Alex Seyfarth #232

Being in the leadership group doesn't mean you get a free ride into the run on side, there's a lot of new recruits that will be pushing for a spot next season with some depth at last.

He may find himself leading from reserve grade if Bunty stands and delivers which I expect him to do there's one already that's in front of him, he's going to find it tough to break into the side.

It must mean he's doing something right at training & is obviously looked at as a senior figure amongst the squad. He was also the captain in our 2nd trial against Parra this year.

You're still missing the point all that means jack if he struggles to make the team because the depth pushes him out of contention when the team sheet comes out on Tuesdays.

It's good that he leads at training and if true looked up to, but I doubt that he's the only one.

Competition for spots is only a good thing & I'm sure it'll make Seyfarth a better player. At the end of the day he's a loyal clubman who rejected rival club offers & tooks unders to stay at the club. Players like this help the club sign the likes of Luai, Terrell & retain the Bulas & the Taylans. There should always be spots for guys like that the club.

That last comment is bullshit x100. You telling me there’s teams who wouldn’t trade thier top 3 for luai , Korisau and Terrell May ?
The dragons ? Manly ? Newcastle ? Even the warriors ? The bears next year … that’s such hyperbole . You reckon the raiders wouldn’t have a long hard think about swapping strange , Weekes and Tapine … I mean I wouldn’t do it , but it’s a lot closer than people may think . Even the cowboys … you reckon they wouldn’t consider drinkwater , Deardon and Nanai for our top 3 . Once again , it’s close .
Some of you guys talk sooo much shit . It’s unbearable to read . I’d even suggest the dogs would consider it , considering they wanted all 3 as preferences to whatever is there right now ie. they went in ahead for luai and May , and ended up with Thompson and Galvin . They went in real hard for Api as well . Man and I totally forgot about the eels . You reckon they’re not trading a washed Paulo , a 32 year old Moses and a done nothing yet Ilongi for our top 3 , now lomax isn’t there anymore ? How many seconds you reckon it would take for them agree … I put money on 1/10th of Pico second ….theyre absolutely screwed next season now lomax has gone . He was 50% of thier offense , and worked his rear end off out of yardage .

Ok that’s good to hear as based on your evaluation we should not have too much trouble making the top 8 in 2026.
Time will tell as 2026 is a new season for all players to prove their value.

?? There’s 30 players in a squad plus 6 dev players. Once again what you’re saying has zero grounding in logic …. For example we lost many games last year with 1 player being off thier game , most infamously the Naden game , and the Mason game . Youre only as strong as your weakest link . And at no point did I comment on any teams strength of squad . I commented on your outrageous statement around our top 3 players . It was extreme hyperbole , crossed with nonsense to win an arbitrary argument on a forum .

Right. It was because of players like Seyfarth that Luai, Terrell signed on and Taylan and Bula re-signed 🤣🤣🤣

So you reckon your weakest players will lose you a game moreso than your strongest players will win you a game ?
It doesn’t work that way for teams such as the Broncos , Panthers, Storm, Raiders or any of the teams that made the top 8 in 2025 for that matter.
All I ever hear is excuses as to why our highest paid players cannot get us enough wins, when will the excuses stop and they actually get us more wins than losses ?

Defence wins premierships .....and is across your entire squad .....not the strongest or weakest team members
 
Vicious said:
Of course that is true, but you also need to score points.
No matter how good your defence is you still generally need to score a minimum of 3-4 tries to win most games,

We scored 28 points a few times and lost footy games .....if we can't keep sides to under 28 .....our defence is the problem
Too many posters expect us to score 58 points and get into a scoring spree
The quicker we learn to defend the better

KPP is a very good defender, so he helps, but we are getting plenty of fan suggestions of having Royce and Bunty both in our top 17.
Not sure how having them both in the same team helps us defend better ?
Api struggled with plenty of missed tackles from playing far too many minutes each game in 2025, how does that improve with him being a year older in 2026 ?
To’a has never been a good defender, how does that improve in 2026 ?
Good attacking play including making line breaks and getting repeat sets helps fatigue the opposition and makes defending easier. This certainly wasn’t our strong points in 2025, it will need big improvement in 2026.

I'm guessing you read my earlier debate about Seyfarth, just gave up in the end some dudes just can't be shifted by logic, they think the sun shines out, how can you change that opinion lol.

Yep, it’s like a cult or they’re probably friend and family. I gave just about every one of his stats across every round, including totals and averages, as well as comparing against other second rowers. One of the moron crew said I was cherry-picking yet couldn’t tell what I left out lol

I'm not gonna argue with you about what's more important ....defence or attack . Too many better football minds than mine all believe d is more important than attack
Look at the 2005 side ...finals footy the most we conceded was 16 .....two 6s and a 10 in the other semis ......
