Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

[cktiger]

Bud is a running 6

Like brooks is a running 6

It’s benjis fault for putting the 7 on him and expecting him to be an organizing half back

He isn’t one.

They should sell him now bc we don’t need a 6.

Also he’s attitude sucks

But it wouldn’t matter anyway - he’s a 6 not a 7.

For some reason benji and sheens just never understood this about brooks and now same mistakes being made about bud

Yep… Galvin looks and plays like a 7.

Coz Galvin has the current seal of approval and others need to fit in. I can only imagine where Luai will play next year if Galvin still the preferred option. Looking like 7 to me.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

From Benji's press conference it was Bud's kicks that got him hooked.
Benji was upset that we were putting in kicks that weren't practiced at training.

Galvin had more kicks than Sullivan.
Should be excellent with some practise.

 

[gallagher]

1 game in. Galvin might be horrible next week.

Agree but he’s gonna be too big to be a 7… he’ll prob wear the 6 and luai the 7 tho… or another option is play him at first receiver like a 13 but don’t have him defend in the middle…

But yes you’re right galvin plays like a 7… he wants the ball in his hand every play which so great.

He’s like a Mitchel moses combined with Munster and Cleary and Wighton.


He’s gold

They sound extend him now for another two years in top of his current 3 yr deal on the basis that we top him up for the next 3 years… give him an incentive to extend

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Will you be at the game next Saturday night AHX ?

In spirit. Not in body. In saying that. I am inspired by the Wests Tigers fans that will attend. Admire your/their courage. On your way home grab some fresh crabs and oysters. Its a little sand track on the left going towards Kurnell. Top echolen seafood wise.

Tough call trying to to sell him with 4 years to go on his contract ?

No one is taking on that deal unless the Tigers pay like 75 percent

I said before a ball was kicked we should’ve moved him on after we signed luai and everyone bagged me

Yes I agree - I reckon someone would take him for $400k … maybe not now but when someone is down the bottom of the ladder in 6 weeks or so… I would take a $150/200k hair cut to remove him for 4 yrs

People know that his a 6.

Someone might pay $400k for a good #14 or someone who needs some spark and has a solid #7 already

 

[hank37w]

He would probably kill it else where.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

We paid money for all these halves but it seems the cheapest one is the best one.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

How much did we reportedly pay him

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

To play on the wing? Great question.

Why not swap them next week and see how that pans out, we’ve gotta experiment as we have nothing to lose. And Haynes is a key player, maybe put Galvin on him ?
Other alternative is Bud to bench/Reggie’s and Sezer starts.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

We might need a coach that can not run faster than the players down the track. You know, a 5 year plan...

 

[tigermate]

Bud to 14

Sezer at 7

We just need someone who can kick on the 5th and get us in good field position

Wouldn’t want to put that on an 18yr old

Try and get Bud to have a few good games at 14 and then flick him

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And Galvin at 8

After 1 game yes.
If he clicks into gear he can play footy but at his age paying on potential no one will do unless they are desperate.

Don’t know what happened to him against the Raiders he was beyond bad, nearly the worst game by a player have seen - says alot for us as we have seen a few.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Exactly. First game. Thank you Sir for having a head on your shoulders.

You'd think that coming to a new club, with his NRL career on the line, that he'd fire up. Sure, he has a 4 year deal, but realistically we have Luai coming next year and there is only one spot available in the halves for him and two others. At this stage, he's the odd man out. The odd man out won't survive beyond 2025.

Yesterday was pretty pathetic from him if I'm being honest. His tackling style looked like that of a guy who had barely played the game and was scared of getting hurt. I don't know what happened in the last 3-4 years but he's not the same player he was. No wonder the Dragons were happy to let him go.

Is it a result of that he’s always had a bunch of great kids outside him making him look good?? Hope not

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What if you are right?
