IMHO. he, and **Nofoaluma** would look great anywhere else except the WT!

? General consensus.

You might upset his 1 (singular) fan with that statement though.

I thought that Nofo held some kind of try scoring record for WT. Most tries for the club? Surely he cannot be the worst winger in the NRL?

doesn't help when he let's then in more often than not per game

It's never his fault, it's those pesky A and B defenders. Hate those guys

Yeah i mean he really should be tackling all 3 opposition players he is left defending because Luch and Douehi consistently took absolutely no one

Yeah the record for letting most tries in. #NotoNoffa

Aaah yes #someone else's fault
the catch cry of the Nofoaluma fan club
the bloke scores some great tries but no matter what centres and forwards we have had it is the same result a defensive Dud
If he could defend he would have played origin in 2020

If Noffo and Benji werent in the team together for so long....maybe we would of finished better than nineth and played finals....one is a club icon that cant defend and the other is a junior who lays blame on everyone else to cover his short comings...
funny how the team had many good chances but seem to have let the other team score the final victory points in so many games with poor defense at times....
hope the squad watch heaps of how not to play the game during the offseason and start to learn to do their job as a UNIT and not put hands on hips or blame the other guys most of the time...

He's been doing the same thing for 9 years - long before those two were playing inside him.

True to an extent, granted that Luciano and AD could not be accused of being the greatest defenders, but they have only been around for a relatively short time and Luciano hasn't always been on the right hand side of the field.

The fact of the matter is that our right hand defense has been atrocious for a very long time and the one constant in all that time has been Noffo. Granted that it is not always conclusive that he alone is to blame, but he has shown often enough that his defensive reads are not all that good in many instances.
 
I don't mind starting the season with Jimmy inside of Mamaulo, but he and Nofo cannot play next to each other under any circumstance.

He’s the best finisher we’ve ever had.

Tuaki or lote. Both better imo

I disagree. It’s a shame that he’s despised so much for his defence that people can’t actually see how good he is close to the line with the ball in hand.

He’s actually a good defender ie. strong , good lateral movement etc. his issue is he goes for the glory play , and rarely plays the percentages . It’s a bit indicative of his personality if you think about it , he’s always struck me as a mug lair .
Whereas the Morris boys , always seemed to play the percentages, as an example . They’re no frills defence. Just wait for the attacking team to stuff up. Nofa seems to want to force the issue , shooting in , intercepts etc.
It would be hard to coach I reckon . You want that cocky confidence, in fact you need it, but it’s the same thing that leads to hero plays .

Tuaki was easily the best finisher we have ever had. Yes Nofa can finish a try off and would be up there with our best finishes but his work in defence is poor and has to be taken into account when judging him.

He's been bad for so long. If he was decent he would have been a blue. Nsw have chopped and changed their wings for years.
If he was in another side, he wouldn't have had as long a career

If we are going for biggest ever defeat it’s worth a shot. A record is a record.
