Salford Red Devils Face Potential Exit for NRL Recruit David Nofoaluma
Salford Red Devils’ recent addition from the NRL, David Nofoaluma, could already be set to depart the club after making just two appearances. The signing of the winger was seen as a coup for the Red Devils, but his tenure so far has been far from impactful.
Salford has already faced significant squad upheaval, with the departures of stars like Brodie Croft and Andy Ackers to Leeds Rhinos. The club also lost key wingers Ken Sio and Joe Burgess, the latter of whom was released due to disciplinary issues.
Nofoaluma’s arrival was meant to bolster Salford’s backline, but the Australian’s performances have been underwhelming. In the Round Five loss to Wigan Warriors, he was at fault for a crucial play that led to the opposition’s victory. Similarly, he struggled to contain Castleford Tigers’ Innes Senior, who scored four tries against the Red Devils.
Now, according to reports from The Mole, a respected Australian journalist, Nofoaluma could be on his way out of the club after just two games. The journalist’s social media post expressed little surprise at the potential departure, hinting at Nofoaluma’s history of inconsistency during his time with the Wests Tigers.
At the time of Nofoaluma’s signing, Salford head coach Paul Rowley had praised the player’s impressive CV and expressed excitement about the added competition he would bring to the backline. However, it seems the club’s high hopes for the NRL recruit have not materialized.
As Salford Red Devils continue to navigate a challenging season, the potential exit of David Nofoaluma adds yet another layer of uncertainty to the team’s already tumultuous squad dynamics.
