I’d say it’s a fair chance if he was being coached by Bennett or Bellamy you would see him play at or near his best much more regularly and if that ever happens you will see a quality player.

Well tell us why we get caught short of numbers far more often than any other team ?
Like I said, other teams don’t rely wholly and solely on their 13 to do it.
So which players are the main offenders.
Does this mean our players are dumb as well as not willing to run or tackle hard ?
Nailed it.
Yeah... We know, The next JT (Right?)

If he was as good as you can imagine, Why did Bennett buy an unproven kid from SG Ball over him?
He'd not playing for those coaches, because they're good coaches....
(Good Coaches know Good Players)
look it’s a snowball effect, a kind of Swiss cheese wheel.
We are the least effective team to make meters from our back 5. Which means we have to call on our forwards to get involved. Other teams have the luxury of having their back 3 or 5 getting to at least the 40m line by the 3rd tackle. We rarely make the 40 by our 5th tackle.
I would suggest you and I have as much chance of being the next JT as Sullivan has....
(And I've never even seen you take on a short side from Dummy Half)

He has been absent through injury, not ability. He is not afraid of putting his body on the line and we know the playing qualities of his brothers. We know exactly what Sullivan can or can't deliver.
You might need to get back on the bat phone with that information.
Bennett signed Jamie Humphreys who is not SG Ball age, he been around the lower grades for a couple of years now.
He would have been signed on a minimal top 30 contract,
That is fine you don’t think Sullivan will become a regular quality NRL player, I do but it will highly unlikely be with Wests Tigers.
Let’s see who is right, time will tell.

I thought Bud was getting better the more games he played consecutively.
Pity he got injured.
Pity he got injured.
What are you, His Nan?
Got on the Bat Phone - Come back with this for you....
Back before a few weeks ago, When JD was still the Souths coach....
Bennett signed a kid Half from SG ball (or younger)...
to be the starting half for the team he was coaching.
You'd surely have heard of him by now? They call him Isaiya Katoa, Pretty good eye for Talent it seems....
Might be why he's now signed your man Humphreys when it's clear to the whole comp they'd get Sullivan for a song with the Tigers chipping in - this is of course, If they wanted him.
Now hang about,
You had him as the next JT (An Immortal in waiting) a moment ago,
Now he's just a 'regular' quality NRL player? - Which is it?
Like I said, Good coaches go for the Good Players....
Might just be why your man signed with the Wooden Spooners to play for a bloke that'd never coached a day in his life?
ps: You got the 'Highly Unlikely' bit right....
All I am asking is what has he done in NRL to get everyone so excited ?

How long have you got haha.
Good comment re Benny. Sort of revolutionised the hooker role. Didn't get enough credit for his toughness either I reckon.

He has done about the same as Galvin, Bula or Pole did before they played. NRL. No doubt there is a lot of talent but we have to see how it translates to the NRL. What I do know is we need more quality in our NRL side and certainly imo he is an improvement of some of the players we have in our backline or some that have been in our backline and are now playing NSW Cup.
100% mate. Job ready, proven 1st grader. One bloke in the side you'd never have to worry about aiming up.
Get him here for next game if we could.
Haha. How bad would it have been playing against him?
