Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

the only thing that is unfortunate for Bud is the fact that there are three potentially generational halves below him gunning for a spot next to Jarome Luai: Lachlan Galvin, Latu Fainu and Onitoni Large.

Seriously dude. Calm down. No pressure in that statement.

I’m gonna back him. He’s gonna kill it. He always killed us back then…

What’s one of the forum’s most popular sayings? We can make the most average player look world class. Just saying, killing us isn’t much of an endorsement.

He's got an easier path to be our 14. It's good to see he wants that number 7 though.

he does, but there will be competition on that front as well. Tallyn will likely spell Api and have his workload increased from 2025 onwards, while Heath Mason can cover fullback, the halves and 13.

both are local juniors who I think the club will prioritise when push comes to shove.

He did kill us to be fair one of them was a match winning try. Everyone can kill us
 
Let's be realistic.

A few months back everyone on this forum was close to ejaculating over the idea of signing Trindall from the Sharks.

Sullivan has a better resume than Trindall. And he's already signed on.

There are always going to be those unhappy with whoever is in our squad.

I bet the Dragons are wishing they hadn't let him go now.

Speaking of Trindall, I expect the comparisons in Bud's game to the former Trindall (Darryl) to become evident as we watch him play. He's that kind of player.

Extremely talented player when he’s switched on and focused.
Similar style of player to Scott Prince.

Interesting to me a lot of people on the forum are writing off Sullivan pretty early... can I ask why? Only 22 years old, hasn't been given a consistent run in first grade, has showed that he can provide X factor in attack & also has a bit of flair to him. I have heaps of family who are Dragons fans & they're all absolutely fuming that Bud was let go !!! I'm actually excited to see what we can do with a consistent run in first grade.

Doesn’t seem that sharp when interviewed and will be required to make sharp decisions.

In and out of FG at Stgeorge.

Seems a bit off the cuff rather than structured, sound familiar?

Hope he goes well but you asked.

It was bound to happen with anyone we signed. People have even whipped themselves into a frenzy over a journeyman like Sezar. Emotions tend to usually be either at zero or a hundred.

Bud is a talent. Big year coming up. Benji rates him!

As did AD and a bunch of others.

I really have to wonder if it is the Wests Tigers or the players not bringing out the potential. I have only seen 1 player live beyond their hype and that's Bula. Before that, Matterson surpassed the hype around us signing him.

Everyone else has been a let down or a real dissapointment
 
I have to wonder what on earth Jayden is thinking now.

Hoping it's "lock down NR7 spot at Tigers".

Because I can see exactly what is going to happen with our cap. Jayden come 2025 is likely to be a $500k paperweight, if he doesn't outperform Luai and Fainu.

I get that being "on again/off again" at St George wrecked this player. Hopefully Benji manages this well as we could use a Gun Center OR a X factor off the bench (be that Sullivan or Fainu).
