Madge in the press conference today was just asked if a Nofo swap would be on, he shut it down very quickly with "not a chance in the world"

It's media beat up, Nof isn't going anywhere. Bring on a back line of JAC and Nofo !!


One of the most ridiculous rumours I have ever heard - swap Nofo for JAC - never in a million years!!!

We want to add players to build the team not swap out - anyone who believed that..... fffftttpppp

it would undermine bringing JAC here if he did that.....

This isn't our situation to finesse...it's the Storm's to sort out


Its actually not. JAC is under contract for next year and they have told him he can go to Sydney **IF** they get a suitable replacement.

If they dont, JAC plays for the Storms next year. Nothing to sort out for Storms.

and if he signs for us for the year after we lose nothing....storm won't want some fringe first grader....they'll want keys to the castle


Well we do lose the use of JAC and opportunity to have a stronger playing roster for next year. Storms lose nothing, they have JAC next year and another year to purchase whoever they want to replace him.

question would be what would be worth giving up for him next year? They asked for talau and we said no....whispers of nofa and we said no.....For one year earlier what would the price that we would be willing to pay? And I know people are going to say reynolds/packer etc but let's be realistic.....

They can loan Momorovski for another 12 months and we get Addo-Carr to keep
Think of it as good will

If they want Talau we will swap with Grant

How does them apples look

Before you have a go at me about the apples comment, it is a phrase from a movie

There is a cryptic clue there for you guys who can't guess the movie

Im sold, where do I sign.

Good to hear, I am sure Nofa would have liked to hear the coach endorse him as well

It's not our problem to give the storm a player. JAC is being released. That is the end of the issue.

True, but the storm release is conditional to them finding a replacement, doesn't have to be swap, the player can come from anywhere

That's right. A suitable replacement can come from anywhere, not necessarily the team JAC signs with.

This is where the nrl need to get more pro- active with player movement. Why can't there be a multi team swap? Of course players would need to agree. It could suit all clubs involved if the sign a player in position of need.

Example:

JAC to tigers
Dwz to storm (seems on the outer at bulldogs)
Mbye/reynolds to bulldogs (foran and Blake green injured)

Again, players and salary would need to work out, but this would be a win for all clubs involved.

Thoughts?

I know the movie, but never understood the reference.

This phrase is often used as a way to mock or tease someone after gaining some kind of victory over them. It’s similar to the expression “stick that in your pipe and smoke it!”

It supposedly originated during the first World War, when the Allies’ anti-tank grenade was colloquially called a “toffee apple” because of its bulb-like appearance on a stick. The phrase was a taunt against the enemy.

Thank you, I have wondered about that for a long time.

That would be suitable for us but Bellamy has already stamped Moirovski’s forehead as RETURN TO SENDER’
- Aust Post have been notified of the pick up.

Blues coach Brad Fittler names six young-gun bolters in Origin mix

No mention of Nofa. In fact Campbell Graham who I would argue is worse defensively could get the nod on the wing.

That will hurt his ego.

Don't get me wrong, I like Nofa but he's not as close to rep level as he seems to think he is. Love his confidence though.

Not good enough in the air and not good enough defensively, both things are very important in origin. If he keeps playing the way he is next season and beyond he’ll get the call up eventually

He’ll probably be in the extended squad somewhere but won’t get a run

Nofo also isn't a "young gun", he's 26 already, 27 at end of the year. Zac Lomax is about to turn 21. Ramien is 23, Staggs is 21, Paps is 22. Best is 19.

Exactly right. Doesn’t even need to involve us.

JAC tigers
DWZ storms
Staines/burton canterburys

I also saw a report today manly are interested in Luke Garner. We have back rowers and would free up some salary cap.

Release garner and offer Elijah Taylor a 12 month extension.

Tigers get JAC
Manly get Garner
Melbourne get a manly winger ("suitable replacement " for JAC.)

 

[Needaname]

Nofoaluma just made Wendel Sailors top 5 outside backs for 2020!

what an accolade....a thumbs up from cokey the clown.....

The fact the storm want him in a straight swap for JAC would be his true worth....

That's not the smart move, not with re-signing Taylor anyway. Better off going after Hetherington.
