Nofaluma on $525k this season and next season, not sure about 2025.
Nice round $10k a week !

Nofo to bring the superman try back ! I'll be hoping this team play the 80 and keep it close. I was mentally building for a round 10 win but after the Dragons game yesterday .. im out of ideas ...

Whilst I’ve dropped off as a fan, I’d be happy to see him bag at least one for his 100. Has been a good try scorer for us in years gone by.
And by the way Nofa, run straight and hard !!

Someone making sense.

Strange Talau doesn’t need to get 80 minutes in his legs coming back from multiple injuries 🤔

 

[Stevec]

Yep when i saw the team i thought he was dropped after his terrible defensive game last week.

I know you watch DP but I was questioning the culture bogan who was lamenting the defence problem not having kepoa at center gives us

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

We can’t get a trick. Now injuries sweeping through the wider team.

 

[Odessa]

That backline is gash without Chuck and Kepaoa there.

Would prefer Matamua get a spot on the bench over one of Ofa or Twal, and Blore in over Talau.

Would be nice to see Simpkin get minutes this week, if he's going to do a 30 sec cameo may as well put another foward on the bench.

I would prefer Matamua 7 Brooks 6 Mats was a very good 7 before he got to big

 

[GCfan]

Doesn’t appear that Sheens is thinking much at all

The cupboards bare mate
With the rate of HIA’s and the like you’ve got to carry some people that can play a few positions

 

[stevied]

The team I selected to play Penrith was proactive by trying something different in the halves. The team selected by Sheens is reactive because it persists with Brooks. Spin, rinse, repeat..

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

I dunno why you guys are mad about Brooks being in the team. His last start was good. His spot is now secure for the rest of the year.

I agree with his spot being secure.Api Paps Bateman and Klemmer are all far more likely to play reggies than Brooks at our club and some people wonder still why we are not going well.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

we need to get in early against Penrith and go the knuckle on Jerome. Start a stink or two

A Raudonikas style halfback would be nice.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I gather you think Kepoa is strong center defensively? Do you watch the games ?

No, I'd prefer him on the bench over Talau though. Naden comes straight back in for mine and Toa put in a good show against Manly so he gets his jersey again.

Kepaoa started the year strong with the ball. We need big bodies out wide who can break a tackle.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

A Raudonikas style halfback would be nice.

As much as I'd love a Tommy reincarnate now and I'd love to watch someone bop Luai in the snout it's not real helpful to lose your halfback in a melee.

Actually hope some coaching happens this week. If we come out and try to grind them down its gonna be ugly.
Reckon time to introduce the offload

Be interesting to see if they persist with the run-arounds...element of surprise?

Only good part was the dummy run around. Not sure if it was worth the 100 setup plays though

 

[hank37w]

If Talau is Off to Manly as Rumoured, Then I dont want to see him play again.

100% correct apart from spelling Blacktown incorrectly.

Yeah, I was thinking something similar.
