Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

[Jedi_Tiger]

Ps,.I'm not giving up on Bud yet.

Still very young and in a new team.

I think he will be very dangerous off the bench.

think room for only one of Sullivan or Latu Fainu for bench spot I am hoping it is Fainu that gets his shot

 

[supercoach]

We have three good 14 options, Bud,Latu and TDS. All three will need to be managed so they get game time in the top grade and long game time in reggies.

 

[Roar_Power]

What if he starts playing well and another team wants to take him off our hands ? Ideal scenario?

Perfect scenario IMO

 

[boonboon]

Watching 1 half of Latu Fainu in his 1st game back still heavily strapped and easily looks the class player in nsw cup.

a massive week in this man's career. second chances rarely come around so quick.

Bud will come onto a strong left edge that has been instrumental in us winning two in a row. he takes the place of a rookie who has left him for dead.

he was diabolical against Canberra, there's no other way to describe it. but this week he gets the chance to play second fiddle to Sezer and call for the ball when he sees something. that should suit him, but if he plays within himself again then I don't see us winning.

the biggest thing for Sullivan is running the ball. not once have I seen him just pin the ears back and try and use his speed and footwork to trouble other defenders. if he fails to do that again the Dolphins have so much speed out wide that they will cover our left edge with ease.

a lack of minutes these last two weeks plus a chance to make good on Marshall's faith in him should have him chomping at the bit. this week is so crucial for his career that if he fails to fire then England is going to become a very viable career option.

I don't understand why he was in the 17 and didn't get a run. Same with Kepoa.

In a game where we were under the pump defensively - Benji made the right call to only use his best defenders.

Neither Bud or AJ were going to improve our defence - and therefore stayed on the bench as emergencies in case of late injuries

It was a situational decision - and the correct one.

Imagine Bud getting hooked mid game for Latu this weekend and Latu going on to help win the game...

I think if Sullivan got hooked, it would be at a point where we are no longer in a position to win.

Probably right. Well I hope Sullivan has a strong game with Aidan controlling it and bud running and scheming well.

 

[supercoach]

Bud is no Galvin and has not set the world on fire, but I don’t think he has been as bad as many posters have said. I hope he has a really strong game along with the other 16. He is certainly going to be under the forum microscope especially if we lose

Benji made the right call. He managed his rotations based on how the game was being played out and what was needed.

He focused on middle rotations and left the backrow to play 80mins.

Who should’ve come off for Bud and AJ?

Just because you name them on the bench doesn’t mean they should be used just to waste an interchange rotation.

I would have preferred a better balanced bench .

Who would you have had on the bench?

Not my job. My point is, I would prefer going into a match where it was 17 against 17.

 

[Odessa]

Buds running game is more dangerous then Galvin just has to back himself

It was 17 against 17. The coach used the players he needed from that 17 to win. It's not pass the parcel where every kid gets a prize.

This week's bench looks a lot better to me for what it's worth.

It’s not under 8’s.

Bud, in my non intelligent opinion, was a rebound buy.. like a rebound relationship...... however- hope he does well...... proves us all wrong..
