Jayden "Bud" Sullivan #278

Getting Sullivan didn't help get the Fainu's, did it? They are all managed by Tartak.

It always seemed like a strange deal, especially at that price.and because no one ever really talked him up from the club after it was done.

Fainus were signed months before Bud

Interesting comparison. I have no recollection of what mother’s milk tastes like, so that is no use to me !
Just a simple it tastes like the best beer you’ve ever tasted would get me !

The original from Czech Republic is exceptional and has been described as the best lager in the world many times,it is not called Budweiser though as the yanks changed the name for their markets.Dan Murphys has it but it's not cheap

We must get Tartak 2 get the Bud deal off the books
that was dumb from Pascoe, he tricked Benji, they
even tipped off the media & took photos from the
Top deck of the COE at the time, it was back page
of the sport section. Tartak is alright, he gets shit
done we have a decent relationship now the old
regime is gone. He got Birdy over the line for us earlier,
I think we should do a deal 4 JAC straight swap
for 2 years with heaps of clauses. Laulilii not ready
just my opinion, I know a lot of people won't like it
but it's feasible at least, we'll free up another spot
for a forward if we haven't already this is separate
 
The other point about not paying half of Buds salary to play elsewhere is Douehi gone sometime next year,Galvin no certainty to re sign end next year,and Latu mite get frustrated not in run on team
As someone said,7s aren't falling out of the trees,and we can make his crazy deal work 4 us..and if not he gets to lead the Koe team
And if he's not happy with that...
Nah,payout a couple of the midget kids b4 Bud

So we should keep an our 4th half option who’s on 650kish around just incase?

Or pay 300k to let him go away and give us about 350k cap and an extra spot on our roster.

If it gets to bud playing to save our season id wager our season is over! Get rid of him asap. No hate to him, it’s unfortunate situation but he’s on way too much for a just incase we need him. We are also needing roster spots more than free cap space atm.

It's 550 btw....its a sunk cost from a poor decision.
We save a merge 250 pa By punting him on this deal,and lose a serviceable 7
There are more useless unsericable players occupying slots we shld target first
But we're all entitled to our opinion

Where's this 'Extra Roster Spot' talk come from?
Still need back up Halves / Utilities,
And what are you going to get for the 200k Difference?

I've never wanted him here,
But the thinking we're gonna go out and buy superstar x because we got rid of our reserve grade half,
Doesn't hold much weight.
Even if you promote a kid (As we've done last year) He still costs money....

Actually we don’t. I’d say Mason will take his spot on a much better deal for the club and team.
With Mason signed to a dev/supplementary contract this year he can be called on from round 1. Better at this stage to have a talented local jnr as our next cab off the rank then paying Sullivan 500k to play reserves.

Yeah....
Fair Play Mate.
Isn't he the backup Fullback though?
 
From memory Bud was signed before Sezar was signed
Before Luai was signed

And all this was prior to Galvin coming from behind all of them to a starting 5/8.

When Bud was signed he was, by all rights, viewed as a starter.

The club just loaded up on the position after that.

If Galvin never emerges & Luai never did the unthinkable & decide the Tigers was a destination club...

Bud & Latu are your 2025 halves.

Just as an idea- if the club can't find someone to take him, could they restructure his contract similar to how they shifted Bateman from an $800k player to a $650k player by giving him a payout & restructure at the same time?

At $500k, Bud is an expensive insurance policy.

At $300k & below, he's potentially the best KOE #7 in the NRL, and one of the better insurance policies out there.

While there is cap space to play with, I'd explore all the possibilities available to rebalance the roster & the cap.

It's not a good situation that came from us paying:
550k~ for a rookie (who did play 7 at St George and had some kind of form)
signed on for 4 years.

Yes this was at a time we lost Brooks, AD injured, etc and had not yet signed Sezer. Still it's us making a desperate signing instead of a targetted signing.

We need to get out of desperate signing mode and 4 year deals unless the player is an utter gun (i.e. Luai).
