Nofoaluma interview - Bloke in a Bar podcast

[twentyforty]

Does anyone know what’s happening with Nofa? Has he re-signed?

Terrible poscast series

Former player kemp swears to much and is very poor interviewer.

I could not listen for more than 14 mins

Disagree - I did feel the same a few years back.

I really like Kemp's interviews because the players are comfortable and very open. There's a lot of great insight, which is why I created a dedicated thread that's buried somewhere now. Really enjoyed the Brandon Smith one.

Doesn't need the swearing though - drags the whole thing down and it is not needed imo.

Pretty sure it would be all over the forum if he had. Not the kind of news you have to go looking for.

I enjoyed it, he’s a bit of a noffa though.

Was meant to be a Xmas present by the club to supporters, the fact the club couldn’t pull it off suggests Nofo is moving on....

The club didn't come out with a statement like that though did it? I never heard any promises like that to fans, not saying they didn't though.

Loathe to say this,but eels advised a couple of months ago that Ferguson's $500k contract finishing next year wont be renewed....and suprisingly they werent interested in JAC to replace him.
Reckon theyve already got their(our) man for 2022....hence WT ongoing interest in mansour
Hope Im wrong...but as somebody once said "it is what it is"......

You would think the slim would have announced it by now if that is the case

Just wondering why he’s taking so long? He did the same thing in 2017. He’s appears to be wanting to go to the Eels?

Gotta give him the benefit of the doubt..and its quite possible that hes already advised WT who have kept it quiet to leverage their negotiations with a replacement..
But if hes doing a Woods/Tedesco and simply stuffing us around having already made his decision he will leave on the same note they did

Plenty of better wingers available for 2022 than Mansour. Sivo, Tupou, Coates, Ferguson, Edrick Lee, Okunbor. If we’re looking for a winger for then hopefully it ain’t Mansour

Could be holding off negotiations until he sees how we go this year on field but wouldn’t bet on it

His agent may have advised to hold off until more dominoes fall. Would be interesting to know what the Tigers offer was? But would appear there are no bidders above that mark? His value drops when you look at his history under the high ball and his choices in D. However, his try highlights real is impressive with a few of them a result of knowing what his golfing buddy was going to do. Sometimes not an easy task.

Can someone clarify around the last few posts please?

1) Where is it that WT have ongoing interest in Mansour? I've seen and read the opposite.
2) Where was it mentioned that Nofo would be a Christmas signing, and it hasn't happened so he must be gone?

Just trying to wort the facts

Swordy, sorry mate no can do. Can you copy and paste quote? It would help to clarify what you’re gripe is ?

Good sources said we were in talks with Mansour (journos from the SMH) but he wanted 3 years and we only offered 2. It was then reported we pulled out of signing him but that was a while ago, who knows what’s going on

Pascoe mentioned it would be good to have the deal done with Nofa before Christmas but it wasn’t a promise

 

[Swordy]

Thanks guys. I see a lot come on this forum that is really stretching the facts, and then it takes a life of its own. I thought Chairman Lee had stated somewhere that Mansour wasn't really an option.

I certainly trust him more than some journos getting around.

i'm not panicking about Nofo. I'd like him to stay but if he moves on, I wish him well.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I'd say he is heading to Parra and we are waiting on a replacement so told him and parra not to announce anything yet
