Wondering if we are seeing his ceiling in trial games or if he’s got more improvement when the games count.

Very happy with that performance. We got exactly what we needed from thst preseason
I’m an Alex Seyfarth fan, but if we are full strength for round 2 I don’t think he makes our 19 as Murray offers more variety with his deceptive short passing game and his jink and change of direction when running the ball. Seyfarth a slightly better defender, but not much in it.
With Afoa, Makasini and Skelton all starting, my bench would be;
14. Hope
15. Murray
16. Sione Fainu
17. Pole
18. Hunt
19. To’a
Man, we have a real halves problem.
Madden and Andrews have been really, really good. Then you obviously have Luai, Latu and AD.
How do we hang on to Andrews particularly? Especially whilst keeping Latu happy.
Also - Murray has impressed the crap out of me. Never thought I'd see what he's shown in the trials from him.

Agree 100% with Latu, Andrews and Madden around there are interesting options at 6 and 7
Seyfarth needs coaching more than anyone. Love his enthusiasm but sometimes he needs to take a backseat and let the more skilful players have their moments.
And just play the bloody ball quickly.
Madden’s game management was a highlight of both trials and with Luai an off the cuff player, I can’t help thinking Madden will end up in the 7.
Latu has get his body right and Andrews is probably not quite at that grade.
In my opinion Seyfarth is a very valuable workaholic bench middle forward and he never lets us down when playing that role.
But I think he’s now in direct competition with Charlie Murray for that role and I could not be more impressed with the improvement I’ve seen with CM in both trial games. We lack a deceptive short passing game within our middle forwards and Charlie provides that as well as plenty of energy and effort.
His basic errors, brain explosions and unnecessary niggle actually do let us down though. That’s all very coachable and I hope he can get it out of his game this year.

When Terrell, KPP and Royce are fit and we get a look at Roberts and he impresses I don't have a spot for Seyfarth in my side.

You want competition for spots. Seyfarth is in our squad and will compete.
These 2 trials are just what the coaching staff would have wanted.
No serious injuries and the boys were getting better combos as the games went on.
I thought the captain was playing with more faith in the players around him.
The squad seems fitter.
Lots of promise in the younger players - did I mention Andrews ball playing and kicking game?
Oh, did I mention the Mak?

I have him as our third best second rower and one of our more experienced players, I want to see his execution match his effort this year.

My favourite Wests Tigers players of all time are Luke Brooks, Asu Kepaoa, Robert Jennings, and Alex Seyfarth. Absolute legends the lot of them. It was a special time when they were all on the park, there was some serious rugby league played at that time.
looks confident
Few coach killers in that lot.
