Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Seems like they love him at the club.
He's got better each year and hopefully continues to get better.

Can make some mistakes but he's a fantastic player who can do a job for us.

Agreed. He fixed up a lot of his short comings this year and he was one of the very few forwards that gave me confidence when he was on.

Not sure he’s a starter but he should be in the top 17 every week.

Seyfarth is a great depth player. If we are considering him as part of our 17 next year we haven't recruited well enough.

🥴

My boy not going anywhere haha:

"While Wests Tigers utility Adam Doueihi also underwent a medical assessment with the Dragons, it appears Ilias will join the club after he went through a second examination."

At least he/we tried. Ilias or him is a bit hmmm

Gawd, 🙄, we’ll never get rid of Doobie if he has to do medicals every time. We need a Flemington Car Market for footy players you can look and start her up but no medicals.

This is a perfect time to get a Major sponsor.
We seem to be in great shape and on the up for a Sponsor to join.
Richo said we are in the best shape ever for sponsors so I'm sure Richo will deliver us one as well.

This guy is heading for a statue the way his going.

I’m hoping that Jerome Luai has the same impact for this side as Scott Prince did 20 years ago.

A big upside on our last decade of half backs.

Your hatred for Madge invariably shines through.He is not the world's greatest coach but he is a lot better than you make him out to be and does get results,just not with us.

I don't hate Madge. Just think he's a pretty average club coach. Last couple of years at Souths and 4 years with us is proof in the pudding. But it was pretty common knowledge he wouldn't accept he'd just been poor at Souths and lost his job, he told all and sundry it was Siebolds fault back stabbing him, among having shots about Burgess being close to Rusty.

souths will be in the market for a back up 7
sullivan on 250k fits the bill

We've tried the prop at lock for a few years now.

Find the Matamua name drop interesting.
He's got the prop size but the skills from coming through as a half... think he could really do something in the #13.

Richo alluding to body shapes looking different. I'm very interested to see who's named at lock in round 1 and hopefully its time Juzzy lives up to the hype.

My read on the Matamua comment was nothing more than Richo remembering one of the young guys' name.

Birds has come out and said he wants lock. Agree with others, the days of playing a 3rd middle at lock is gone.

The good teams (ie Penrith) have a gun link player playing 13 and that's what we need.

Def middle heavy in our roster and unless we can manufacture some edge forwards (Adam D?), i wouldn't be surprised if we tap one of our middles on the shoulder.

Fair chance he starts at South's too over Dodd

Be interesting who is our starting goal kicker. API is not terrible, but we need a top notch 80% plus kicker if we are going to give finals footy a shake

No offence supercoach but talk like this infuriates me.It should be part of training, kicking from all angles for all. Why most of them don't learn coming thru the grades to master something that is very simple mathematics is beyond belief, an old guy when i played ,toed it barefoot from 1/2 way all angles,nailed it every time,practice practice practice,excuse me i just wasted my sook for the day

Heamasi Makasini is a good goalkicker!

Madge sticking the knife in to get payback is what it is. He's known through league circles for being thin skinned and vindictive

Rofl as if Madge is making retention and roster decisions for a starting rotation player at his club to spite us.

Did Madge [This word has been automatically removed] your wife? Run over your dog? Because they’re the only reasons that would make sense as to why you level this kind of BS at him.

The man has coached and won at every level (NRL, Super League, Origin, NZ). The only place he failed was here after he was handed a team with no salary cap, little autotomy over recruitment, a front office that frequently sabotaged recruitment efforts and ultimately, a director of football white anting him. How many coaches would be able to overcome that?

But I know you love to ignore all those things because it doesn’t fit the BS narrative in your head. So keep on spreading the lies ( yes, lies because I know quite a few players who have played under him, including Souths and Tigers players, and while some did criticise his hardstyle coaching, none of them questioned his character)

Don’t bother, he has an irrational hate boner for Madge.

No amount of logic will get through to him.

Now thats a side hustle,best not thinking about.Fitting then old Bro;s up for Bruhs

Up the Bruhs! That could be our new slogan

Can make some mistakes but he's a fantastic player who can do a job for us.

A mistake? more like multiple... a game!

His mistakes are also very stupid and basic... He never seems to learn from them which is the biggest issue. He is always banging his head and carrying on after each one as well.

Because we've been so bad for so many years, i feel as though many of our fans try to convince themselves that Seyfarth is good because he 'puts in the effort' or has one good game in every 5. Just enough to convince everyone hes turned a corner.

In reality, he's a good depth player and a 6.5/10 who is capable of a 8/10 performance 3-4 times a year. Unfortunately we are used to most of our players being a 4/10, especially the last 3 seasons.

Personally I think Matamua will do better on an edge and hoping to see him at 2nd row this year think he could be a revelation

Don’t hold ur breath

Merlot you remind me of my wife she's angry all the time too.Probably because she has to live with me.😁

I wont pull words from your wife's mouth ,but you just dont understand me.lol,im chilled, really how hard can putting a ball between two sticks be ,yet it seems to be a lack of talent amongst professional league players.

Cant agree more. The team that starts playing a lock that is good defensibly but can also play like an alternate 5/8 ( like the Jim Dymocks from years ago) will become a force to be reckoned with.
