Alex Seyfarth #232

[TonyTiger]

I don’t think some understand the importance of heart & soul players like these two.
Anyone watching surely agrees they were 2 of our best performed forwards over the back end of the 2023 season, not sure what more can be expected of them ?

We keep these 2 Slenders and cough up Blore (the only real beefcake in our pack) - go figure

Can we get forwards on the same coin that will do a better job? That's the question you need to ask. A team fall of superstars won't fit in the salary cap.

Can WE - No
Do other teams - Yes

Something for our buddies on the review to chew on.

Twal and Seyfarth bleed for the club. That's the type of player I want at the club. They deserve to be given a chance. You can't deny the fact they showed improvement this season.

I’m a bit of a Twal fan which I have always voiced. He’s a worker.

It’s the process that pisses me off when you read between the lines. Again the coaches looked at his contract, wanted someone better, voiced that and let him look externally.

In the interim, nothings happening recruiting wise so we’re forced to backflip. This has happened before with numerous also-rans and is the same reason coaches get sacked again and again. They never have the troops.

Sure we got him on a bit less coin, but the coach doesn’t want him, the player knows that so he may as well have left.

Then they sign a second plodder next day. We will always be shit under this management. They have NFI.

Great post Merlot. One of your best!

One can make the argument that it’s these kinds of players that are holding us back. I suppose you can argue that Twal offers something, but the fact he received no interest when told he was free to leave is telling. As for Seyfarth, he’s the kind of player who could only have a career at a club that’s bottom of the table.

Twal was probably our best forward this year, or at least after Origin he definitely was. Getting him back on less coin is a miracle and I'm stoked. I actually think he's surpassed Klemmer as a footballer based on my eye test. He runs harder and faster, now has an offload and he's an equally good defender. Twal still has a couple of years of his best football left and Klem is very likely on the back nine now.

Good ok signing, I’d assume he’d be cheap and he’s a decent bench forward who just needs to sort out his errors.

Look, he isn't the most amazing bloke to have played the game, but he puts in 110% effort every single game he plays.

If more Tigers players had even half the heart and had the same attitude as Seyfarth, we wouldn't be back to back spooners.

Actually happy to see him go around again, if for no other reason to hopefully have him build more of that culture around the club.

Seems to struggle with genetics to put on size. But hopefully can be more damaging in the offseason.

 

[BAGNF05]

Used to be Bulkier - Has slimmed up some....

Dunno a bit more size gives him any more impact though,
Makes less line breaks than Beau Ryan.

There’s a slug in my backyard with more leg speed. I would suggest the thing to Fulton but he’s not in the Tartak stable.

For some funny reason, Alex doing a hit up reminds me of the plastic bag from the "American Beauty" movie 🤔

Saw a photo of him getting tackled by DeBelin....
Looked like a little kid wrestling with his Dad, Was weird to see....

 

[innsaneink]

Looked good in game 1
Looked very awkward unco and pissed on Saturday... He was getting run over and the new found aggro we all thought he'd found went missing

 

[Batmans Parents]

The Luke Brooks of forwards, genuinely one of the most useless first grade players I have ever seen.

He’s a complete myth who will pull out a decent game every now and then which his brain dead fans will use to justify his continued presence in the team.

Seytard fans might be even stupider than the Brooks fans and that is saying something.

Seyfarth is holding the #13 until he gets beaten out by the higher quality players like Lualili'i & Fa'agutu.

They are just not ready right now.

Consider Seyfarth a place holder & hope that the young guys development is fast.

Guys like Seyfarth hold value in a club. Work & train hard, have the occasional good game in them. At some point in the season, these guys get asked to play a role & help the team to not lose. You just need him to be #18-#20 in the pecking order, not in the top 6 forwards we run out.

The other 2 need to get over 10 in the beep test before even thinking about regular NRL.

I recon Sam Fainu at 19yrs, 109kg, harder to stop and is more mobile than Seyfarth would be ideally suited to the 13 jumper. More upside, young and eager.
Could learn to pass from Latu and the coach.

 

[Tigrr2]

Sam Fainu can pass a football ok. Seyfarth might be a good trainer but in the heat of battle ain’t got it, sorry to say

According to who vicious? We praised Kit for having a good debut then trolled him for an off trial and we have yet seen what Faagutu is able to do (apart from a mini stint last year where he barely played in that trial in which he impressed a lot of people) due to injury this preseason. Just give them a little time this year and I'd say mid year one or both will be ready for NRL.
