Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

[TigerNeddyK]

Panned out much like expected. Not overly outraged by anything I saw. I look at how our squad reads on paper compared to every opposition and can't see one team ATM that is weaker.
Was pleased with Galvin.
Expect Benji will be target number one within a couple more games because based on the performance of the the lower grades he has got jack to promote when fans start questioning selections.

Shane Flanagan just came back on the radar ! 🤣🤔😉

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.

Yeah that sounded very Sheens like didn’t it. I’ve heard Benji say that about Sheensy before that they could do whatever they wanted in a game so long as it was practiced.

With a current score of Dolphins 32 v Dragons 0 maybe he will, but would we want him. At least we scored 12 v Raiders.

Then all we have to practice is tackling, running hard, scoring tries and kicking goals.
I knew there was a solution waiting out there !

I am in agreement that Sullivan had a shocking game & the 4 year deal looks to be an awful one but does the guy not deserve more than one game before being written off completely?

Watch the tries they scored… his attitude sucked

I agree it’s one game

But it’s those reasons the dragons let him go so it’s not like this was a one off

We bought him hoping he would change it we could get more out of him

Sometimes when you buy a lemon it stays like a lemon… actually more often than not

I agree.

BUT.

You need to set standards quickly. It's not a termination sentence. But he needs to earn that jumper. He was given first shot. I expect Sezar gets the next.

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

I think this is the best play.

Bud seems very arrogant, undeservedly.
Another lower grade legend who thinks he's something special.

Our future needs to be focused on the likes of Latu, Galvin and TDS (post Api)...
Sullivan doesn't make the cut.

I hope we can trade him on for a centre or something when a team gets desperate for a half (hopefully this day comes)

 

[Buttface]

No half backs at 14-17. Unless you know the two on the park are shite. So that covers the first game. From here on I’d be sending him back to control reggies and when he can, and Sezer can’t, or is injured, then he gets another crack.

1 game in. Galvin might be horrible next week.

I remember plenty on here thinking Cini was the next Brett Morris after his first game.

I bet my left testicle that Galvin will be our long term 6.

lol Cini. Everyone got carried away bc he had a game against the dragons and his mates were in the stands.

Cini sucked from day one.

Slow, no foot work, not tall, the only thing he had was a mullet

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

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

I agree 100% Bud is a 6 like Brooks was always a running 6, as much as it pains me to say Brooks is a better running 6. Bud himself declared he was a 7, wanted the 7 wanted the keys. We've been here before it doesnt end well for us or him.
In saying all that Bud would probably be best served for us as a bench option or a back up 6, 7 in a pinch but similar to Brooks his price tag means we will probably try and shoe horn him into something he's not.
Benji's selection of Bud at 7 with a guy on debut at 6 probably means we haven't learnt our lesson as a club in this regard. To me with the team selection as it was on the weekend we were always on the back foot before the game even began on the weekend, Sezer had to start at 7 and Benji had to choose between Bud and Galvin he couldn't.

that damn luke brooks fault again ....

Pretty sure it was Trumps fault.

1 game in. Galvin might be horrible next week.

Wasn’t there a guy who debuted at the SCG back around 2013 who had a blinder? What ever happened to him?

 

[Harvey]

He was almost as bad in the trials. He was worth a shot. Wasn’t worth 4 years

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Pretty sure it was Trumps fault.

that too always trumps fault according to some haha

 

[Vicious]

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.

I know he’s a good attacking player when he puts his mind to it, but I agree with you MT.
I really thought he’d be pumped up to make a good impression in his first official game for his new club, but he looked like a deer in headlights.

He was played out of position for the next ten years

A chance to own the 7 at the new club, 1st game of the year, 1st game at a new club, 1st game under someone he looked up to in Benji.

He couldn’t have stuffed it more.

Let’s hope we see him fight back, be a shame for a kid with his talent if he doesn’t.
