Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

[Spartan117]

The terms listed in the Telecrap are ludicrous. We're giving him a payrise? from his already inflated salary? A 4 year deal would be a disaster. 550k average for a reserve grader is absurd..

He's achieved nothing. Dragons want to get rid of him and will be chipping in.

Give him a 2+1 (co) offer, where we chip in 700k, dragons 300k. Third year we pay full freight if we take the option at 500k.

No one else wants him, there's no bidding war. He's injured and currently still a fringe first grader.

The Terms of the Contract will be private unless His Manager reveals it which is unlikely.

Papers write garbage to trick the gullible.

You can only write so many times that he is highly regarded among the Steelers'supporters I know.

 

[Spartan117]

That's promising, I can't remember it honestly.

What does Gus say? You have to play 50 NRL games to see if you're a genuine first grader?

That's Sheens actually.

 

[tigertuff]

The modern game is built on speed and he has plenty. Let's hope he has the smarts to go with it.

Sheens says that... 50 games blah blah

Got a few mistakes in him but tons of X factor that we need in the Red zone

Sheens stated that we need to be able to attack. Our attack has been poor this season. We need to get some players who can create points. He can do that.

There are heaps of unknowns. Some players are lazy or come up with dumb mistakes at key times and it's hard to carry those players. Kepaoa and Naden have talent but they just don't seem to be professional sportsmen. Bula appears to have the right attitude. Pole does as well. I hope Sullivan and Fainu have the right attitudes. If they do I can see this working out well.

Cheers, surprised I've never seen him play

He scored two tries against us at magic round

Broke ipap ankles with his stepping

 

[Fallen Angel]

What a load of absolute crap

If we pay the price they suggest it's only a bit less than Brooks. Who has achieved far far more than Sullivan, and for whom we all agreed is overpaid at manly.

550-600k is standard money for NRL halves these days. Prove me wrong.

 

[Mossman]

He seems to have a lot of confidence which has been lacking big time with Brooks

 

[innsaneink]

So the spine may well be...
1 Bula
6 Latu
7 Sullivan
9 Koriasou

Hopefully Benji can get these guys synched

I like it without seeing them play. I'm going to be positive until they prove me wrong.

Api is a proven gun. The other 3 have plenty to prove in the top grade but they are definitely players with a lot of potential.

We may as well be positive... We all have 2 choices here until we see them run around

I think it's our coach who says that. Maybe Gus does too.

 

[twentyforty]

Desperate teams are like a windfall for players like Sullivan. Hope it ends up being a good signing but at this point he has got the better end of the deal.

There is a theory that, by giving a player a pretty decent sum over an extended period, removes any financial concerns he may have had, leaving him to have a laser focus on honing his craft. 😁

Is it something they tell the players to give them the confidence and motivation to keep going?

So by 2025 he should be ready !

 

[TigerNeddyK]

He's played 27 games. He's had his career disrupted by injuries and having Anthony Griffin as a head coach. He is very good. We have gotten younger, better and cheaper so far in the halves. People will hang shit on everything we do until the results change but for what it is, we have done very well so far.

I used to rate Griffin, but the fact that he continually picked Mbye in that team ahead of the really really good young players definitely changed that, he destroyed that Dragons team this year.. some of his selections and positional switches verged on sabotage IMO .. I’d almost ask to see his TAB account to make sense of some of the destructive self inflicted damage

 

[Tucker]

I like it without seeing them play.

🤣
There’s being positive and then there’s just saying shit for the sake of it.
That is an extremely inexperienced spine and when Api is off, who is the leader of it?
Really, really need an experienced 7 if only to hold these young blokes together and get them to keep their heads.

Agree with this, however Nofo needs more than Laser
