Alex Seyfarth #232

You contribute nothing, continually blaming fringe players for the teams failure and never ever comment on the real reasons why we cannot make the top 8.
Like a few of your friends you want all supporters to believe our highly paid players are gods gift to rugby league and abuse anyone that doesn’t agree.
Our top 3 players are clearly the worst of any clubs top 3 players across the NRL.

That last comment is bullshit x100. You telling me there’s teams who wouldn’t trade thier top 3 for luai , Korisau and Terrell May ?
The dragons ? Manly ? Newcastle ? Even the warriors ? The bears next year … that’s such hyperbole . You reckon the raiders wouldn’t have a long hard think about swapping strange , Weekes and Tapine … I mean I wouldn’t do it , but it’s a lot closer than people may think . Even the cowboys … you reckon they wouldn’t consider drinkwater , Deardon and Nanai for our top 3 . Once again , it’s close .
Some of you guys talk sooo much shit . It’s unbearable to read . I’d even suggest the dogs would consider it , considering they wanted all 3 as preferences to whatever is there right now ie. they went in ahead for luai and May , and ended up with Thompson and Galvin . They went in real hard for Api as well . Man and I totally forgot about the eels . You reckon they’re not trading a washed Paulo , a 32 year old Moses and a done nothing yet Ilongi for our top 3 , now lomax isn’t there anymore ? How many seconds you reckon it would take for them agree … I put money on 1/10th of Pico second ….theyre absolutely screwed next season now lomax has gone . He was 50% of thier offense , and worked his rear end off out of yardage .
 
Also Seyfarth is fine as an energy guy off the bench . His biggest asset is he’s in the game when he’s on . You know he’s out there for good or bad . Heaps of players come on and you end up after the game wondering what minutes they played … and you find out is was 30… hello Adam Blair !
Thats real asset . I think the problem for Alex is he has some refs will real confirmation bias against him , because his year 23 and 24 especially 23, he was extremely ill disciplined and stupid to be honest . Some of the penalties “he gave away “ in 24 were beyond biased in my opinion, where he had to change his game or tone it down a bit in 25. Of which he mostly succeeded . He trains hard , works hard in the gym , is a loud voice in training and helps drive standards . He has his defined role of 17th man / 18th man … and that should lead to success this year.

I love that seyfarth discussion has dominated this offseason.

Do people think we will be able to keep him away from R360 or will the dollars he could make mean we need to release him?

i think we should stand firm up until the point they make an offer, any offer, then releease him as a matter of urgency.
 
Damn, seeing this blokes thread trending, I was hoping it was breaking news he was leaving to play for the Grafton Ghosts or Muswellbrook Rams. Somewhere in his league.

The Tigers are going nowhere next year if this bloke is anywhere near the top 17.

The only time it would be 1% acceptable would be after RD20 if there are 5 injuries in front of him and the ball boy isnt available to play in the 17 jersey.

Benji and Richo need their heads read if they think a player of his calibre is what it takes. If he is named anywhere near the top squad it tells us everything we need to know if those 2 are serious or taking the piss again in 26.

Being in the leadership group doesn't mean you get a free ride into the run on side, there's a lot of new recruits that will be pushing for a spot next season with some depth at last.

He may find himself leading from reserve grade if Bunty stands and delivers which I expect him to do there's one already that's in front of him, he's going to find it tough to break into the side.

Bet he used chatgpt. No way he knows what 'integral' means.

Sorry to break it to you all but Seyfarth is an integral part to this team. The coaching staff obviously agree with the news of him being in the leadership group.

No surprise a Magpie supporter would revel in mediocre players being “integral” to the team 🤣

Still waiting for you to point out which of Seyfarths laughable stats I “cherry-picked” but I won’t hold my breath.

R360 would pay to keep him away. Imagine the fall in viewership after watching Seyfarths “hit-ups”

A lot of us including myself want our club legend to succeed at coaching but I agree with you Winston if he can't wake up to fact that with all the new recruits there's a better option, then one has to question his line of thinking pointing to bias.

It's just not on the best performer gets the spot.

It must mean he's doing something right at training & is obviously looked at as a senior figure amongst the squad. He was also the captain in our 2nd trial against Parra this year.

You're still missing the point all that means jack if he struggles to make the team because the depth pushes him out of contention when the team sheet comes out on Tuesdays.

It's good that he leads at training and if true looked up to, but I doubt that he's the only one.

Competition for spots is only a good thing & I'm sure it'll make Seyfarth a better player. At the end of the day he's a loyal clubman who rejected rival club offers & tooks unders to stay at the club. Players like this help the club sign the likes of Luai, Terrell & retain the Bulas & the Taylans. There should always be spots for guys like that the club.

Ok that’s good to hear as based on your evaluation we should not have too much trouble making the top 8 in 2026.
Time will tell as 2026 is a new season for all players to prove their value.

?? There’s 30 players in a squad plus 6 dev players. Once again what you’re saying has zero grounding in logic …. For example we lost many games last year with 1 player being off thier game , most infamously the Naden game , and the Mason game . Youre only as strong as your weakest link . And at no point did I comment on any teams strength of squad . I commented on your outrageous statement around our top 3 players . It was extreme hyperbole , crossed with nonsense to win an arbitrary argument on a forum .

Right. It was because of players like Seyfarth that Luai, Terrell signed on and Taylan and Bula re-signed 🤣🤣🤣

So you reckon your weakest players will lose you a game moreso than your strongest players will win you a game ?
It doesn’t work that way for teams such as the Broncos , Panthers, Storm, Raiders or any of the teams that made the top 8 in 2025 for that matter.
All I ever hear is excuses as to why our highest paid players cannot get us enough wins, when will the excuses stop and they actually get us more wins than losses ?
