Tony Sukkar #292

[Lukic]

Has some good size about him and played well enough. Only 20 ... a lot can change in a few years. Seyfarth used to get belted by plumbers and sparkies in NSW cup and now he's a solid first grader.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Tried his heart out and you can always use players who do that

Agreed. Was impressed with his performance. Will only improve & grow in confidence.

 

[TYGA]

Sukkar is a beast. He will make the grade powerful lad and from a good family. Good kid.

 

[HabboTiger]

Strong game

 

[Buttface]

Good effort, has some work to do in D.
Seen worse debuts.

Broncos were running rampant and he held his own very well playing long minutes. I think as a 20 year old with no experience he showed a lot of promise

TBH after some of the reviews on the Reggie’s games this year I was expecting a lot worse. He’s a good size and certainly something to work with.

Really good first hit out for him. Very impressed

 

[old_man_tiger]

Would love to see him dominate koe, a few games this year as depth in firsts should be fine, but still very young and we need to let these guys learn the game slowly.

Debuts are first games right?

Fair call, BB. 🙃

I was even thinking about his actual debut when I wrote that, when his old man was beaming. 😁

What side has Tony been playing in Cup? I'm wondering after last night if he should be playing on the right to put pressure on Seyfarth. Seyfarth is doing a solid job but I think Sukkar probably has more upside as an edge player. He impressed last night with his post contact metres and ability to not get turned on his back. He runs a decent line and as a junior he had a good right foot step, so maybe the right side he would go even better. If Sam is back next week,Tony will miss out, but he should be playing on the right in Cup next week

Pretty sure Sukkar has been on the left in Cup and Porter on the right.

 

[Bellend]

Another managed by Isaac Moses too 😱

That is disappointing to read.

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

Went well. Still 12 months away IMO of first grade level but looks like he has the potential. Seems a similar style player to Seyfarth imo.

Thanks for that.

This is where I feel we let ourselves down. Sukkar is the next man up, but they have him playing on the side that he will never get a chance at with Fainu there. We need to start identifying where these guys could get opportunities and make sure they are spending time in that role in Cup. I'm not saying develop him exclusively as a right side player, but he should be spending some decent time there to put pressure on Seyfarth

Me to. Thought he went really well. Glad everyone else noticed also!

Played well last night, didn't seem overawed, did his job, solid in D and took the dirty hit up when needed, didn't shirk any work. He was my 1 point last night.
