Love the narrative is Bud took less to be at the Bunnies, not that the Tigers are so keen for him not to be here that they would pay him 250k

That’s not a bad outcome.
Bud is not a bad player, but the way things have worked out, it would not have been any good tj anyone if he cone back to play with us.
If the rumours are true that the Broncos are paying 100k towards Jock Madden, then it works out even for us.

We managed that well eventually...good outcome

Lets get a GOOD prop or two

I think Ellis is retired 😂

Could get off the 24hr Flight tomorrow morning and have more impact on the Game at 5:30pm
than both those boys.

Are we not talking about the fact that Souths are only paying 250k and 300k for a first grade quality back up half the next two years?
Who really lost out in the deal?

For sure a win for Souths. Think it's neither here nor there for us. Buds Roster spot taken by Madden for probably the same amount or a little less if you include what we are paying for Bud.

Back up - agree. First grade quality - hmmmm, although bunnies mate said he had some ok games.

Will be interesting to see where Brisbane Tigers coach Matt Church ends up next season. Was coach of their premiership winning team in '23 with Hope, Murray & Faataape and close to Richo through the Brisbane Easts Tigers connection. Highly regarded. Would not surprise if he goes from one Tigers to another in some capacity.

The Brisbane Tigers can confirm that the 2025 Hostplus Cup season was Matt Church’s last season as the Head Coach. Church joined the Tigers ahead...

Could he be the guy to lead our reserve grade team , we also should be linked to them by club , Melbourne was linked to them but that ended

Seyfarth would quite easily make the bench for all but 3 or 4 of the named NRL clubs for this upcoming weekend.
No NRL team has the luxury of having all 4 bench players being star players who are capable of coming on the field and making a match winning impact.
Most teams have one or two toilers who come off the bench with the intention of getting the job done while the other higher paid starting players are having a rest.

Disagree. Most clubs wouldn't tolerate his ill discipline

Is his discipline any worse than Jerome’s ?
We tolerate him.

Honestly, who cares. Could Sullivan be the difference between Souths coming 13th and 12th next year? I guess he could, sure. Are we better off with $150k of dead cap or $550k of Bud Sullivan on the roster? Categorically the former. Does "winning" this particular trade have any meaningful impact on anything? Almost certainly not.

Anybody have an update on Taylan May extending ?? Getting very nervous waiting on this ,, would be very much on brand for us to somehow stuff this up .. old tigers brand that is Fedora and Pascoe vintage

Like Melbourne tolerates NAS? The bloke is suspended more then he's on the field.

I gotta say , I actually think most on here are being way too harsh on seyfarth re. The last suspension . 12 months ago that wouldn’t have even been a penalty , and as we have seen this season the nrl and officialdom, it’s extremely inconsistent , especially after the nrl community , via Andrew John’s , (another one of our games btw) had the nrl backflip for contentious decisions.
The higher you go toward the top of the ref hierarchy the closer you get towards refs having a “style” that at times conflicts with almost every brain cell of people watching the game .
The refs number 1 goal is self preservation , with the days of a Bull Harrigan type doing his own thing , for better or worse , long gone .
They’re all just variations of shit . The moment coaches got in and taught the refs actual tactics from clubs was the moment it all went to shit .
The refs know enough to hang themselves … which is really meaning they’re hanging the nrl community . It’s too late now , someone let the fox(refs) in the henhouse(nrl tactics) and the product re. Refs bamboomzling themselves into a mess , has suffered dramatically. Like I said they know way too much now …… but not nearly enough to be able to adjudicate on a lot of this stuff .
