Alex Seyfarth #232

I like Seyfarth he has a crack and was good last year. No world beater but I like him off the bench. He’s a very good bench forward in limited minutes.

I have said it many times,Seyfarth is a good bench player but i don't think he will ever be a good starter for us..He is ideal for bringing enthusiasm coming off the bench.

He’s a perfect bench player . Can play 3 positions , to nrl standard , and is a well liked team mate . He’s just lacking that thing that takes you over the top to be a starter on the edge . At least right now . I hope he gets there . Like Shaun Lane had a huge uptick in performance for a couple of years like 5 years ago .
 
I just think he's too weak in the tackle, lacks pace and doesn't play high tempo and is a weak runner. Beside all that he does at least try hard, it's just still a bit weird that we bothered to sign him long term when he's probably below average compared to most second rowers in the league. In fact I can't think of a starting 2nd rower who I'd prefer seyfarth to.

Might want to look at how many other penalties and 6 again Seyfarth gave away, his discipline is poor and always has been, tries hard, but look at the bigger picture.

So did your namesake but i would give my left one if he was still fit and motivated enough to play for us despite his age.Our pack would not get monstered the way it often is.To use an old saying you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs and Seyfarth is a bloke you can rely upon each week.

That’s fine. He is a knucklehead. But that set mattered the most, defensively we were hitting hard, they had warriors on the ropes. The crucial penalty swung momentum, tigers never recovered.

I can’t remember if tigers had burned their challenge earlier, if not they should have challenged
 
I said at the start of the season that if Seyfarth didn't fix his discipline issues he was going to cost us games. It's been 4 games and he's already cost us one...

Sure, CNK milked it but at the end of the day Seyfarth made contact with his head and it was a penalty. He needs to aim lower, he was standing up right and needed to get down. Lazy and ill disciplined with the game on the line. You can cop that early in the game but not at 24-24, in our own half with less than 10 to go. He's not a rookie, he should know better. We need to stop making excuses for him.

Sione Fainu was also in the tackle and he got down low enough to ensure he wasn't anywhere near CNK head. I just hope de doesn't cost us more games. Unfortunately we're at the point where he doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes.

Surely your taking the piss. He is standing there still and someone jumps into him and hits his shoulder. What is he supposed to do except brace for the contact. That was not even worth a penalty at the beginning of the game yet at end and costing a team.

Lazy - it was his 3rd tackle in that set alone. He was the best player on the field for our team - if some of the others showed that much effort we would win every week by plenty
