Alex Seyfarth #232

I tend to believe he will be another Seyfarth in terms of his development. Unfortunately with the extra team we are likely to be cherry picked due to the talent we have. I think Matamua will be a fine player.

Yeah Matamua is only 20 & first season playing consistently against men in NSW Cup.

He will come on leaps & bounds with another pre-season & learning the Benji way. His ball skills are very good and he has the body shape to be a beast.

They have 29 players confirmed for 2024 already … who will they move on to re-sign him?

Doubt they go to 30 at this stage,,,

It's a watch this space with Jake Simpkin, AJ Kepaoa & Nofa I reckon.

Train & Trial contracts will be important next season too for depth. Rumours have us linked to Dean Hawkins & Kane Evans as T&T targets plus Jimmy Ngutlik will return on a Cup contract.

I'm also intrigued what they do with Chris Faagutu next season. I wouldn't be surprised if he's slotted into the top 30 also given he's an Isaac Moses client like Lachlan Galvin (and Moses will be holding us over a barrel threatening to take Faagutu to Manly if we don't given we have signed Samuela Fainu to top 30).

If you have expectations of them moving on several players,.. I’m not so confident … unless they are good prospects like Blore of course …

Its the way our club seems to operate historically

I reckon Jake Simpkin will go with TDS coming through & trade value he has as an up-and-coming hooker with NRL experience.

Personally I hope we move Kepaoa on as well as I'm not a fan of his on-field attitude (as well as handling), may have some currency.

Highly doubt we can offload Nofa unless he sees the value in going to SL.

I agree that Simpkin will go… he is not the worst and i can see another team will want him

No one will take on AJ so they should just cut him and pay him out as assume he is cheap, but they need that spot..

Really think they are going to be stuck with Nofo

They have to get rid of Simpkin surely.
I lost count of how many times his dad was on here talking about how much he hates the club and how desperate he is to leave.
You can't have someone like that around.

Jame Simpkin is extremely tough and a good young prospect who we have developed since he was very young.
He proved last Saturday night that he can be very effective at NRL level.
Problem is he’s not versatile and cannot really play another position.
With that in mind and the fact Da Siva appears to be a better long term prospect, it would be better if we had a more versatile player as our 3rd choice hooker, Bailey Sironen or Kurt Mann both spring to mind.
 
Simpkin played great last week and is still a youngster. The level of expectation on him from some at this club has been unwarranted. He will definitely be on other clubs radar.
 
Jake Simpkin must hold the world record for getting sacked on the goal line without getting the pass away. He’s average and needs to go. Sironen and Mann would be great replacements for Jake and his Dad.

I much prefer him in the middle. I think he is a little too slow for an edge. I really like him as a lock forward where he can ball play.

Fair enough - have to admit, haven't really taken enough notice of his speed. Maybe that's the issue. Was he a backrower coming through the grades?
