Nofa can do some good things in attack but he is one of the worst edge defenders I have ever seen play. The sooner he is out of the team the better. Jennings cops a lot of flack on here but I am yet to see him make one error so far
He doesn't make any errors, because he doesn't do anything!
He is a BLUDGER!!! of the highest order.
I believe the AFP have had him under surveillance for 18 months now - they are about to swoop and charge him with fraud.
Pretending to be a footballer.
Bludger? He makes well over 100 metres every game. He does his job. Good defender good under the high ball. He is in no way a ‘bludger’.
Jennings v Knights 72m.....Nofoaluma 202m..
180 meters was Nofoluma giving chase
You can't count that
I don't know why so many defend Nofoluma when Nofoluma can't defend himself
So many tries are scored down his side
When there is one there always seem to be 2 or 3 more
It always appears to be the go to side for attacking teams
Nofoluma has an uncanny ability to make himself look bad and other teams single him out
Edrik Lee had a field day
So did Jason Nightingale a few years back
It was a carbon copy and I would say that Newcastle watched the tape of that game and many others to catch Nofoluma out
If someone can get the stats on how many tries have been let in down our right hand edge when Nofoluma plays I think it would provide some insight to his defence
Especially against kicks
I think anyone would find it hard to find a worse defender on the wing then Nofoluma
With similar amount of games under thier belt
We have all said it
Defence wins games
Not defending him but...
You can't blame him for all tries scored down his side though.
I don't blame him for all but he does play a big part in the defensive failures
Just on the Newcastle game is an interesting stat or two
Post contact meters
Nofoluma 33
Jennings 32
But
Nofoluma had 16 Runs
Jennings had 10 runs
Both had 3 tackle busts
Nofoluma had more opportunity
In the tackling department it was
Jennings 13
Nofoluma 4
Some other missed tackle stats for the game
I
Those missed tackles for Walters can be fixed easily through experience.... was crappy game for nofo overall and BJ
How can they be fixed with experience .....he can't ask his old man ...he couldn't tackle either ...Unca Steve ...Unca Steve ...how do you tackle
Yeah I am always hesitant when I see people say players can improve fundamental skills. Someone suggested Josh Reynolds just needs to work on his passing. These guys train for a living, have been in NRL structures for a number of years, played all their lives. Walters problem is he is small and just gets bumped off a bit, its not his technique. Same when he dropped it twice vs Saints, its just a size thing.
