Wests Tigers winger David Nofoaluma has revealed he waived his right to a 10-day cooling-off period when he re-signed with the NRL club.

Nofoaluma joined Luke Brooks as one of the club’s key players to have re-signed for next year, inking a four-year deal last Wednesday with the Wests Tigers.

Ordinarily, that deal wouldn’t have been announced until the end of next week due to the NRL’s 10-day window in the player’s favour.

But with the Tigers in need of stability as headlines continue to focus around the futures of Aaron Woods and James Tedesco, Nofoaluma did away with the window to give the club some much-needed positive news.

“I signed a waiver so I’m done,” he said.

“I love this club. It’s my junior club and it’s my local club.”

The Campbelltown junior admitted he was tempted to join Parramatta.

“There were a few teams but the team that was chasing me the hardest was Parramatta,” he said.

Nofoaluma has been one of the Tigers’ best players in 2017.

He is ranked third in the competition for average metres (179) and second for tackle busts (56), in what has easily been his best year since debuting in 2013.

His passion for the Tigers is clear.

He kissed the club logo on his jersey after scoring his third try of the season in Sunday’s 18-12 win over Canterbury.

And signed off with “#OnTheBus” when tweeting his re-signing – a reference to Ivan Cleary’s infamous line that players are either on the bus of off it when it came to contracts.

And the 23-year-old said despite the ongoing dramas he had no concerns around re-signing with the club.

“I obviously spoke to Ivan and he knows what he’s doing and he’s a good coach,” Nofoaluma said.

“I’m sure he’s going to do the right thing by the club and he convinced me to stay and I want to stay under him.”
