Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

When talking about the future spine on SEN...Richo spoke of Bula fullback, TDS as Api's replacement down the track and then said Luai, Galvin as the halves. Also mentioned Fainu and even a currently uncontracted Douiehi as potential halves to partner Galvin aswell. No mention of Sullivan.

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.

Nah he's been pretty good his last few games. He's improving every week.

If Sullivan is happy to be the 14 in the future there's a spot there for him once Api retires

If mediocrity is accepted... just because he tried his best... doesn't mean he is the best.. ever watched... America has talent... Australia has talent... Iran has talent... China has talent.
 
I would love this kid to come,out on own the team I just don’t see it yet , I would have him sent to super UK footy for 2 years then have him back as I think he will become a good player, we need to link up with a UK team and use both as growth clubs ,
Wests Tigers & ? join forces to created a global Rugby league super club , Pommy kids would live to come over so we develop between both clubs just my rant

Yeah I’ve discussed this with others and I reckon it’s a great idea, but it’s forward thinking and our previous CEO would not have been capable of such things.
A successful club would buy into the ownership of a pommy club, but we’d have to go with some kind of mutual agreement. I think it’s a great way to flout the cap too especially if we were first doing it. Helping the development of talent both sides by the globe and increasing the junior talent pool. So that when a junior signs on at the Tigers in Castleford, Campbelltown, PNG, or Cali, he knows there’s opportunities all over the world with the greatest NRL team in the world.
Yes Cali, I’d be setting up over there before Uncle Nick buys up all the real estate and we’re left with Arkansas. Id be going to the NRL for some funding to pioneer and spread the gospel in the US and it doesn’t need to be all cash. Favours in the NRL would suffice.
Sorry, most people glaze over, but if we’re going to survive into the next 100 years we need to think bigger, global empire.
 
I'm glad Bud has elected to stay despite a tough first year. Whilst he has'nt set the place on fire, neither has the rest of the team. He has the potential for the greatest improvement iIMO. He has strength, speed, a mighty boot and is a reasonable tackler. Needs to improve his game management and ball handling skills.
He needs to show what he can do for the rest of the season though.

It's a bloody fantastic attitude and this is something you wanna hear shouted in the sheds even after a flogging, it's infectious for the team mates... It gives the coaching staff confidence and a belief they're working with someone that's on board and wants to be part of the solution... It's great for the members & supporters it gives us something to cheer about and be proud of even if the results aren't going out way... And it gives the player himself the right attitude to run out there and give it his best.

How can a. Young bloke even go.closento
to being his best if he *doesn't wanna be there* or.be thinking this way... We do NOT need this anywhere near the place.
This is why coaches in pressers still look for positives in the darkest hour... It's why players console and continue to encourage team mates when they commit an error
Good. On ya Bud 👍💪👌

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.

Only a matter of weeks ago people were complaining that we had too many halves, there wasn't a place for him in first grade and then we had injuries and suspensions, to date he has played in something like 9 out of 12 games that we have played so far.

Good on him for sticking to his guns and backing himself, hoping he can continue to develop and become a success, whether it's here or if he eventually gets picked up by someone else.
 
Glad he is staying, he has a great attitude unlike some others and the mind is where winning starts. I know he hasn’t set the world on fire in his appearances for us, but I was surprised that Richo was ready to ship him off to England after only half a season with us! I mean, give the kid a chance to settle in and develop. He’s certainly not the worst. If the team would actually start playing like a structured team, then he might actually have a chance to shine.
