An off-field incident as well as a serious concussion has kept Wests Tigers winger David Nofoaluma away from the field in recent weeks.
An off-field incident as well as a serious concussion has kept Wests Tigers winger David Nofoaluma away from the field in recent weeks.
Confidential has learned that Nofoaluma has been the subject of an internal disciplinary sanction in recent weeks which has resulted in him being overlooked for a first grade starting spot.
Club sources were tight-lipped on the nature of the indiscretion, but it is understood it has been frowned upon by his fellow players, in particular the senior leadership group.
The incident has been described as a “minor slip in standards” but was enough for his teammates to look down upon the winger’s actions, leading to the sanction.
Nofoaluma continues to be troubled by headaches, according to sources at the club, although he has been named on an extended bench for Saturday’s game against South Sydney at Accor Stadium.
The 28-year-old has not played since round eight and was spotted leaving the Tigers clash against Canterbury at half-time as he dealt with ongoing headaches.
He is among the richest wingers in the game with his salary nearing $500,000.
It is the second time Nofoaluma has been in the spotlight over his off-field behaviour. Last year, he was stood down from the club’s senior leadership group after turning up to training under the weather following the wedding of chair Lee Hagipantelis’ daughter.

Leb Thongs, the old Leb guys used to wear them when I grew up around Granville.
They're called Slides, brother.Leb Thongs, the old Leb guys used to wear them when I grew up around Granville.
I bought some about 15 years ago, (got hacked on by my mates), and they have finally worn out.
Cant find any on the mid north coast. I don't even know what to call them other than Leb thongs? Those old Leb guys really knew what they were doing. Most comfortable footwear I ever had.
Ok thanks, slides, that got me started and I added the word leather and got this. It’s close but not quite. They had leather on top of the sole too. I will continue the search now I know slides might help.They're called Slides, brother.

Feels good not having anything between your toes like those normal thongs.

Those things were a disgrace
Probably true then.Interesting that these rumours not backed up by facts not even getting a mention on NRL tonight . These guys jump all over a story if there is something to it yet not a mention
Don’t knock the old Masuer Sandle. I have owned a pair of those since I’ve been 16. My wife buys me a black 11 pair every xmass. The add back in the 80’s had a Swedish masuer named Sven under your feet and they used to say it was like getting a Swedish massage while you walk. I’m hooked they’re great.

MaddenWas thinking who would kick goals on Saturday? If Hastings has a foot injury, and Brooks coming back from a hamstring are either going to want to kick? Do we have another kicker?
