I'm fairly sure the Dragons want a good player in return, though.
Hey don't knock taree Tito.. god's country
You're wildly overestimating the number of clubs that are set in the halves. Off the top of my head, the Sharks, Dragons, Bulldogs, Titans, Souths and Knights all have reason not to be totally happy with their starting halves and several others have absolutely no depth. $500k is nothing for a starting half nowadays and wouldn't be a disaster for a backup.
Hey ink I hope I'm proven wrong about him, just not a fan of the bloke
One mile is my favourite beach ever. Love the place Tito. Lucky guy!
Sezer can be kept around the club though. If his form keeps up we can't drop him, the only reason I'd let him go is if he gets a big offer from another club which is in our favour. Then we can also look to let go of Sullivan if that is possible to free up cap space. Eventually in the next 2 or 3 years I'm sure Klemmer will be let go of, regardless of form, as there will hopefully be a boom young forward coming through
If you don’t think he should be dropped, who do you propose being the 6 and 7 next year? Sezer and Luai? Don’t think that’s going to work.
I mean dropped completely as in not offered the extra year in his player option or getting sold (although for a good price maybe). I think people are jumping the gun. People still need to remember it's only ROUND 4. Fainu will get game time at 6 or even 7 maybe if Sezer gets injured. Sullivan could have a turn of form. Galvin could be targeted heavily by other teams now that the media have made him a 'superstar' and the pressure will be on him just as it was on Brooks, Schuster, Suaalii and other young talents who were hyped up early on. Galvin has had the perfect start. As of now, my halves combination would be Galvin 7 (right side of the field), Luai 6 (left side) playing like a Munster/Hughes halves combination which is a bit more balanced. Not what Sezer is doing now on the right side. Luai's kicking game isn't as strong and the last thing we need is him kicking on his less dominant side of the field going towards defenders rather than away
It’s bleedingly obvious who our halves will be in 2025. Do we see value in him as a back up? Maybe. But there are clubs out there with much worse halves who could offer him a starting spot for a year.
I think the perfect role for him is captaining the NSW cup team at halfback with Sullivan/Fainu as his 5/8. When Luai gets injured in 2025 or if he somehow plays origin again you replace him with a similar experienced left footed half in Sezer. Once Sezer is a bit old and let's say he plays poor in reserve grade, don't offer him a new contract. If he kills it, offer him a 1 or 2 year contract (he'll be quite old by 2026) on low money. No need to overspend particularly with Galvin still waiting for a contract
That's what I'm talking about. But Sezer has had a very positive contribution to the team and if it continues throughout 2024 we should let him play another year in NSW Cup unless a big offer comes from another team
Do you really think he would take that when there are clubs like the Dragons, Titans and Bulldogs in need of halves?
Again it would depend on him if he prefers to play reserve grade at the money we offered compared to the money offered by desperate clubs. A tricky but good situation to be in
