i think the criticism of Nofoaluma is starting to get a little over the top. Don't get me wrong, he has his faults and absolutely is over payed but some of "the never play first grade again" and "gotta go no matter how much we have to contribute" takes are to far.
Yes his numbers were terrible on the weekend but he is still putting up about 125m/game this season. A season he has played outside Wakeham for the majority of.
I would be shocked if he isn't booked in for shoulder surgery from the injury suffered in the Cowboys game. His involvement has been decreasing ever since. Im sure the if he isn't fit he shouldn't be out there line will get trundled out, but who can take his place?
And yes i agree His defence is below average. But not half as bad as the forum makes it out to be. There is no inside pressure from the forwards and a terrible defensive half and centre inside him. He is often left with a 3 on 1, lose/lose situation.
Would I be happy if he moved on? Yes.
Would I be accepting of the club paying some of his wage to do so? Yes, pending how much and who we replace him with.
Do I think he is the best winger on our books? Sadly, yes.
