Dumb or not if he’s backing himself he has my respect

Interesting wonder if he has something else in the pipeline. Maybe he will have a breakout year and is backing himself. Wouldn’t have been easy to pass up a 3yr deal given the year he had.
Wish him all the best for this season.

Everyone has their own agendas, hidden or not.
I like big red, he has enthusiasm and guts but I really think he hasn't been coached that well, just my observation.
I wonder how he would have developed in the Storm system.
My statement where I said I hope our coaches can unearth some hidden talent rings true. Big, tall, offloads, aggressive hitups etc.....just get it done and his career will sort itself out.

His improvement over the last few weeks is impressive. A danger running to the line & offloading. We might have overlooked him a little.

Definitely having an go and far from the worst.
But then again, playing for an extension so he should be all in.
On another note I thought Stef had a strong game last night, he’s just a bit hot and cold at times but 160+ metres last night and strong tackling.

He is playing for a contract but you also have to wonder if it is a push from coaching staff aswell as he seems more involved with plays

I've always liked Seyfarth and he slots into that lock forward role better than any payer we've played there this season. Pole gives better impact but Seyfarth is playing well.
Stef is the one I worry about. SOO rep, big contract and average performances. He was real good last night though. He needs to play to that level consistently.
Stef is still young and i am sure his standards will become more consistent as he gains experience.He is the least of my concerns

Seeing him at the ground yesterday Alex is a massive unit. Deserves a new deal the way he is playing. I reckon the Storm would be keeping a close eye on him

I was never a fan of this guy… but he has had a dig these past two months or so …give him another two years …👍

At this point, he's far more important to the club than Matamua.
There are some really good middles coming through the grades, so tough decisions need to be made. Seyfarth brings the right attitude each game. Far ahead of James & Matamua for mine.

I've always like the guy. He keeps going. His last hit-up is as strong as his first and when he gets smashed he just gets up and goes again.
My biggest concern with this team is getting our middle forward rotation right. We have a bunch of really good middle forwards and we need to keep the right ones.
Starting Props:- Stef & Klemmer
Starting Lock:- Fonua Pole
Bench Props:- Alex Twal, Shawn Blore
Bench Lock:- Alex Seyfarth
Samuela Fainu is also going to have to get a shot somewhere. If he comes on as an edge forward well one of the middles will have to make way for IP or Bateman.
We also have Chris Faagutu & Kit Laulilii coming through the ranks.
I bet this is an unpopular opinion but I think signing Klemmer was a mistake. He is a big middle forward like Stef but I think we look better when we have more mobile faster middle forwards like Twal, Pole and Seyfarth ripping in. Having Klemmer on a long term contract takes up a spot that we need to give to other guys.
I wouldn't be fussed if Stef or Klemmer go. They cost big dollars and I think Pole, Twal, Blore and Seyfarth are better for us.
Don't underestimate the value of experience and leadership.
Of course a player needs to contribute on field more than just experience. Tamou could not keep up. Klemmer is far exceeding Tamou's contribution.

Lol so Seyfarth finally manages to string a couple of games together where he isn’t complete garbage, in a contract year coincidentally, and we have a bunch of fools on here wanted to re-sign him. Stupidity and short term memory is truly ingrained in the Wests Tigers fanbase. He has been mediocre for 95% of the time he has been here.
We even have the usual suspects going as far as saying we would be fine letting go of Klemmer and Stef but I wouldn’t expect anything less than room temperature IQ takes from posters like earl.

Seyfarth has played really well and we seem to improve when he comes on.
@king_sirro mentioned a while ago that playing him as lock could be the key. His slight of hand passing before the line and his high work rate in defense could see him play a similar role to Yeo.
I am yet to be convinced on Matamua as future lock.
Personally, would be happy to see Seyfarth sign a new extension.

I view this as an admittance that he isn't good enough. I don't think he is that bad but if anyone is stating this now then it's clearly an issue when we are year 1 into a long term contract.
I'm worried about Bateman as well.
Recruitment needs to be smart. I'm not convinced Sheens got it right in Bateman and Klemmer. Let's see how they go next year.
Madge's signings in Api and IP are leaps and bounds better.
