Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

Bulldog Ritchie saying in today’s telegraph that new Hull coach John Cartwright keen on making Bud his first signing … would be a good result for us if they can move him on …although I would still expect the Tigers to pay some of his deal moving forward …

He’ll be back in league, but not that fast. He’ll go to Japan, make a small fortune for a couple of years, and be back.

More than half the Japanese Rugby season falls in our off/ pre-season. It usually finishes by May.

I have a feeling Roosters and Manu have done this to get him paid extra so that he can come back on slightly less money.

Hope he does. Probably my favourite player.

They will probably also get the rugby convert bonus aswell
 
I think Bud Sullivan would make a good 14. If he can't find a club, he's got that Kodi Nikorima build where he can make an impact in attack with speed against tired forwards and he can play less minutes. He can also set up tries as has been seen so far this year (mostly from passes). Obviously not ideal, but if he can be a great 14 (utility), then the 500K per year he's on would be better valued than if he was starting in the team and failing in many areas that expose his weaknesses
 
Good coaching to focus on his effort areas, focus on him defending strongly at all times and focus on mixing up his kicking game and he could become a very valuable player.
Not many younger emerging halves have the natural attacking instincts that he has.
 
Bud Sullivan has shown some steady improvement over the last few weeks.

If they could sort some kind of 'loan deal' for a year & he gets regular game time- I think he's a player with talent.

He lacks a proper organising foil next to him to take away his need to run the team. He's Luke Brooks all over again.

I dunno. Brooks had his issues but compared to Bud he looks like Andrew Johns.

Sometimes.

Sullivan doesn't direct very well, but when he's attacking the line- he's much more effective. I still think he's the modern day Darrell Trindell. In the right team, he's a dangerous attacking player.

He dummies a lot, sometimes I think he should play 9, Galvin 7 and Api 6 because Api can sure make these bullet passes straight to wings.

Yes, but that's not a bad thing... if he isn't the teams Halfback!

Bud had a shocking start, but has improved his form and played harder.


Somehow Newcastle is holding on to junior halves like Crossland. I feel we have to punt Sullivan, would like to loan him out.
