It's funny Richo and the club preaching the power of a contract in one breath , while working hard to rip them up with naden , bud and co.

Either parties can chose not to.

It's where it's gets to a point where that player may not be in 1sts. So the club, in some ways, is looking out for them to find something better for their career and/or more $$$. If we can't find that, then they stay

Bud is in the box seat. He has a 4 year contract and there nothing the club can do about it. If the right club offer comes a knocking, he can choose to leave, assuming we agree and make up any shortfall. Or he stays on our books. He may even turn into the player we envisaged when we signed him.
Only time will tell.

Or become another Russell Packer ? Just turn up and get paid !

He will be after another contract when this one finishes unlike packer. He will also be at a better age for a half in the nrl. If he keeps pushing for a spot and backs himself another Sydney club will come knocking as every year there’s always a team higher on the ladder in need of a half at some stage
He also plays in a spine position that if he was playing every week he’d expect an upgraded contract so it’s in his interests to play well

If he plays hard, works & trains professionally, and doesn't kick stones if not selected- he's great for the club.

Guys like that don't stay in reserve grade too long & other clubs pay attention.

I don't know if he can beat out Luai, Fainu, Galvin, Sezar & Doueihi. But I do know there is a shortage of guys in key positions. And quality depth makes for good teams.👍

Agree 100% with your last statement. I reckon Sullivan is in with a big chance of ousting all of them and partnering Luai. In fact I would not be surprised if he becomes the preferred option at 7 if Luai suffers the "Brooks syndrome."

I agree but I have said this all along - he is overweight and that has prevented him from being as quick as he was when he was the benchie at St George when he scored 2 tries against us - thankfully we got up that day.

100%. Looks like he’s been in a paddock. Rumour was Galvin was our best trainer in the pre-season. Need to sign a few athletes if lanky Jim is our gold standard.

Found this old article about Bud coming through the junior ranks ..

www.nine.com.au

The rookie halfback dubbed the next JT

'There is something special about this kid'
www.nine.com.au www.nine.com.au

next JT they said …his manager talking him up… wanted by half a dozen clubs …etc

Sounds like some of our kids now like Living Large… perhaps something we should keep in mind about these teenagers

I’ve come to realise any time a kid is dubbed “the next so and so” the opinion is best disregarded. Think about the best players in the game today. Nathan Cleary for example. Not once was he dubbed the next anybody coming through. No one knew the extent of how good he was going to be. It’s why I don’t put much stock into how good kids are coming through the grades, cos it’s totally meaningless till they hit first grade. Most of them sink. It’s the ones who don’t get the fanfare that often take the next step.

Luke Brooks the next Joey Johns 😡

Galvin is the next…
Well at least he is the next Galvin to remain a first grader since he is showing he is capable of playing at that level through attitude, skill, contact, fitness and intensity.

Feel very sorry for Galvin..as an18yo kid he ridiculously carries the majority of our playmaking burden.
Think he will really benefit from Luai taking the reins in 25,plus a off season building up his strength and speed
If he doesnt bulk up too much,he cld be very special

Galvin already labelled the next Cleary.

'Next Nathan Cleary' in line for 'shock' selection

Nice wrap but I fear for young prayers who are labelled anything ( Brooks next Johns etc).
Let him be labelled as an outstanding talent who will get early adequate opportunity to prove himself in the big time. Then it can be taken in stages.
I wish him good luck but remind him of the old saying “ you are only as good as your last game”.

Agree totally, the next big things rarely pan out because they stand out so far ahead of the other young guys coming through they can coast along. Whereas the no name players have to bring and develop the fundamentals of their game in the lower grade to try and graft a career in first grade which stands them in good stead for their first grade career with their work ethic and fundamental skills they have acquired. The Next big thongs get to first grade and often have huge deficiencies in their games that can take a few seasons to sort out, if at all.

Unless you go to Dolphins or Storm. But why?

If Jayden Sullivan gets quality coaching to focus on improving his general effort areas when defending and improve his kicking game, his natural attacking instincts will be good enough to allow him to eventually become a quality NRL player.
Whether or not that’s with us or another club is the question.
Either way the contract we put him on was at least 100k per season over paid for what he’s has proven in his rugby league career so far.
