Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

[Buttface]

Thats the issue when unproven

Yep, a four year contract should be reserved for the very best of juniors coming through and proven professional NRL players, Origin or GF winners.

 

[Lestronge]

Well they should have left him there …didnt need a lot of hindsight to see that

We needed a half . He was the best of a bad bunch , who came highly recommended / force to agree , from our then recruitment manager . Should benji have caved to Fulton and the pair of dum dums ? no way , when you Monday quarterback it . But it is what it is , and I’m 💯 sure he would love to have that one back .
he screwed up , whats the point in crying about ? I don’t understand your point in perpetually bringing this type of stuff up ?

Just because something the club has done has a negative outcome ..I dont see the point in pretending it didnt happen and not mentioning it like it’s Uncle Ron continually farting at the table during Xmas lunch…

I didnt bring up his signing ..just responding in the main to a bit of under the rug sweeping going on

It’s a good point. I wonder myself how the Dragons recruitment would of fared had we left Sullivan with them?

I would be surprised if he was on $500k at the Dragons … he signed his deal there when he was 20 and had only played about 6 NRL games …

I suspect he would have played a lot of reserve grade there ..like he has here this year

If that same discussion happens now Richo laughs in Tartaks face. We were a desperate club without a playmaker.

It is easy in hindsight, that’s why your saying it. We lost brooks and had no halves for the next season, we even struggled that season due halves with brooks there. We were desperate no doubt, hence the purchase. Was it a great signing? Well no, not in hindsight.

Every poor signing we made in the last decade was a plan C, D or Z. The big reason big change was needed.

Do you rush out and sign the next Bud Sullivan or chill & wait for a Luai to become an option?

Breath people.

We only just got Luai, by a bee’s dick by all reports. We dipped out on latrine, Munster, Moses and Ciraldo. Our form wasn’t to good at the time of a high order signing, was it??

No it wasn’t. And the axe rightly fell where it needed to long long ago.

I prefer this approach then saying that they are waiting to announce the signings after the new players team has been knocked out of the finals …

 

[SwervinMervin]

Yeah for sure.
4 years though?

Too long.
2 years would have been great for the club but the player (his agent) wouldn't have bitten.
3 with a mutual option might have been the optimal middle ground. $500K per season is a lot of cash, but as far as half backs go it is still on the low end of the scale.

Only if and that was a big IF, West Tigers had done their proper checks on Bud they would not have been in this mess. They were told by St George contacts not to sign him especially on the proposed deal.

Who’s pretending it didn’t happen ? Youve wrapped yourself in a knot . I get the desire to be negative and not want to glorify a losing season , but man your motive on this is off base .
a better , more healthier way to look at it ,is he went after sezer and luai after sullivan . Especially luai . He knew he messed up and corrected the mistake .
EVERYBODY screws up ! But it’s not about the problem you created, it’s about the mistake you fixed . ShiT happens! People let you down . I think it’s a good thing , he recongnised it early . Same with Naden . They’re both off to fight it out for man of steel , and we can move on.

I have not read anywhere that Sullivan and Naden are off to ESL,i honestly hope they are but there has nothing from any source i have read of heard saying they are gone

Thanks for the advice .. but I’ll continue to make comment here as I see appropriate… if this is not to your liking then feel free to use the ignore function …

Jumped the gun I think

Anything further on what St George said about him ?

 

[weststigerman]

Why the present tense?

All of these shit deals were made by the previous administration.

Justin Olam was not done by the previous administration.
