Heard Hastings and nofa have had a fall out, nofa refusing to play with him. Hopefully nofa leaves

If true, Nofa needs to grow up or go somewhere else. You can't just refuse to play with someone when you're earning hundreds and thousands of $$ a year to play.

Depends on the audience mate. I'm a believer in letting the captain do the talking but if a senior player does it, he/she needs to be respectful. Nofo has been at the club a long time and deserves respect even if he has made a mistake.

Nuffa has spent the best part of a decade here, making the same crayon eating reads in defence, and hasnt found one of the many centres he has been paired with, to work with to improve the structure on that side. Biggest change he has made hasnt been letting less try's in, but managing to score less pairing it with running sideways hard, instead of forwards.

If only his defensive game was as strong as his insta game...

Bloke dead set probably has a flavour preference between clear and "original" blue windex.

Fake news rubbish and easy click bait to fill more numerous pages on this thread.

Have you noticed how many tries have been scored down our right side since he’s been out?

Madge seems keen to hang onto Madden according to the press conference, but did say a lot of clubs will be looking at him after todays performance.

Criton?..never heard of her..

What position..?

you noticed how many games the players that replaced him have in their careers... there isnt an exponential difference in the experience/porous defence ratio as you would expect there to be. Pls explain his salary vs. efficacy, if you disagree. Rookies are within appreciable margins on minimum wages.

Gee...you gotta be spot on here... ;-)

Newcastle would be interested and the closest club to his hometown.

They are really struggling.

They made 2 plays for Brooks and probably thought that project was on the up when they got rid of the dog whisperer.

We’ve been “grooming” Jock for a few years now. Remember when he got his feature on Pascoe TV?

Nofo gets way too disrespected on here. Sure, his defensive reads are poor but calling him a part of the club's "toxic culture" over the years is straight BS. One of the few that plays hard for the club week in, week out and clearly loves the club for what it is

In all honesty mate I don’t know if he is or isn’t but do you know as matter of fact he isn’t seeing you’re calling BS?
We certainly have had our share of players over the years that haven’t minded white anting the coach and club.
People get the perception that it’s entirely possible when he berates team mates on the field and on social media but yet as you put it has poor defensive reads and is very well paid for a winger.

The point being it’s not always the wingers fault when a try is scored down the wing. Nofa is not the greatest defender but he has improved. IMO he’s being unfairly attacked based on the past.

Surely it would it be a breach of contract if a player refused to play with another player in a team especially with the money he is on. I don't buy it even knowing Nofa does have a sense
of theatrics in him.

Nofo probably back next week.

his game, by just about all metrics, has regressed.

thats a shame... enjoyed being able to defend a kick in the air.

Just a guess, lol.

Not believing the drama.

Have heard the boys are off Kelma though.

Talking about wingers..... love that big paw of Ken's that knows how to finish on a matchbox

Has that right side been unchanged since noffa?
