Is this legit? Please tell me that's a fake blue tick?

Surely an NRL footballer isn't defending his performance and putting crap on his teammates on Twitter after a performance? Surely?

If thats really him, for that alone he should be dropped.

Can his contract be torn up for that
?

I agree with others' assessment that Nofa is more of the problem than the solution. And, his arrogance and smugness wouldn't help team morale or cohesion. That tweet (if true) is a prime example of it; deflecting blame to his team mates and not accepting his role in yet another defeat. He seems to live in an alternate universe where is ego is emboldened and the truth is whatever he wants it to be.

That tweet if true will cause major disharmony within the team
So for that alone he should be dropped
You cat have players blaming others in the team in a public forum or tweet
I hope that tweet was fake
But unfortunately even if it is the damage has been done

Yet the week before Mr Tamou on live TV said pretty much the same…

It was right after the game and he didn’t name anyone. Nofo went onto social media hours later and threw his teammates under the bus.

A & B and Moses ?

Got Moses right at least..

He isnt wrong though. Being left exposed against 2 or 3 players isnt the fault of rhe winger. The issues are in the middle not on the edge. Mbye, Leilua and the prop and lock in the middle. They didnt do their job in the middle and by then it was all over didnt matter what the outside guys do. People who dont understand footy think because they score on the wing its the wingers fault. Thats not how defence works - you win in the middle. Fault for those trues lies with the inside men. Nofa was against 2-3 players what was he expected to do tackle all 3 at once

I believe it’s beyond our middle. Our middle players are just plugging gaps. It’s the guys on the blind side of the field that think their job is done because the ball isn’t going to come there way. If they were to push across even half a metre and stay alive we’d be a lot tighter on the edges.
Some players have this will to fight for every bone. Players like that would be pushing the middle further across and making it harder for the defence to find holes. We either don’t have those players or we don’t have the understanding of the structures across the line to identify how important presenting a solid line to the opposition is.
I’m not Nofo so I will call out one Lucy. I don’t think he is disinterested I just think he is not able to go the distance and tries to find little opportunities to take short cuts so that he can stay out longer.
This is the kind of methodology that Payten was implying with JT. Everyone sees what he does with the ball but no one asks how can a guy that is in the heavyweight class can stay out that long?
Btw Lucy is 114kg. That is not fit.

Payten was pointing out the short cuts he took in D when he became tired and how it looked from their best player to all the talented back rowers / forwards they have

The middle needs to cut the post contact metres and do everything in their power to get an attacker on his back ...on his side ...not facing straight on ......every millisecond they can save keeps your defence on the front foot

That starts all of our problems in D ....the post contact metres make our defence compress and then Brooks ,Garner , Roberts and LL ,Douehi and Mbye get isolated or stretched to the extremes ....then it just a simple case of an attacker getting on his opposites outside and then it curtains

It is the case of either an offload, a break or extra post contact metres are made when we are defending. It all starts with our first contact. And I wouldn’t say I’ve seen one player bounce out of the line, square up to the attack and hit and drive.
We are passive, we wait, we hook and we drag.

Press conference will be interesting. I mean South clocked off in the second half really. They still were such a better team.

A few have said "Souffs clocked off in the second half" - maybe they did, I don't think so.

Good teams do not clock off - haven't seen Storm or the Riff clock off.

Beat ourselves in the first half and I think Souffs were outplayed in the second half, even with the help of that "Impostor" Atkins.

Slight improvement from the Storm game, but a long way to go.

The sideline female (name escapes me) said that Bennett actually said to his team, keep the foot on there throat and have a score to nil?

Agree and his comments only highlight the deeper issues in the team with defence and possibly trust in teammates.
The tweet however ironically says more about the person. A player is getting somewhat harassed online over a game performance, so it's nothing but a classic case of cyberbullying and toxic masculinity.

 

[Tigertragic83]

I think someone before said that a lot if our defensive issues are caused by our second rowers, and in watching the game again it's scarily accurate.

Whenever we got the ball we had either edge backrower from south Sydney jamming in and making heavy first contact. We were lucky to get 15 metres in some sets

Come tigers time to defend there is literally 0 first contact from the edge, which allows souffs to dig into the line and then strip is for numbers out wide

Surprise surprise blore comes on in the second half and just loves the contact and suddenly our defence stiffens right up

It's not rocket science. Noffa Is a moron for spouting it on social media, but it's not far off the mark

 

[voice_of_reason]

It's apparent from watching this year that Lucy isn't an 80 minute player. There are times in a game where he's out on his feet with fatigue.

He's a big lump and doesn't have great lateral movement when fresh - as he tires he become a liability who is easily targeted. When this happens the trust in the line is gone so other players are scrambling to plug the gaps.

Inevitably you end up with overlaps on the wings and we concede points. It's not only Lucy but he stands out when reviewing games - teams will have him on their tip sheet. I like Garner but he has moments of weakness too.

AD is similar but generally not from fatigue, he's just has feet of clay.

Our forwards - as individuals - look decent on paper. They're just not working as a group.

Just watched the highlights. Any reason why after souths scored we played "glory glory" at Leichardt? Pretty poor.

They didn’t, Fox play a sound for each team after they score.

Doesn’t actually get played at the ground.

Why worry about what tune they played at LO and saying that it is poor....have you not noticed the players performance on our home turf...

If the song is disrespectful in your eyes ....so is the Tigers team with their performance...

Maybe they should play the old Beatles song at LO for our team when the opposition score...
""Its called HELP I NEED SOMEBODY""
