Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If that’s a 4 year deal with the 4th not as a club option, we’re idiots.

Club loyalty is one thing taking the team to a top 4 finish is another . With the Chairman getting involved tells me the club has learnt nothing , would any top 4 club sign Nofo to a 4 yr deal someone that has no idea how to defend .. my prediction he will be playing Reggie’s in 2022 .

Cry me a river

There will be a lot of that this season ??

Tears of joy ???

I can't fatham how we got suckered in to keeping Nofo for another 4 seasons after his 28th birthday. For much of his contract at the Tigers, despite his heart, he was already overpaid and people thought he didn't deserve what he was getting.

Now we sign him for another 4 years (plus the 1 he already has, so 5 years). 2 Further years to his 30th birthday was the right deal, 3 was being generous, and 4 years Nofo + manager have taken us for a ride. Be prepared to have another 500-600k sitting in reserve grade in 3 years time, or be prepared to have a youngstar (say Fitzgibbon) have their path blocked by this decision.

The salary cap implications this has later on is significant and people who think this is a good re-signing can't think long term. Give me AJ & Talau on the wing and put that extra 600k to geting Harry Grant.

It seems to go against all this talk of analytics and depth charts.

He’ll only be 31 in his final contract, that’s really not that old. There’s also no Clause in his contract that he HAS to be in first grade either come the end of his deal. I severely doubt that he’s on $600k either

Have some faith in our football department. They’ve been smart so far, there’s no reason to assume they got screwed over. Sure 3 years would’ve been ideal but one extra year isn’t that big a deal

We're not getting Harry Grant. You can't just use your salary cap on imaginary players, that's not how the game works.

Does anyone actually know what his deal and the $ value of it is?

Seems to be a lot of heat about it?

**Reliable poster on the bulldogs forum** has said momirovski has signed/ or is close to signing with bulldogs. Anyone here heard anything else?

"Reliable and Bulldogs forum" should never be in one sentence.

Didn’t @the Pom say that bulldogs made an enquiry but nothing more has come of him

4 years for Nofa lol.

Well, at least its comforting that in a dynamic and changing world, the Wests Tigers still do Wests Tigers things.


He has just turned 27 - he should be at his peak over the next 3 years - depending on the coin i don't see much downside.

Trouble is he's here for 5 years.


True - but he will only be 31 at the end of 2025 season. Probably still get a season or 2 contract at a reduced rate in the NRL or a nice pension in ESL. Some on here wanted to sign Mansour who is already 30.

by 2025 we will likely be shopping him around like Penrith did mansour.

Fair enough.

 

[Newtown]

There's a bit of an uproar because we signed Nofoalama. Imagine the uproar if we didn't sign him!

Who else if off contract? Not really anyone of note. We need to get linked to a good player again

Maybe someone will spot Madge at a cafe with Angus Crichton ?

How far away is Tannous from first grade ?

How far away is Tannous from first grade ?

2 years minimum in my opinion

If we're after a big ball playing backrower, there's a bloke at the Eels who doesn't really value contracts. I thinks his name is Ryan?

Bennet steps down as qld SOO coach,i wish Freddie would follow him.

[larry2005]

nofo has been in our top few players every year since debut, deserves a strong contract to finish
