Nofo injury

[jadtiger]

You are correct. He is the main whipping boy on here but most of the defensive issues come from bad reads from players inside him

 

[TheDaBoss]

Would u call this a wake up call?

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Defence in the middle collapsing is nofos fault

 

[larrycorowa]

Mine too. He gets blamed for every defensive issue on his side of the field.

 

[sheer64]

Wish him all the best in a speedy recovery. Hope he studies Twals tackling technique over and over.

 

[Masterton]

I don't think we even copped a hiding when he was in the side last year.

Some of my very 1st posts on here are me talking him up, and his chances playing rep football. I don't care about dirty hit-ups, his game hasn't developed 1 iota. He never stays square in D - how he sets himself & paddles sideways is painful to watch. Mark you opposite number on the wing - thats your job. Esan Marsters doesn't need any help!. Esan has his faults also, but teams haven't been scoring through his centre channel, they've been scoring on Nofa's left wing going on 3 seasons now. Nofa makes the D line anxious - this isn't even debatable IMO

He was not in my starting side so not disappointed.

Everyone called for JAC to get dropped because of his supposed defensive issues…lol

The only issue with Nofoaluama is the fact he is loyal to the club.

He should be become an elite winger at a club like the Storm or Roosters...

 

[Danny Blanco]

Welcome back Milky.
Hope he gets well soon

 

[jadtiger]

You are completely missing the point i did not say it was Marsters at fault.The miss reads are stemming from the edge of the ruck and getting compounded as it goes further across to the wing(both wings).
As far as staying on his wing is concerned what do you want him to do, leave a 20 metre gap between him and Marsters so the opposition can pour through the hole and undoubtedly get crucified on here and by his coach by failing to support his centre as he should be doing
He is not without his faults but he is getting the blame for at least 3 people inside him getting defensive reads wrong.The problem starts on the edge of the RUCK imo and players inside him are scrambling and failing well before it gets to him.
The problem gets larger as it goes further across field a little mistake at the edge of the ruck becomes a massive problem by the time it gets out wide.No winger can mark 2- 3 players succesfully all the time

 

[Danny Blanco]

Yep, Benji's reads are concerning @ times too

 

[jadtiger]

I share your frustrations about our defence and hope we get it right quickly

Collapse the middle score on the edges..Rugby League 101

 

[Harvey]

Apparently his defence was terrible against the Warriors, but Thompson's was worthy of ab educational video.

Both Warriors wingers scored 2 tries.

Our go forward will suffer with Thompson & Mbye returning kicks. I can see us spending a fair bit of time inside our own 30.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Let's not pretend that it will wipe him for the year.

If whomever steps in does not do a better job, he will get his spot back.

 

[Fraze23]

Defence in the middle collapsing is nofos fault

No, but rushing 15m infield and having an airswing is Nofo's fault.

 

[Newtown]

Looking at his play during the trial match I am very sure that he was playing whilst injured.

 

[balmain boy]

He must have injured his shoulder while diving through the air attempting to make tackles. No loss, this lineup is much more solid.

Mbye out this weekend…....
