Difference is i post Nofo is terrible and dont backflup like half the posters on hear about Packer....

so you’re saying if someone is playing poorly and then they start playing well you can’t give someone credit for that?
 
of course you can bag out a player no problem with that it is a forum every opinion counts thats what is so good about this place except this forum is so biased towards Nofo over any other player aka Jennings does one thing wrong he gets smashed Nofo has 10 errors for the season the most for the tigers and it is crickets nobody criticises the bloke. Using the term "bludger" i mean i dont know how many first grade games eveyone on here has played but i dont think anyone is a bludger if they play nrl. Jenni gs might be crap and ordinary yes but he is not a bludger fair dinkum

The difference is Noffa has an X factor. He’s one of the best ball running wingers in the game. He’s essentially an extra forward coming off our own line. That’s why he gets leeway if he drops the ball as he’s playing it. Whereas you would rather focus on that as the basis why we should offload him to another club. Jennings offers nothing, so naturally he’s copping it more when he makes mistake because he he has no upride.

Nofoaluma has 10 errors in 10 games. Jennings has 6 errors in 5 games. Then there’s the fact Nofo is top try scorer, and top 5 in runs, run meters and tackle breaks.

So really the only key stat where Jennings gets anywhere near Nofoaluma is errors.
 
Self reflection warranted for anyone still bagging Nofa after his performances this year. Players who get their hands on the ball more than others will always have a higher risk of error.

Don't forget his TRY assists another one on Friday for McIntyre to get his 1st meat pie..

The thing with errors it's relative to the involvement in games as well..

Luke Keary has more errors than Nofoaluma and the most in the Rorters team..can't really imagine Rorter supporters wanting to ditch him or even criticise too much..

It's not being biased, it's just simple observation that he's much better.

(also, Nofo was absolutely caned on here after rd 2, and deservedly so)

I'll tell you why he is a "Bludger" shall I.

It is because he doesn't do anything - it runs in the family.

He stays out on his wing and gets cold, scores tries when the ball comes his way and there is nobody in front of him. Scores tries and injures himself. He doesn't go looking for the ball, take the hard hit ups, no I'll just stand out here and take the dough.

Put all of that together and you have what is described as a "bludger"

Cambridge dictionary definition:

"Someone who relies on the efforts of other people and wants to have things without working for them"

You say anyone who plays NRL couldn't be a "Bludger" - Jennings is living proof that your statement is incorrect.

Maybe if he got off his backside and put in as much effort as Nofo - people might change their opinions.
 
Aaron Woods still wearing his 2040 Wests Tigers undies, playing really well too!

Would welcome him back for sure, seems like he’d defs be open to that too....

He’s had some good games this year and he’s had some absolutely terrible ones too. Last week he was dreadful.

Playing a ripper today, running for over 125 meters and 26 tackles 0 missed with a couple of offloads in the first half....

He has it in him to be a quality prop. Don’t think our club will go back there though we’ve got lots of good middles at the club at the moment and another joining next year

i hope Nofo doesny get signed money better spent elsewhere but was prepared to drop it... now since some on here cant the i feel Nofo wouod be nest sold and buy jennings and top up to keep Grant

So lets get this right you want to sign Jennings over Nofo now? Wow you are desperate to get rid of him aren’t you....

You do realize we don’t need to get rid of Nofo to have enough cash for Grant if he wanted to stay right?

I have no issues with someone not liking a player but you have a very direct agenda that you just want him gone regardless of the need or situation or the value of said player or form of said player.

People didn’t backflip its called acknowledging when a player performs. Packer did that on Friday. The difference with those people and you is they can recognize it.

You don’t even when Nofo is adding value and performing better than the other wingers in the league.

The problem is cognitive dissonance. Some here would do well to [read this article](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/role-cognitive-dissonance-pandemic/614074/?fbclid=IwAR3V_FcAFiPo68LT1-UU-WUtcaI6Nu8Pr_xG55KDiageaGruSU-C8pjtM5o) and reflect on their stubborn inability to change their opinion or stance even with overwhelming evidence the should. Ironically, they double down and try to make reasons to support their irrationality.

It's an interesting topic. The most obvious example comes in the form of die-hard Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon supporters. They believe he is correct and will make ridiculous excuses for him no matter how clear the evidence that he's wrong.

Yeah and the week before that he was MOM. Playing inconsistently, much like their whole team.
 
Cant see us signing Woods with Musgrove, Aloai, Packer Mikelle, Stefano, Twal already signed up for next yr. We need a hooker, we need to decide on our halves and we need a couple of backrowers added in first
