Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Lee's fedora]

I saw a tweet from Nofa after the Bulldogs game thanking the Wests Tigers staff for the care and thought he would be back this week. Can't find it now - but clearly it seems the issue is a bit more serious than first thought.

Hopefully it gets sorted out soon

Concussion is a very serious issue and not something that should be ignored. I'm glad our medical staff have this covered.

Ryan matterson is another one with head knocks too him a fair while to get back

Concussions are a serious problem that cannot be rushed back gives tupou more game time while nofo is out to recover young kid has some upside

Tupou has massive upside If the Tigers are out of contention for the 8 I hope they play him for the rest of the year good games and bad to get him up to speed

If Nofo is cleared he should play. If his health is an issue then that should be the priority.

I know it is not signing related - but seeing it is being discussed here. From today's Tele

Wests Tigers winger David Nofoaluma is set to miss another week with delayed concussion symptoms. Nofoaluma copped a head knock in round eight and has not taken part in any contact training since the hit.

Not a good sign…

I don't think he is ready. I think he can learn in the lower grades unless we need him.

Several players came to the Dogs on the basis of playing under Trent Barrett. Naden, Matt Burton and certainly Jack Hetherington with Newcastle being front runners- Dave Ricco

For sure he can learn more in lower grades but for a young kid who is raw talent he is good more game time at the top he gets the more he can improve

I don't see it that way. I think he has a lot of flaws. He was targeted defensively all game.

He can work on those flaws in the lower grades and improve on his game.

There is no rush to push him up. Make him earn his spot based on performances in the lower grades.

Im not saying we rush him but if no one else is there to fill the spot give the kid some time

Thomas Mikaele has been released immediately to Super League club Warrington.

From the Telegraph


Who’s replacing him maybe a guy with a pommy accent from the bulldogs ?????

We already have one pom who is terrible we don't need another who is not much better and getting paid 2-3 times more than he is worth

Which one is it then, fake news or they had a bust up? You were saying that Nofoaluma didn’t want to play with Hastings.

I’m not trying to have a go, I’m really not. But you really need to be careful with what you post as these types of rumours are particularly damaging and unfair to players.

This one was never a story, Nofoaluma has been struggling quite a bit both mentally and physically with these side effects and people coming at him with this garbage is the worst possible thing for him and Hastings.

Hopefully Nofoalooza is medically retired …Shame really as he’s the only one that made it through his banner
