Looks like Sunday's game will be a sellout with only 1000 tickets as of this morning. Nothing better then a full house at the 8th wonder.

Sold out now. I have a few mates who weren't able to get tickets.

If anyone has spares they want to sell, DM me.

Also, I heard that if you become a member you can get a ticket. Anyone know more about this possibility?

Yes, I actually miss Seyfarth.
What's more I pumped this into ChatGPT to see if I was talking crap, OR if a crap language engine would back what I am saying?

"Here’s a data-driven, 2025-only comparison of Wests Tigers middles, split by role. I’ve pulled season totals from publicly available stat tables and converted them to simple per-game rates so you can see “role shape” at a glance.

Props / Front Row (8, 10 + bench props)​

  • Terrell May (PR) — 21 GP
    ~170 run m/g, 20 runs/g, 42 tackles/g, 2.8 offloads/g, 2.8 tackle breaks/g, ~2.9 missed/g. Big metre-eater with second-phase; among the most productive Tigers forwards for yardage and offloads. Zero Tackle
  • Alex Twal (PR) — 23 GP
    ~81 run m/g, 9.7 runs/g, 34.8 tackles/g, 0.2 offloads/g, 1.2 TB/g, ~1.0 missed/g. Classic workhorse: high defensive volume/efficiency, low errors and penalties, limited second-phase. Zero Tackle
  • Sione Fainu (PR) — 13 GP
    ~109 run m/g, 10.7 runs/g, 32.5 tackles/g, 0.4 offloads/g, 2.1 TB/g, ~2.9 missed/g. Carries with punch; decent tackle breaks for his minutes, but a bit looser in D than Twal. Zero Tackle
  • Samuela Fainu (PR) — 18 GP
    ~80 run m/g, 9.1 runs/g, 30.1 tackles/g, 0.1 offloads/g, 1.5 TB/g, ~3.3 missed/g. Similar workrate to Sione but with more defensive lapses. Zero Tackle
  • Alex Seyfarth (PR) — 12 GP
    ~70 run m/g, 7.8 runs/g, 34.2 tackles/g, ~0 offloads/g, 1.6 TB/g, ~1.6 missed/g. Solid “numbers tighthead”: tidy defender, lower ruck output than the top rotation. Zero Tackle
  • Royce Hunt (PR) — 13 GP
    ~106 run m/g, 11.1 runs/g, 20.4 tackles/g, 0.5 offloads/g, 2.0 TB/g, ~1.4 missed/g. Impact profile: strong carry/second-phase, lower defensive volume. (Listed with Tigers in the 2025 stats ledger.) Zero Tackle

What that says about the “front row” unit​

  • Yardage leaders: Terrell May >>> Sione Fainu ≈ Royce Hunt.
  • Defensive engines: Twal (clearly) → Seyfarth; May also shoulders solid volume.
  • Second-phase: May (high) → Hunt (medium) → others (low).
  • Discipline/Efficiency: Twal best (low misses, low penalties/errors); May’s volume comes with more errors than Twal, but still excellent value per carry. Zero Tackle+3Zero Tackle+3Zero Tackle+3

Lock (13)​

  • Charlie Murray (LK) — 4 GP
    ~20.5 run m/g, 2.5 runs/g, 10.8 tackles/g, low errors — small-minute cameos rather than a full-time lock load. Zero Tackle
  • Kit Laulilii (LK) — 2 GP
    ~30.5 run m/g, 5 runs/g, 24 tackles/g in very limited time; also cameo usage. Zero Tackle
  • Adam Doueihi (shifted to lock mid-season)
    Club-confirmed positional switch around Round 20 (and he’s bounced around since); season stat pages list him as a half/utility, so lock-only splits aren’t published the same way. Still, the move explains the light “pure lock” ledger above. Wests Tigers+1

Big picture (2025)​

  • Props/front row are carrying the middle: May has been the Tigers’ premier metre + offload threat; Twal and Seyfarth stabilise the ruck with tidy defence; the Fainu brothers/Hunt add punch and line-speed pressure but with more defensive variance. Zero Tackle+3Zero Tackle+3Zero Tackle+3
  • Lock has been “by committee”: Mostly bench minutes for specialist LKs, with Doueihi and others rotated into 13 at times to change the ball-playing/links — a tactical choice rather than a single 80-minute lock. Wests Tigers

Notes on the numbers​

  • Source tables: 2025 season cumulative player stats (runs AR, run metres ARM, tackles TK, missed MT, offloads OL, tackle breaks TB, minutes, etc.). I converted to per-game rates for comparability. Zero Tackle
  • Team list/context for the lock shuffle is from the club’s official Round-20 and later announcements. Wests Tigers+1
If you want, I can also normalise these to per-80 (rates scaled by minutes) and chart “metres/80 vs tackles/80” to show each middle’s role on a two-axis plot.

Here’s the per-80 normalised chart for the Wests Tigers’ 2025 front-rowers and locks:
1755944485325.png
  • X-axis = Run Metres/80 (yardage output)
  • Y-axis = Tackles/80 (defensive workrate)
You can see clear role separation:

  • Terrell May sits top-right: elite in both metres and tackles.
  • Alex Twal and Seyfarth cluster high on tackles but lower metres (classic grinders).
  • Royce Hunt pushes big metres/80 with lower defensive load (impact prop profile).
  • Sione Fainu balances metres and tackles but with more missed tackles than Twal.
  • Locks (Murray, Laulilii) are low-minutes in 2025 → suppressed outputs even when scaled.
Would you like me to also chart discipline/creativity metrics (missed tackles & offloads per 80) to show efficiency vs second-phase play?

TLDR: Seyfarth is a low run meter but high tackling Prop that can cross the line.
Heck he beats Terrell May in tackles! Can't fault that work rate.

adding too this is the defensive analysis:
Here’s the Creativity vs Defensive Risk chart (per-80 normalised):

1755944728316.png
  • X-axis = Offloads/80 (attacking creativity, second-phase potential)
  • Y-axis = Missed Tackles/80 (defensive risk)

Key takeaways:​


  • Terrell May — very high offloads but also higher missed tackles: high-risk, high-reward.
  • Royce Hunt — moderate offloads with controlled missed tackles: impact without huge defensive downside.
  • Sione Fainu — middling offloads but relatively high missed tackles → looser defensively.
  • Alex Twal & Seyfarth — extremely low offloads, very tidy defensively: safe, low-variance forwards.
  • Samuela Fainu — low offloads, but surprisingly higher missed tackles → workmanlike but not as efficient.
  • Locks (Murray, Laulilii) — essentially no offload game, low missed tackles (due to small-minute roles).

  • This shows how May drives second-phase play but at the cost of defensive solidity, while Twal/Seyfarth are the safety-first anchors.
