of them,but Luai has said he was staying.Regards the others we will compete wit at least 10 other clubs.Will be happy to get one,if two i would be ecstatic.

is the 4th year a club option ?

Christ some people are unbelievable. 31 is not over the hill for an NRL player unless their body is breaking down. I swear this site is full of 12 year olds sometimes. It’s a good deal.

for a half it is not old for a winger maybe it is. Look at penrith moving mansour in to bring in young Staines

Morris twins say hi. Both very good outside backs still and they are like 35 lol

Agree. 31 isn’t old as all. In fact in majority of sports 31 is still in your prime lol. He’ll be fine at 31
