He said the same stuff last time and ended up re-signing.
He’s that far ahead any of our other wingers, and this year scored more tries and try assists than JAC in a much worse side.
Please stay Nofa.
But in huge games this year against Parra, Souths and Penrith he was MIA. He’s a quality finisher and offloader who lacks genuine track speed.
A lot of people here seem to overlook all the dirty hit up he take from his own red zone, he never shirks those first play of the set.
He also scores a lot of tries than other wingers would not because of his strength and determination
His work rate is impressive but he actually starts a lot of sets by crabbing across field and that can be a negative. Your forwards then have to burn extra fuel to catch up with him. If he’d run hard and straight more I’d be a huge fan.
Feels like they have said we will never have another Reynolds/Packer situation again, we’re going after young players and redemption stories, hey, it’s a change and that’s better than repeating our mistakes in my mind.

He’s fast enough, he doesn’t have JAC speed but he very rarely gets run down.
I’m not sure I agree about him being MIA when he’s making 150+ metres in those games, but remember he’s a winger and can only do so much. As a comparison JAC was very quiet in the big deciding origin match. Just 55 metres for fox.
I just noticed a pattern that he was really good in those expected to win games but no big moments in the games that elevate you into finals

Nofa is a flat track bully, whenever we really need to win he has a quiet game. Spend the half million on a match winner, should have swapped him for JAC.
Multiple tries against titans 2 bulldogs 3 dragons 2 and manly 3 inflated his stats in 2020.
Ha you mean that manly game where we trailled 20-6 at half time?
Yeah, when our finals chances were nought

And fans whinge about lack of player loyalty… This thread… Lol
You can tell by performances over recent years players are just collecting their pay check at Wests. Happy for the turnover.
Go out and sign someone like Valemei from Canberra and use his dough to further improve our forwards or sign a quality spine player

If these signings become official I think we have the best pack we’ve had since Gareth Ellis was here.

Garner for Sironen (pending terms)Forward pack looking strong,
Wow.
