Alex Seyfarth #232

[stevied]

I think he'll spend most of the year in cup.
He'll likely fill in for injuries and whatnot and do a job.

He'll get better.

I like your optimism. I respect his effort, I just don't think he has the necessary athletic ability.

 

[stevied]

Did you ever watch him in the lower grades. He killed them. He would get smashed there as well. He gets smashed but hits it up on the next hit just as hard.

He has a ticker in that his last run is as good as his first run.

He was playing on the edge in first grade and still doing a decent job.

He isn't going to be the guy who gets us going forward like Stef, Pole, Klemmer etc. He will though be all over the park working hard if those guys get us going forward.

I get the issue though. Players like Pele for instance who can come on and bash and barge for 20 minutes and then be replaced can offer the team something more than a guy who can go for 60 minutes but not produce that 20 minutes of impact.

I'm a fan and I always have been. I met him and he was a nice bloke as well. He is a big dude.

I reckon he is awesome depth.

That's the thing Earl. Nice guy, tries hard but in the end is not the type of player who is going to move the needle.

 

[Bula]

The type of bloke who would be great to have as long term depth player who brings enthusiasm to group with a bit of cranky when given an opportunity. The trick is that he has to accept that as the position and not kick stones.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

That's the thing Earl. Nice guy, tries hard but in the end is not the type of player who is going to move the needle.

I think he’s similar value to Eisenhuth who played more often than not for the premiers last year?

He's 24 next month!!
Wouldn't consider debuting at 21 "Early" - It was only a taste anyways (4 games)

I have no problem having him around the place, Great kid....
But he's a 28-30 Player... Not a 18-28 or (Heaven forbid) a 1-17.
If that - I'd prefer him (Based on what he's shown) to be a State Cup contract.

If he was a long term NRL player, Or likely....
He'd have shown something a little more than passion / misdirected aggression by now...

I feel he's just taking up a spot in our top 30 atm

Absolutely!

Yeah I hear ya, and I was saying he’d of benefited with better surroundings, but who knows if there was better cattle around he may never have played nrl. So there is certainly a debate for both sides and I think a lot of us have seen so many players come through our club devoid of passion we really want someone who does show it to succeed. But that is when the rose coloured glasses need to come off.

move him on from top 30 and use the spot for Nathan Brown subsidised by parramatta

Not for Nathan Brown, he’s just another level of average.

 

[Buttface]

Might have benefit in a better team, But a better team and better training isn't going to help him from getting stopped dead and pushed back every hit up.
He's a massive kid, But just lacks impact.

I know, how does someone so big not have more impact. Look at Klem at that age and that is what sayfart should be looking to emulate

 

[Buttface]

Yeah - The level that plays rep football....
And probably 200+ NRL games.

Brown would be far more beneficial than Seyfarth, with Parra chipping in - It's a no brainer

That’s borderline for me, i wouldn’t call it a no brainer. And he’s on the downside of his career. As I say it’s borderline for me but I see what you post and respect your opinion. I’d just prefer better.

 

[Tigerwould]

Alex‘s contract is only until the end of the 2023 season. With the amount of younger players coming through I’d can’t him continuing with the WTs after 2023 unless it’s a State Cup contract. Given we have sign the likes if Klemmer, Papali’i ect and with Twal, Blore and Steph all hopefully injury free I would dare say most (if not all) of his games will be in SC for 2023 Unless we hit an awful injury run.

 

[Halbrowne61]

That's the thing Earl. Nice guy, tries hard but in the end is not the type of player who is going to move the needle.

And prone to conceding a few penalties. Good country boy, trying hard, hopefully he gets some good advice from Robbie and Furner.

 

[Camel2281]

He has the attitude/effort/work ethic to become a superstar. Unfortunately he doesn't have any talent

 

[Adam Doobie]

Needs more strength work. Get his lifts up. Also someone needs to change his running style, it's not appropriate for someone of his body type. Hoping Sheens and co can tidy these areas up. Only has one year to do it or that could be him as a first grader.

I find your blunt assessment funny Camel!

 

[bptiger 0]

Let’s put it this way he has been around now for two years and he shows no improvement, for a forward he make less metres than nofa or Laurie, I think his station in life is NSW cup

 

[BAGNF05]

Always hope we’ve released someone when these threads surface.

 

[Batmans Parents]

Nah guys, he's a potential Origin player according to some here. Some even said we shouldn't go after Angus Critchon because we already had Seyfart.

“we shouldn't go after Angus Critchon because we already had Seyfart.” ??
That is crazy talk. He is the kind of player you cut for Angus.
How ya going anyway Mrs Lodge? Merry Christmas.

The best place for Nofoaluma and Seyfarth is Antarctica; they can be a good choice as snowdrop counters, and their defensive skills and reading of the game could be handy. 🤐
