Alex Seyfarth #232

I do not understand the forums obsession for bashing Seyfarth. He is a loyal clubman who is asked to do a job & is doing it well. No, he's not setting the world on fire but is slowly improving & his decoy/line running has opened up a lot of space for that right edge for Star/Turuva to capitalise. He is not someone who is breaking the bank & his teammates seem to like having him around. At the end of the day at least you know he is a Tiger at heart & every club needs a bloke like Red in its top 30.

We are moving from a low standards club historically to a club that expects first grade quality efforts. Every week we are lamenting a few brain fades from Seyfarth, eventually he’ll become a bench rotation forward and will need to cut out the errors to maintain a spot in the 17.

This. I think people on here have watched so many garbage players in this team over the last few years that it has lowered their expectations and standards significantly.

I’ll never doubt Seyfarths effort, it’s his ability or lack thereof that is the issue. Anyone with a pair of working eyes can tell what his issues are. He’s one good second rower signing away from fighting for a bench spot or being a starter in NSW Cup. While he’s no world beater, Blore would’ve been a better option that Seyfarth.

Been called negative on here for a few years for calling for our players, particularly veterans, to play at a professional level, not about to stop now that we are improving a bit.
 
Seyfarth is a type of player you need on a roster. He is okay and won't eat up much of your salary cap. From memory he denied a better contract from the Warriors because he wanted to stay here. He is getting better and I am happy enough with his position in the team.

Ideally we recruit a player for his position, but as Shane Richardson said, you have to sit and wait. Sometimes good players get released from contracts early, such as James Fisher-Harris going to the Warriors. But you can only get those players if your salary cap is in good shape, as those players won't stay on the market for very long.

I think that is the real issue here. Seyfarth is who we have so we have to make it work as best we can. IF there was someone banging down the door in Reggies they would push him out of the starting role. At the moment we should plan on using him for 25 with an upgrade in 26; however, as LG#1F has stated if someone drops from the tree we need to be in a positoin to jump. I expect that is why we are so lean on our cap numbers - we don't have long to fill the spots!

Now there is a player who is overated. I dont think anyone over rates Seyfarth - we just know that he competes which is far better than a barnstormer who turns up once in a blue moon.

Yea re David Fifita... I feel the Titans pumped his tyres far too much. Not his fault.

Imagine being a 21 year old, finding form and then having the Donkeys and Titans bid over 1m to sign you. ... You sign and your form drops...

TPJ seems very similar and both Fifita and TPJ could go to say Cronulla or Easts and I reckon they would do something with them (TPJ though doesn't want too).

Were kinda lucky with T May, as whatever happened with Easts and us he likes playing that role.

Were also lucky with Seyfarth. I am 100% a member of the babygiraffeappreciationclub and up for a clubbie who puts the work in.
Now is not the "lets sign a bunch of names" now is club culture and building time.

Yea we missed the chance at AFB... But I really doubt he would even touch here due to where we were at.

100% agree, we now hunt for people to fit the exact position we need. Right now we need another 2RF badly and that's it. We don't go signing massive min/max good on paper deals. Fewer signings with us building the blokes we got...

So our team can GEL
 
Richo should be back in a week or so and hopefully those cap number start to fill before June 30.

Hoping some of those signings he was talking about are good ones and for before the June 30 cut off and not next season.

What were the 4 tigers players who let the pass go past them thinking - if someone attacks the ball we are fine. Wasn't the best pass but wasn't the pass that lead to the try but lack of effort from all of them

All Seyfarth had to do was run straight

The other 4 weren’t expecting the pass

That lose pass caused panic
 
Seyfarth has almost reached his potential development so what we see know is all he really capable as a player in our system. Next season he should ride the reserve bench or KOE.

Seyfarth has recently extended through to 2028… Personally I got no issues with him being a Top 30 guy at the club ..but he needs to be further down the depth chart and not an automatic starting selection each week …maybe if he played around 10 games a year that would be ideal …

Next year?
You're giving him 6 years more than most would.

All our players that come through the grades for us have always been relied upon too early
Seyfarth should not be starting but who is knocking down the door to drop him back.
You could say sucker is nearing but I believe you’re better off not rushing him. If he gets elevated and 2 games in has a mediocre game the wolves will be circling.
Richo really needs to hit that recruitment tree with a bulldozer

And yes I believe 14-17 are considered first grade positions
