Well, a starting 17 position isn’t given…it is earned.
He keeps telling us he will repay the faith in him with all his time off.
Now is the time to do so.
Get in there Shaun, bust your arse in pre season and smack hard when the season begins proper.

You make it sound so easy. If it was, do you know how many players that would happen to each year?

Did you miss the part where I said they can’t do it with Nofo because the amount of money is too high?

You aren’t going to waste (pay out) the money on a guy that is getting a reasonable wedge ..

how much is Kepaoa on this year ? $250k?

They could eat that if they wanted … I still think they might if they need another couple of spots freed up..:we know what Kepaoa’s ceiling is … not very high

Nofa could do a year or two in EPL at least.
or Japanese Rugby. I doubt he has it planned, but it would be a sound income. Don't know if taking a year's pay means he can't play for that year.

He may not want to go to the ESL? the money is guaranteed at the Tigers .. not every player wants to live overseas …

Edit- i see he turns 30 next week … these next 2 years might be his last in the game … probably happier just to stay here and collect his million bucks ..

Player management using Benji as a lure for the big clu

When he realises his future at the WT is reserve grade he will get on the blower to other clubs… don’t know why the Eels aren’t biting, they are desperate for backs

Sorry I probably should have been clearer you mentioned Galvin being around for a long time cause benji likes him but Galvins manager always seems to be trying to get him out of the deal

I can only recall a single, unsubstantiated rumour around Sheens' sacking which made no logical sense.

Local junior, playing with his best mates, signed on a four-year deal.

Can't see him going anywhere. Not for a while at least.

They are desperate for good backs. Every single club can find a winger who isn't quick and can't defend but can hit up a bit. There's literally no need to pay that player more than minimum and absolutely no need to help another club out of its salary cap hole by taking one they're overpaying off their hands.

Every single post that imagines another NRL club will be prepared to take Nofoaluma is based on a fundamental error, ie that he is a decent first grade player who happens to be somewhat overpaid. But he's not. If he was out of contract he'd get a train and trial somewhere but there's absolutely no way a club with half an idea how to construct a roster would give him a guaranteed top 30 place let alone pay him more than minimum to take it.
