Wasn’t happy when he dropped the ball in the tackle with 40secs till FT close to our line.. could’ve been a disaster

We are desperate if we need him in first grade.

There was no need to hold the ball out in front, in the wet when we are 6 points up with a minute to go, but we life and learn.
His discipline is much better this year in general and when he’s put in the right position on edges he’s a massive handful. Also quite skillful hands as she showed for Turuva try.
Has caught a fair few hospital balls from Galvin where Galvin probably should have just taken the hit.

A few years ago he tested the market and fot absolutely zero bites elsewhere.
Ideally he would be player 17-20 in our team but we are so short on backrowers. We are 2 good backrowers short at least at the moemnt.
He has played better this year. All effort. Still a few dumb plays like the 80th minute play.

Hes a frustrating player to watch

Dunno why he was looking to offload.

There have been and will be bites. But not as a starter. He shouldn't be starting.
Alex would be one of the best bench weapons in the competition. If we can jag an origin level edge backrower he would be great off the bench and provide depth as a good starter if required.
Look at the Dogs Kikau, Preston, Toupinoua all play edge. It’s a key position in the modern game.

He does have a few clangers but his work rate is good.

Yea, I am in the BabyGiraffeFanClub myself.
Seyfarth is playing above his weight, which is yes at tops a Bench player like 15/16...
But were winning games, games we would have lost last year.
A part of rebuilding a team is not just the gun players. Not just the Terrell May or Api Koroisau's... It's seeing players like Seyfarth change from Reserve grade to first grade. What I have seen is still some stupid errors but fewer errors and lots of work.... He reminds me of Bryce Gibbs but more reliable.
I thought he was good last night apart from the drop at the end. Lots of small things that don't appear on the scoreboard, for example he was the last man putting pressure on Su'A before he bombed the try.
Sure he's physically limited but he makes the most out of what god gave him. Valuable player to have in your team.

If when he dropped the ball at the end and the other team scored - would you still think he was good Lukic?

Galvin and seyfarth made notably more tackles than the other edge. Seyfarth held well defensively by the stats and probably the reason he’s paired with Galvin and not fainu
Teams are targeting him and Galvin and having success doing it
Seyfarth makes a lot of tackles but he rarely ever wins the contact, attackers always get a quick play the ball running at him. Big test for them against Storm

Dominant or not a tackle made is better than one missed
Of course, he scrambles well as do most of our boys. Effort can't be questioned in the team at the moment

I like him in the 17 but I think he's better off the bench covering middle and second row.
He's all effort but early in the game he gets dominated too much which kills our yardage sets. I'm confident Richo is targeting second row externally so hopefully we have this sorted in 2026.

Seyfarth is one of the most overrated players on this forum and it’s honestly a joke how often he gets excuses made for him on here. It’s showing signs of Brooks level excuses and delusion.
His only above average quality is his defence and even then he’s good for some clangers. He would be lucky to even sniff a bench spot, let alone a starting spot in any other top 8 or even top 12 side. He’s good for a few dumb penalties and errors a game and gets dominated in just about every carry he takes.
You want an example of the latter? He had 13 runs for 69m last week with 21 post carry metres. That is a joke for a starting second rower with his experience and size.
And that isn’t a one-off game. He averages around 66m a game. As a starter who plays 80 minutes. That’s a joke. I will happily take KPP or frankly any second rower with an pulse over that anchor. He has had every opportunity to develop and has done sweet FA.
