Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

[AmericanHistoryX]

I always thought trying to get a young bloke at the start of his career to go to England was a bit rough.

Or an apprenticeship?

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Absolutely. Bud is doing his best... not budging/bludging like Moses did..... but I like Moses... great player.... no grudges here... just management.....

Can't blame him he only accepted what was on offer, who knows how Luai coming changes players form and or confidence.
When you have blokes agitating for release's and being prima dona's he wants to fight, fair play to him. Some others don't want the fight. We've seen how Brooks has come on in his proper position without the weight of the team on his shoulder, Luai will shoulder that.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

If Lachlan leaves Luai cannot be that more imposing....

 

[Todd Packer]

Or an apprenticeship?

8 months ago he's being romanced by the club, told he's our future, now he's just supposed to accept that yeah, nah, we didn't mean any of that, how about you fly to England and become an apprentice. Be a good lad and trot off.
It's good to see he has some dignity.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He’s entitled to stay. Just don’t see a place for him next year

Absolutely. You are right.... Seems like Bud and Lachlan maybe sharing the same thoughts.

Thats what we said about Douhei

Whether you see it or not, he has a guaranteed place somewhere between 1-30 for next year and beyond.
I wouldn’t going anywhere just yet if I were him.

He is still finiding his feet - we paid too much for him but he will be a great backup half and may even come good in a year or two.

I would rather have a quality half back up than not. Shop douhle instead.

 

[BAGNF05]

My advice to Bud, get super fit and fast. Be the X factor #14 every club needs. Looks a tad out of Nick.

Bud says he is staying at Tigers

‘I’m not going anywhere’: Sullivan’s message to Tigers

Bud Sullivan’s goal is to play with, rather than be replaced by, Jarome Luai despite the Tigers allowing him to explore other options.

You have to respect that. good on him he wants to be here and wants to improve the club a certain some 1 could learn from this

As long as he continues to put in and try his best …. Can’t ask for more than that… it was a poor contract from the clubs perspective, but he can’t be blamed for that…

Just hope he doesn’t get comfortable collecting his pay check and playing NSW Cup like Cleary’s signing Russel Packer did for years ,,

 

[Chipofftheoldblock]

Looks like a Kodi Nikorima type 6.

I'm happy he is staying. Yes he is on overs for a back up half, but we made the deal. The odds are he will see plenty of NRL in 25.

He is improving steadily, growing in confidence and playing more physical.

end of the day it is his performances that will determine how long he stays here.
His performances have been underwhelming at best.
He needs to improve his overall game from game management, kicking and tackling.
At present, he will be the best paid reserve grade player next season.

Yeah I carnt see that happing the difference is he’s young and playing under his idol

I know we have all bagged him my self included but some times it takes players a while to settle into a club

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

The Bulldogs seem to be able to move on players without any fuss or backlash from players, the same does not seem to happen we try…

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Where is Abdo when needed?

Lol. Everyone saying the club is being poor to him.

He was romanced - yes- and he was given first crack!

He caused the first 4 tries against the raiders in our first game from laziness! He then botched the second game. He was been terrible 80% of the game time he has had. If he had killed it we wouldn’t be having this conversation. He’s a poor man luke brooks with no heart.

The tigers in the other hand have to swallow him bc they signed a 4 yr deal when the dragons wanted to offload him.

Now it’s a stale mate. He’ll play NSW cup and try and get another gig in the NRL and we’ll hope he gets picked up.

Football is a business and you need to win. He was given a good crack and was shite. But we’re stuck with him and it’ll be both sides applying pressure to get what they want. Bud will find another NRL team but instead of the tigers paying Salford like $100k a year for him, we might have to pay the dogs like $300k per year.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Maybe he wasn't a Munster.. but he tried his best.. he didn't do a Moses on is... if it goes on longer.. then who knows???

Just remember when Phil took over there was 13 players or something off contract the next year. I don’t recall him moving any 1 on 6 months into a 4 year deal
