Both good questions.What do we get outta this deal.... And why is there nothing on WTs official site?
Just another haterOr maybe he gets the respect he deserves....
100k salary cap saving this year. Allegedly.Both good questions.
Not sure about that. I think they'd have to be well under this year anyway.100k salary cap saving this year. Allegedly.
Good luck to David Nofoaloma at Storm .I happen to think he's been one of our best for many years and now all the guys spewing out all the hate mail on this forum are happy . Our top try scorer and a good finisher with good hands and safe under high ball . This year he got very little ball and suspect maybe Jacko didn't like him but I'm just guessing anyway he's gone and hopefully Kepoa ,Toa and JTJ will be good .Good test against broncos I sincerely hope they pass it
So many tigers cop it on this forum .Seems once your on the outer the vitriol never ceases
100%He gets far more criticism than he deserves imo,there is no doubt he has deficiencies in parts of his game but much of the flak he gets is because of the bigger failings of his inside defenders.Undoubtedly his current contract is for too long/cost but that is on a certain chairman who intervened to keep him at the club.
I don’t think it’s Brooks thats gone. It’s more like HastingsI’m guessing Brooks is gone, in a case of out with the oldest players and in with the new guard . The WT are finally making the hard decisions . I hope we keep this mentality going forward. If they can’t crack it for a new contract, I don’t care if there locals, they have to go. These things always have to happen a lot sooner than 8 years in most cases.
Latest from an inside source close to the situation; 'A' and 'B' defenders are very happy at this news.
Brooks and Nofa have been here for most of the finals drought so they are heavily targeted, but as you said the perception of him can be that he's arrogant. I saw him at my gym a couple of times while he was out with concussion, he didn't exactly hit the weights with the energy I'd expect from a professional athlete but again that's just a perception.It's weird about Nofo - he should be reasonably well respected, despite a negative defensive reputation, he certainly can score, he has played many games and he clearly displays passion for the club and jersey (e.g. when he re-signed during the "Big 4" fiasco).
On the other hand, something about him does rub people up the wrong way. He does appear to go about his business not just in a passionate, but perhaps a seemingly arrogant way. Nobody seems particularly upset that he's basically been dropped for a number of weeks or otherwise been absent from the side.
Nobody seems particularly fussed that he's having a stint in Melbourne.
Which begs the question, is this indifference deserved, or not? Fans don't turn on players for no reason.
