Nobody can deny he played well in each appearance off the bench in the back half of last season.
He’s a no frills players that people love to bag and refuse to give credit to when it’s due.

Sorry, but my assessment was objective. He had a few energetic defensive displays off the bench in SOME games. Not ALL games.
That does not make him a walk up for the top 17. He is a reserve grader if we are being honest.
I've got no problem having him in the 18-30 to cover for injuries, but to think he is our number 1 choice at lock is scary. What is scarier is you are defending it.
I don’t believe he’s done enough to be a regular starting 13 either, but we don’t exactly have choice in that position.

Man Keith Galloway.
Guy certainly put in for us. Even Blake Austin really ran hard as a wranger.
Seyfarth could go a more Feral Wranger look though. He just looks lanky.

But Webster said....
this is a very accurate summary of that try. I agree with others that Seyfarth is largely ineffective as an individual. However, Seyfarth is also one player that is consistently putting in to run the lines, whether he is the intended receiver or not. It is these repeat efforts that he has that makes me value him as a handy squad member and if some of our more celebrated forwards put in the efforts he does then perhaps the forward pack might actually perform like the top 8 pack many on here rate them as.
Ultimately, I think our team is pretty much stuffed is Seyfarth is our starting lock. I also think he should remain the starting lock as noone else is outperforming him for the position.
Webster coached him when he was coming through the grades and was extremely keen to get him to the Warriors, that’s FACT.
The other FACT is he was a much improved player last season and was one of our better players whenever called upon.
Some people just like hiding behind a rock and only coming out when they can bag players they dislike, but are nowhere to be heard when the same player has a good game.
Another FACT is Benji obviously sees something in him to make it public knowledge he had the front running to become our starting 13, those who live in a fantasy world and think they know more than a coach who sees the players almost every day are simply off their heads.
So nobody including myself has claimed he’s a superstar or even claimed he should definitely be part of our NRL starting line up, but to slander a bloke who has spilled blood for the club since he was a young kid is nothing but a disgrace and to say he never runs the ball hard or has a go is a blatant lie.
A much more level headed and sensible post 👍

Bro... these are just your opinions. They are not "FACTS". You are the one in fantasy world.
How old are you son? Happy to go easy on you in you're a youngun.
It’s FACT not opinion.
If sounds like you are more knowledgeable than Benji too ?
It’s laughable many self proclaimed experts come on this forum.

Around in circles son...my weekend is too busy to argue with children.
When I give reason as to why I don’t believe certain players regularly perform to an expectation placed on them by many, I still give credit where credit is due, acknowledge their strengths and acknowledge when they play well.
Some players such as Brooks in the past and now players such as Seyfarth, To’a and Kepaoa etc have some so called supporters wanting to bag them no matter what and never acknowledge when they play well.
It works both ways if you want in be a loud mouth and constantly stick the knife into a certain player, at least have the respect to acknowledge when they play well.
Maybe pull your head out of your backside occasionally and have a bit of respect.

You’ll find most people give reasons as to why they dislike a player. You don’t have to agree, but it doesn’t make them a self proclaimed expert. It’s the point of a forum.

When someone states their opinion as fact, I have lost all respect I'm afraid.
It seems you are the one with your head firmly up your backside.
This whole argument started when a couple of experts claimed Seyfarth never runs the ball hard.
I responded by stating it’s funny how he scored a try in a recent trial straight through the guts of the opposing defence if he doesn’t ever run onto the ball strongly. Not the first time he’s done that in recent times.
So whether you like the way he plays or not, you cannot deny he has some traits that add value to the team and it’s quite obvious our coach sees some value in him too.
You have no facts to back up your argument, goodnight.

Do you know what my argument is?
Yes you joined the bandwagon like a good sheep and claimed Seyfarth never ever runs the ball strongly, does not add any value and is not an NRL standard player,
I’ve stated plenty of reasons as to why those opinions are currently way off the mark.
