Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

So long as Nofo runs straight and hard every time, he keeps his spot. If he starts that slow-down jinking nonsense, he should be dropped.

Last week he did jinking first half and continually got picked off, driven back and killed the early tackles. Second half he must have got the word, because he just ran hard and straight and it was very effective.

I reckon he was so enthused by his solo drop-out try against Cronulla he wanted to try the "head-fake jink" every tackle, even thought he's about as agile as a herd of elephants.

After that the bad stuff he is known to do is normally outweighed by the good. E.g. bad play the ball last week vs intercept try.

Too often this year he’s run sideways on tackle one and lost ground. Joey Leilua has had to come in on second tackle and teach him how to run straight and hard

remember we are not meant to tall about how many tries Nofo lets in on here ssshhhh
we can however bag out Jenning's 18 he scored in 2018 and also his semi final appearances

Foxsports actually did an analysis on Benji's axing and found him directly responsible for 6 of the 11 TRIES scored down that edge 2 to Leilua 2 to Nofoaluma and 1 a combined effort of crapolary..when looking as to the reason Marshall may have been axed..

Wasn't lost on me Geo, but Benji has his supporters who failed to notice these lapses

It’s clear his defence has regressed this year . Maybe the lateral quickness is gone . Maybe it’s that he doesn’t trust Joey/vide versa. I don’t know. But that stat of 6/11 is directly related to a mistake he personally made , I’m sure isn’t lost on Madge .

I don't know if Grub fixes this, but he at least deserves a shot at it, and I wouldn't mind Walters getting a go at 6 if Grub fails, we have to look towards next year and beyond

Just promote our talented juniors 🙂

Think many of our juniors are playing elsewhere tbh..we have one of the biggest nurseries,but not a whole lot coming thru
As for Nofo,I recall we threw $400+ at him at a critical time when the big 3 were departing .(Ferguson is on $500k at the eels btw)and his re-signing gave the club some much needed credibility.His loyalty against other clubs offers deserves a premium IMO
For mine,he has been on the field and put in week in week out albeit with some defensive flaws,which is more than I can say about some (actually.... many)of our other signings during this turbulent period

 

[Geo]

Geo please dont use stats re benji sacking thats not fair 🙂
Remember Russell doesnt recognise stats such as Jennings 18 tries in 2018 we cant use them
Hope Nofo does have a blinder on the weekend


I didn't Foxsports did..

Geo what show was this analysis done on? I'm keen to watch a replay on Kayo.

It was on league tonight can’t remember which day they may have something on fox sports website...Kent mention it on NRL 360 a Wednesday past i think

Realistically both Jennings and Nofo need replacing.

Nuffie is marginally better than Jennings but realistically if the club wants to make larger steps up the ladder 2 new wingers are needed..

 

[clontarfkid]

Jennings offers very little in the "evasive"dept..nor carting the ball back up grom our own 20.Nofo does both very well
Both are ordinary under the high ball,which as we see weekly is becoming a key attribute of wingers

Sharks forums saying Eisenhuth to them before signing deadline for this season

That figures,Eiso is related to Gallen isn't he...

Yep, cousins

From what I recall . . . Gallen married Eiso's Aunty.

You guys do realise we would be zero wins without nofa's tries. He has outplayed BJ, Jennings and Mybe in every game.

How many has he let in

All of them..obviously

Just like you can't lay 100% blame for every try down Nofolumas wing, you can't give 100% credit for the tries he has scored
It's not a 1 man show
The only try I give him 100% credit for was his try when he received the drop out and ran in to score
Every player has a moment of brilliance but it's the lapses of concentration that cost us dearly
I hope Nofoluma has a blinder this weekend
He is due
As are many others in our team

I dunno the one when he fielded the drop out and the 2 intercept TRIES so far this year were pretty much him..

How many failed intercepts though ......

Nofo is wholehearted and embidies the imperfect Tigers club spirit.

Has a few errors in him but I always forgive him quickly with his phenomenal efforts

Just saw on facebook, the boys from the Podcast saying theres a rumour that Eiso leaving will bring Seizer to the club this year.

 

[Harvey]

Eisenhuth is an average player and we’ve got plenty of forwards at the club and more coming next season. Having a spot free isn’t a bad idea considering we’re already seeing young players looking to get out of their club to play first grade.

If true, it is the fairest thing to do with the player. Young wife and family, closer to home, more money perhaps and regular NRL.

Sharkies aren't that short on young forwards themselves...perhap we can get Briton Nikora, Braden Hamlin-Uele, Jack Williams or Scott Sorenson in return..

I am told there are a few pretenders and they lost their young forward with the big rep, Cruz someone or other who has gone back to NZ rugby.

No, he is in Brisbane jumping on police cars during black lives matter protests.
