Nofoaluma interview - Bloke in a Bar podcast

[avocadoontoast]

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"......

They’d have announced it if they had.

Not if they think they're still a chance to get him for 2021. They may have signed him for 2022 already.

Think hes on $450k with us for 2021 so unlike Matterson/ Aloai no need for a dummy spit from Nofa....

He's not on that much.

Do you think Nofo will resign Willow or do you think he's a chance to move on?

Honestly don't know. From what I and others on here have heard he's been offered a fair deal and it's more than he's currently on. If he thinks he can earn 500k plus elsewhere then he'll probably go. Don't know of any club offering that though.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

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

Nope

 

[momo_amp_medo]

I think he will stay.
And I’m really split on that outcome ..... I like the guy, his attacking skill and his passion for our club.
But in defence he remains our weak link and I’m disappointed that after so many years as a first grade winger he just can’t seem to get his head around how to defend as a high class wing 3/4. And THAT is why he will not get a sniff of SOO jersey until that deficiency in his game is rectified.

Addo-Carr is hardly a rock in defence. Putting our leaking defence solely on Nofoaluma is wrong.

That was a media quote,and we all know theyre always 100% accurate at all times!
Point is still valid..hes very well paid,and.unlikely to be a significant $$ upside to agitate to leave early ...(big gulp)..hopefully
Hes the only genuine NRL quality winger we have atm

The problem with both our wingers defence started in the middle. They were often left in a no-win two on one situation. Come in early and leave you opponent unmarked or stay out on your opponent and the inside man just runs past you. With the changes made to the squad hopefully that situation has now changed.

If Nofa leaves I doubt it’s for money, it would be to play finals. Reports are we’re offering him $400k+, who else would honestly offer him more then that?

For any difference above what WT have offered Nofa, I just can't see any real benefit to him so late in his career.
For whatever $$$ gain, he loses the mate-ship of the Wests Tigers players as one of their own, the loss of fan support gained over many years, and the rare chance to be a one club player.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

If he leaves he will most likely play semi finals

 

[Cairnstigers]

If he leaves he will most likely play semi finals

So will we

 

[TonyTiger]

Now you can see why Mbye is the captain...speaks well,has some smarts and represents the club well in interviews...he may also come good in 2021 if injury free..Noffa mustnt have gone to school much,if he did he must have wagged English classes...his eloqution is as bad as his defense..

At least Nofoaluma has a heart, Mbye is following The Yellow Brick Road

hope so we haven't for a long time mate

at least Mmbye has played state of origin, David has not

You may be right? He has never said he wanted to play FB 😆
I don’t know if Nofa is happy at WT now that Benji is gone? Those two had a combo going.
