Noffa and McQueen to start in ISP
- Thread starter GNR4LIFE
- Start date
All over the SMH and Fox NRL sites now. McQueen in reggies is no surprise, but Noffa certainly is. Maybe it is due to a disciplinary action, not just that Ivan is unhappy with his defence. If so I wonder what he's done? Anyone know?
Well this will throw Tui into the mix and I suppose we'll all see if he's up to it at fullback or not.

Trouble is, anyone who watched him last season knows he needs to defend better. Presumably that would have been the focus for him for the off-season. Can only assume that not much improvement has been noted, and that raises the question as to whether improvement will ever come??
When did happen…?

we speculate too much - just wait till the official team list is rolled out… I trust the coach.

Nofa played injured for the best part of 20 rounds last year to help the team. What culture is being built?
Apparently training and trial form are the only grounds for selection, therefore expect Taylor, Twal, Sue and Marshall are all out of contention for round 1.
Unless there is another teachers pet criteria

Yep. I'd say IF Nofo has been demoted it would most probably be disciplinary, hopefully it is anyhow. Because if it is because of his defensive shortcomings then what the hell have Nofo and our defensive coaches been doing for the past 5 months. If he hasn't learnt by now he never will and that is a huge concern considering we have signed him up long-term.

Its not like he's dropped Mansour or Holmes.
He shouldn't be a walk up start every week, If he thinks he is then this must be the kick up the backside he needs.

Clearys no dope,
Nofa would have been picked in first grade if he was up to what Ivan expects,
previous Coaches would have let him be sloppy about some facets of playing( probably defence) simply because
They thought that they didn’t have anyone as good to replace him.
I’m glad that this has happened, with LoLo , whose been lazy and out of condition, for much of his time in the gameand With Nofa whose defence looks like cheesecloth at some times.
The best thing is he didn’t wait and wait for half a season for these blokes to be chopped, it’s a pity that there was none of that attitude here for the last few years
Some of these blokes have got away with crook attitudes towards hard work, for too long.
Looks like half an effort is no longer enough.
