Alex Seyfarth #232

Needs to move down the depth chart and work on his game.
Theres a player in there somewhere.

Fallen into the Sean Keppie / Trent Liero mould for mine. Too many errors that can't be ignored.

Banished to NSW cup until he improves.

Another great game by Seyfarth:

80 minutes
51m on 7 runs (second lowest in the team)
22 post contact metres (third lowest in the team)
50 tackles (third in tackles after Api and May who made nearly 4x the metres he did)
Piss poor defense on the final try
Dumb errors right on Souths try line

But he showed effort and heart though. Am I doing it right, Seyfarth minions?

1 try conceded as he was busy complaining to the ref instead of getting up to make a tackle
1 try conceded as the last defender in a scramble defensive situation
1 try conceded as he was too weak to hold the man up

Am I missing something? Seems he was involved in 3/4 of their tries.
 
We need more talent so he falls to roster spot 22 to 26 where he belongs. He’s doing his best but it’s the poor state of our roster that means he is starting.

I was being nice leaving some of these out as the first one was a penalty but he still should have got his arse back in the defensive line instead of whining.

Second one was a mostly team effort.
 
I thought we was OK against the Cowboys in comparison to previous efforts. He's an average player getting killed by this idea of 'eyes up footy'.

He plays with his heart and not his head, and just needs to be given some really simple instructions to concentrate on. He has little awareness, he's not the kind of player you tell to 'play their own game'. You tell him to get the ball, carry it properly, and if you can give it to someone in a orange shirt who can play. You can have 2 offloads a game and if you get that right for 3 games you can have an extra one.

What would you tell him to do if you were his coach.? Apart from sit on the bench or NSW cup etc

Control you aggression but try to sting people out there. With and without the ball. And you’re not a ball player,

There's nothing you can tell him. He just doesn't have what it takes.

One of his best games for a while. I would tell him to run to the gaps. He did it once.
 
He is the type of player every team has but it's about how you use him.

You can't give him the ball on 4th or 5th tackle where he's forced to make a decision or in a situation where we have to score tries. You can't expect him to break a tackle and offload or get a quick PTB.

I don't mind him on the edge or in the middle either, but he needs to simplify his job:
1. kick chase, he MUST be behind the kicker every 5th tackle and lead the kickchase
2. Decoys, I don't know the numbers but he needs to keep running lines and decoys around Bula/ Mason. More often, I feel he's not even an option because he isn't in the frame.
3. He will partner with either Mason or Latu on that side. He has to be the one communicating. To'a is horrible with decision making in defence as well. Turuva and Seyfarth need to guide the defence there.

I don't care if he's taken 5 runs for 40m all game or if he's touched the ball 10 times all game. His responsibility are those three things and he needs to get better at all of them.
