Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

Trying to work out how Sullivan gets ditched by you (and I agree, he needs time out in reserve grade at least).
But AD gets another try at first grade?

Look, AD has to push another first grader out. I am not saying that they don't deserve a push out... We need to see KILLER form in reserve grade to let AD anywhere near first grade again.

If AD comes back it's Bench 17th spot for a few games. Honestly, the guy is far too busted to play NRL again.

AD is probably in his last year at WT and shouldn’t be NRL unless he earns it but even his worst games were not as bad as Bud’s game yesterday.
 
When Dragons wanted to let him go, why didn’t he grab a contract with a good SL club for 2 years playing at 7? Could have perfected his craft and then got a decent contract with an NRL club?
Was it some Futon/Pascoe magic throwing the clubs money around like burley?
Benji’s first challenge, developing Sullivan’s skills.

Sullivan's skills?
Resume writing skills?

We don't need him...
Need to find him a new club.

I want to put my hand up here 🙁 . I was one who sang the praises of Sulivan and I can openly admit I was totally wrong. I really thought he had some x factor but thus far he has shown absolutely zero , I'm even struggling to understand how his ability even got him anywhere near a rugby league career.

I’m also guilty of prematurely singing his praises. Turns out he’s as dumb as Brooks but devoid of any real pace.
 
He was pretty poor , he needs to head back a grade and earn a spot , even as 14 he doesn’t do much , looks like he has no interest at all , maybe ask the question , do you want out , he may feel he has made the wrong call coming to us and that’s fine , just ask him , could work out well for both him and club , I don’t see a spot for him at all in 2025 , But I will say this , the whole team looked poor yesterday , we lost the game by not stopping them unloading the pill , many times they just stood and passed when 2 and 3 of our guys were holding them and our other guys had there backs turned , We are also a light weight team , Lomax standing next to Seyfarts , lomax was way taller and bigger much bigger , Staines tries to have a go but again tall no weight and gets stopped dead every time

From X-Factor to Z-Factor ?
 
I can’t believe how bad he is this season.
Have seen abit of him over the years & he has never been close to this bad.

He just looks lost and disinterested.
Seems like a very dumb player, he has had all off season and now 6 games (trials) yet looks totally lost in our system.

It’s like every game is 1st time he has been with the team or seen a football.

He shouldn’t get a run at NRL level with us until he shows consistent results in cup or else we flick him. Heck would swap him for Schuster right now.

Poor recruitment and retention decision. Could have kept Laurie who is a better player and for far less.

Laurie begged Penrith to take him back.
Said he'd play for free...
Didn't care about the Tigers at all.

Same attitude with Sullivan.
Except Dragons probably still wouldn't take him back for free.
Messed up big time with this one.

I know you never rated him Demps but he is a superior player to Sullivan and certainly would not be costing us near as much.

Bud needs to be playing 80 mins in cup, not sitting on the bench.

Bud playing 14 is not helping him to be a better half, and it’s not helping the team either. TDS should be 14 rotated with Simplekin every fortnight or so to ease the stress of NRL in TDS, but still getting full games in reggies. Then hopefully by the end of the year TDS is going well enough we can get rid of Simplekin.
Bud needs full games in the 7 to further his development.
 
He'll be in Super League next season. Feel he has too much ego (don't mean this in a bad way) to play long time in NSW Cup. I said this at the start of the season, if you can't make it in to a Dragons or Tigers team, then no other NRL team will be interested in you as a first choice.

it’s looking that way…

Better part of 4 years left on his deal and the people that made the call to sign him are already a long time gone…. Parting gift maybe …

Laurie never really wanted to be here, he just knew he would get guaranteed game time in the NRL to try and make a name for himself and move on. How much NRL is he playing these days? Although he was never a fullback, no work ethic.
