Nofoaluma has never been in Marshall’s class

DOWNVOTE! - I can only downvote you 3 times in a day and I would rather remember Benji at his best than to point out all of his negative points in a pointless argument with you.

It's a nomstarter. Marshall is one of our greats, Nofoaluma a club player. That's what happens when you lose perspective.

LOL 2020 begs to differ mate . If youre saying at thier peak , yea it’s daylight, but let’s keep it real

Let's keep it real, Marshall , daylight and who cares after that.

Man seriously , I get it , he drudges up heaps of nostalgia and memories and feelings of certain times , but the dude sucked this year . Many of us feel that the f he wasn’t in The team we would have gone a lot better . Does that change how much of a legend he is and how skilful the bloke is . Clearly not , considering his stats . But mate it’s 2020 , the game has moved to a point where you can’t carry turn styles for 80 mins . It’s literally how the dogs stayed in a lot of thier games with zero skill in the team .

You cannot rewrite history. Marshall is close to our best ever. Farah is there with him as well.

What ? I’m not trying to . You’re trying to . You’re choosing to forget 2020 to prove your point , in saying 2020 happened , but he was still awesome despite that .
Nofa was a better footballer than benji this year . And so he should be , it’s natural order of things . At some point we all will get long in the tooth and be replaced by youth . Does it mean the person replacing us , is as accomplished or will ever be , no it doesn’t . It just means it that moment we get overtaken .

It is not even close, Benji is our best ever player, Robbie second daylight 3rd and then Hodgo, Ellis and Prince.

It's hard to disagree, the issue clearly isn't how great Benji was, it's his ability now. He still has some smarts and attacking skill, but his defence simply isn't up to first grade standard.

As with the rest of us mere mortals, father time has tapped Benji on the shoulder but he's having a hard time taking the hint. I'm Benji's biggest fan and I hate the thought of him going one (more) season too long.

Thurston is one of the game's greats but I reckon if he had his time over he would have sat out his last season.

Please Benji, accept what all the other clubs have decided and retire with dignity.

Chris Lawrence is a real tough story. One of my favourite WTs. Great pace, great centre and wonderful human being.

My favourite ever player!

There are different parts of the COE that could be named after various players or club partners.

For example we could have the gym named after Chris, the changeroom after Benji and the boardroom after Robbie.

Cleary should get a mention

At least they would get plenty of use

Corey Allen

Born
19 April 1998 (age 22)
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Height
186 cm (6 ft 1 in)
Weight
90 kg (14 st 2 lb)

I think he’s got the height that Madge likes

We took AD on and he pretty slow

Compared to Allen AD is an express.

Without Benji we don’t have a premiership to talk about.
But everyone’s time or effect on the game runs out at some stage, Unfortunately he was being targeted in defence and found out on a lot of occasions.
I haven’t looked through stats or the numbers but when you look at the halves that are playing finals most of them if not all are great defenders.
Cleary
Wighton
Munster
Townsend
Pearce
Walker
You never hear about these guys repeatedly being shown up in defence.
If we shave 4 points off all our games over the last 4 years, we make finals every year.

***Why Wests Tigers are furious with Fittler and NSW Blue***s

By Michael Chammas
November 1, 2020 — 7.45pm

NSW coach Brad Fittler put a few noses out of joint at the Wests Tigers this week following his comments that he was "disillusioned" that the Tigers could not find a spot for a young Ryan Papenhuyzen at the club.

It's the second time in a few months Fittler has had a crack at the Tigers, criticising the club for having "an identity crisis" and questioning whether they would "become anyone of real strength" on Wide World of Sports' Freddy and the Eighth in August.

Safe to say it didn't go down well with Tigers chairman Lee Hagipantelis, who is the owner of Brydens Lawyers - the major sponsor of Freddy's Blues.

Hagipantelis has asked club officials to reach out to Fittler to find out if he has a problem with the club. The Tigers haven't had a player represent NSW in the past three years under Fittler, who overlooked Dally M winger of the year David Nofoaluma.

Going by the talk out of rugby league circles, it's not the only thing that Hagipantelis has to be upset about. This column understands the Blues major sponsor hasn't heard from NSWRL chief executive Dave Trodden since March, prior to the COVID interruption. Trodden is under a bit of pressure, with an email doing the rounds of several clubs questioning his leadership.

Trodden's name was mentioned as a potential replacement for Todd Greenberg as NRL chief executive earlier in the year, but there are very few people at head office who have good things to say about the NSW boss.

***Foxx having second thoughts***

There's been another twist in the contract saga of Josh Addo-Carr, with the Storm winger indicating he is happy to remain at Melbourne next year should the club not be provided a suitable replacement.

Addo-Carr had signed a heads of agreement with the Wests Tigers that he would link with the joint venture in 2021 should he be released by the Storm. However Melbourne's premiership triumph may have triggered a potential change of heart.

 

[frullens]

I'd hope they are annoyed.
We need to start sticking up for ourselves and not get pushed around

 

[gallagher]

Yeah, we should ask why we have no one of origin class.
We should be asking our admin.

Oh look here he is , saying something negative about the club again. Way to go bro , tell us more . I’m intrigued by your fresh ideas ?

DWZ/Allen for mine are panic buys that don’t greatly improve our spine. Would rather wait till better becomes available or work with cheap youth
