A return to Sydney is surely on the cards for him
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
No idea if he is happy off field in Canberra or if he has a desire to return to Sydney. I'd assume he has been assured Papali'i's spot as of 25 so I don't think leaving Canberra is a forgone conclusion.
The best player not assured a starting 17 spot for mine. I'd give him our 13 spot.

The problem with Olam as I have said before … he has three years left on his contract which the Tigers would need to acquire …. You want him another three years ?
It’s arguable whether he has more than a year left in him … we then have another Nofo on the team for two years if things don’t work out …
Talk he has signed with the dogs

What a fall from grace Nick Cotric has had.

I think it’s more than one cross, didn’t he turn up for training a couple of years ago, whilst drunk !
Obviously hates training 🤣🤣

I wonder what happened to Nofo, he used to be the face of our team front and centre in promotions and advertising, banger of the esky during the team song. Always there smiling and promoting the team/club. When did it all turn sour?

Doubt it. This pre season has been in Sydney not in Melbourne with the rest of the team training. They had Norths players travel to Melbourne. Something drastically needs to change for him to be starting in 24 at the Storm. He will be with us or Superleague.
I think for 600k a year we wouldn’t get close to the value, but in saying that he is better than anything we have atm. Prefer to go after May or someone else, cheaper and better upside (plus may get his brother in the forwards).

Might have something to do with supporters hating his guts.

Peters said it was a minor discretion but it didn't go over well.

I guess he feels entitled.....probably because he stuck with the club while other turncoats including the coach didn't. Probably feels he put in a bit more than some.
Is he right?
Probably.
Is it a good attitude to carry.?
Definitely not.
Thing for us now is does he offer value within a more professional football operations/coaching structure, improved players group with better halves creating structure and space?
Probably.
If hypothetically we were in a GF and you asked me would I prefer Tupou or Noff.....I'd go Noff.

And he remains the club's all-time leading try scorer.
Although attitude is everything.

Having dinners with Lee wouldn’t have helped. Maybe he was the plant to report back to the CEO.
He also got pushed to the background amongst all the coaching/signings rubbish happening over the last few years, and I think, as an attention seeker, he spat the dummy.

That's true.
But that type of personality normally likes to rise to the challenge.
There was a period a couple of years ago under Madge it almost felt like he was the only one putting in.
The old Roy would've worked wonders with him..
Could do with a few guys with a point to prove.

His hard yards, and play on the attack were not questioned, however, it could be argued that he was the WT's all-time biggest weakness in the D

Confirmation that Penrith have waived the 10 day cooling off period for Jarome Luai.

If it were pascoe, you'd suspect it's because he's sunning himself on a beach. But I've got more faith in this new mob.
