Personally I’d rather read about our coaches setting higher standards than a million fluff pieces about how much we’re going to improve with all our kids.

They wrote those articles last off season. 200 passes etc

Dear Mr Nofoaluma

Did those bad men hurt your dedicate feelings oh i am so upset for you. You overpaid overhyped winger. Grow up if you do not like the treatment leave pure and simple buy out your contract or negotiate a release Figure with the club and leave. On your way out stop in the treatment room go to the fridge and find your balls get them attached and find another club. But please understand you are 30 years old and your game has taken a step or three sideways.​

Wow that’s harsh. I would have just said learn to tackle, but ok…

 

[Tom Shines]

just pay the 85% of his deal and move him on …

I think he has played his last NRL game for the Tigers…

what a terrible deal …the amount but particularly the length of the contract

 

[tiger_one]

Somebody sees the writing on the wall.
Leaked?
Just has to be his management.

 

[twentyforty]

Looking for positives…Nofa played in all 4 wins in 23.

Something’s not right in this. You go straight to the RLPA when you get pushed hard at training? If your numbers are down you do the work to get back up there. If you can’t keep up and train at first grade level you are probably done. We don’t hear of this sort of thing going to the RLPA. Maybe it doesn’t get reported. Why now?

I don’t know. It’s a foolish way to break contract. It doesn’t sound like we know the whole story yet.

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

Everything.

Paid a shy non-dominant halfback a million dollars over a long term because they panicked when all his mates left.

Paid a winger with clear attitude problems half a million dollars over five years.

And the decision makers didn’t get the arse.

wasn't his form state of origin like level when we re-signed him i think he was unstoppable with the ball in his hands
i think a lot of clubs were after him too
so i can see why they paid him

 

[hammertime]

This is straight from the Ryan Matterson playbook. Do they share the same Manager?

 

[You Know Who]

Just another chapter to the Nofo book.

To the fools trying to passively defend this arrogant prick, let’s look at the history:

- dropped by multiple premiership winning coaches for poor attitude and form
- has responded by blaming others and claiming he’s not a reserve grader rather than taking accountability
- publicly blames his teammates on social media for his defensive lapses
- has rocked up to training hungover on more than one occasion
- his form has dropped significantly since he got his 500K contract courtesy of nepotism from Lee
- publicly said Benji [This word has been automatically removed]ing Marshall needs to regain the respect of the players

You add this latest story and it all but confirms that he is a team cancer and has been for a while.

Like another poster said, he is the last of the deadwood and needs to be cleared out.

This has been ongoing for a while (Nofa’s dissatisfaction). Benji had a talk to him earlier in the year and for a few games Nofa looked good, stopped running backwards, did some dirty hit ups, jumped for highballs etc and looked like he was enjoying his footy. but it didn’t last long.
He’s now listed on the nrl site as 177cm & 95kg.
looks to me like Benji has been getting tips from Wayne, and Nofa not happy.

Maybe you can explain it better than he did then. What does this mean? Is there no other deadwood in this team?

 

[Pascoes_barber]

What’s that say about the club?

Probably indicates the chairman shouldn't be interfering with player contracts.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Probably indicates the chairman shouldn't be interfering with player contracts.

So 3 finals appearances in almost 25 years. No thoughts about what that says about the club?

 

[crazycat]

Well if it’s last Wednesday he needs a rocket jammed right up his clacker or go play reserves or find a new team , it’s piss pour

Actually how powerful is that rocket? He could actually go over the try line a little more with added Rocket up Clacker power! At least not be outrun by all the new wingers.

We suck and are poorly run? What's your point? Nofo hasn't played for 25 years (though I'm sure Lee would love to offer a contract of that length).

 

[GNR4LIFE]

My point is you seem to blaming our failings squarely on him,

 

[Pascoes_barber]

I am? Squarely on him?

[citation needed]

I think you have me confused with someone else you wanted to start an argument with. Good luck with that.

 

[Masterton]

Benji: Righto blokes, we're running a drill here where we isolate the opposition centre. Not you, Nofa. You're still in fat club.
Nofa, eyes bulging in anger: This will not stand.
