He looks to have trimmed down abit.
If he plays like he did for the 4-6 week stint last year then all for it even more so if it means Pole goes back to prop (his best position IMO).

I'd say much of Doueihi's current wage has already been re-allocated to Luai's contract. I doubt there is that much left over to play with.

Doueihi's upper body is looking fit .. 
and is ahead of schedule for his return .. !!

A photo of his knees would be far more revealing as to his state of health

I understand your view but
seyfarth is miles closer to yeo than Wakeham will ever be to Munster

If he was playing wheelchair footy I’d be satisfied.

I did think this was a possibility with Pole rumoured to be moving into the impact role. Seyfarth is a high work-rate, high effort type who will ensure we don't rush Laulili'i, and to a lesser extent Matamua and Fa'agutu.

I want to see his teeth.
Considering how long he was off his legs it really shows his application to getting himself right which is a big positive. So often you see people come back over weight etc after 1 let alone 2 significant injuries in a short period. Well done to him, let’s hope it translates.

There's really no harm giving him a chance, I think pole provides more impact as a bench foward. There's like 3 juniors that have a mortgage on the 13 jersey, may as well try and strike gold in the meantime. Said it before reckon seyfarth is the type of player that improves marginally every year until his body gives up. He will leave everything out on the field and if you put some time in with him you will get a very solid first grader.
What I have seen of his ball playing hasn't been terrible

Keeping it warm for Galvin I reckon - still think he's our future 13 with his size and ball playing ability/vision. I'd prefer him in the middle at 13 than on the edge personally as I'd like him as a first receiver similar to Yeo getting it straight from Api and depending on what side either Fainu and Luai being at 2nd receiver I think it could be dangerous moving forward. Bula roaming around too won't hurt. Would be a pretty good formula.
He's also just a natural footballer so I don't think him making tackles in the middle would effect him as much especially with a lot of cover defense too. You could make the argument it's probably more difficult tackling on the edge than in the middle as plays will be set to have the opposing edge forward 1 on 1 with the halfback quite often. Brooks to his credit was actually quite good in that regard. He's also 18 so wouldn't be too difficult molding him into that type of player.
Might be unpopular but I also don't see the hype in Seyfarth - he has played a lot more bad games than he has good. He probably gives it 110% in training and is likeable around the squad which I respect. However, in terms of what he has shown in the 50 NRL games he has played maybe 4-5 games where he has been solid. I hope I'm proven wrong and he's a regular first grader as I’m not rooting against him but at this point I don't see it. Especially if we have top 8 aspirations.
His ball playing was even better in NSW Cup last season when given that role.
Even if we use him as our starting 13 and sub him with either Doueihi when he returns or the emerging Galvin which would give us a 13 with a bit more attacking flair at some stages of the game.
Both Doueihi and Galvin could be very effective 14’s with their versatility and ability to slice open an opposing defence.
I agree on Galvin.
Don’t agree with you regarding Seyfarth. Take into consideration he’s a big lad who really didn’t grow into his body and toughen up to use his body size effectively until last season, so he’s a different player now than he was prior to the 2023 season.

Kind of annoyed me that we made room in our squad for Seyfarth but not Blore. Time will tell if it’s the right decision or not like you i’m obviously rooting for the guy but he’s spent a few years in first grade now & just hasn’t shown what it takes to be a mainstay at this level imo
Seyfarth's never been unfit or overweight!
His problem has been that his rangy frame has sometimes resembled a clumsy long-limbed puppy still growing into its body.
He's a late developer in that sense - but when he does get his core strength right and a greater awareness of his centre of gravity he will be a high quality first grader!
