Think we need more talk about the youngsters coming through and being signed as that is the clubs focus at the moment,really the only thing we can be abit optimistic about atm, be good to hear more about these kids, where their skill levels are at

Difficulty is that the young guys have hardly played any footy in the last 2 years.

Lol looking at some of the comments about a young kid signing I might have to keep it to myself in future. So much negativity in here.

Yep some people on here are just waiting for a chance to criticise. Booooring!

Ok so he isnt the quickest or most explosive player we have seen but i thought he showed some good touches in those highlights.

Showed patience at times, seems to read the play pretty well for a young guy. More a footballer than an athlete is how id look at him.

A project player who needs some good coaching to reach NRL level.

There is no X factor about him.

He's an 18 year old high school kid who's played some Q cup....

Such negativity mate, are you OK?

I’m fine. I can only go off what I see can’t I.

If he has better highlights, why not post them and sell what he can do.

If I was a recruiter, there is nothing I’m seeing here to pay him to play.

The kid is 17. I don't know what you expect him to be. Sure he might not end up anything but why are we already putting a line through a 17 year old?

Seyfarth has passion and that is in short supply.

I got a lot a time for Seyfarth.

He's our version of Dale Finucane in the making.
 
Quite a few of my mates are also 10 year + members. I often share info on Whatsapp that comes from a few on the forum.

Anytime the conversation comes up about the forum and why they don’t get on here the answer is consistent.

“Every time I visit I get fed up with all the negativity”

I am not trying to be harsh but I honestly think a large number of people on here need professional help to get their mindset right.

We haven’t finished in the top half of the competition in 10 seasons and are currently coming 13th. Not much to be positive about tbh.

Also suggesting people get professional help? Come on man

**Storm legend names intriguing destination for Eels skipper**

Melbourne Storm icon Cameron Smith has named the Wests Tigers as the team which should make a play for the reportedly attainable Parramatta Eels captain Clint Gutherson.

Smith is of the belief Gutherson could attract big money, especially from a team such as the Tigers who are in need of a major leadership presence

no thanks. Daine Laurie shows as much passion for a fraction of a price.

You are correct. I think the negativity has increased lately and most likely reflects the health situation most of us are in. I'm probably guilty of it myself so can't preach but it is noticeably more negative.

He kind of reminds me of Darren Senter, really rubs up opposition players and fans the wrong way but his own love him.
Seems demand a lot as a leader from his team to win. Has a real want to win which over comes his averageness as a footballer. Could do with some of his attitude in the joint to be honest.

I recently took a short break from this place because of the negativity and it was good and healthy for me, Ill probably do it regularly.

I think its natural for negativity based on the performance of the team at the moment but the same people banging on about the same thing over and over and over again does my head in.

I have no problem if anyone wants Brooks, Madge or Mbye sacked but I can only hear "cos he sucks" so many times.

Its just like us telling him to go give Cronk a hug and a kiss.
Yes we do need abit more leadership in our squad but not with the mouth Gutherson has , that's for sure.

Then we definitely shouldn’t go for Gutho.

There’s a difference between constructive criticism and just having a whinge though.

As already has been pointed out, when the club hasn’t been able to finish in the top half of the ladder for a decade, people get fed up. It’s well deserved when you think how bad that it is.

Yeah i agree. May be a footballer in there though. A guy who does the right things at the right time and understands where to put himself and where the gaps are.

Highlights clip is from 1 x game which was round 1....
Some of the best players aren't playing their best in round 1 and take a few weeks to get back into the swing of things.

I saw him :
set up his winger multiple times
Run straight and hard
Compete for the ball
Beat his opposing defender(s)

Prospect signing of course.
I'm liking what I'm seeing.
Hope he excels.

Who knows, in a year or two in our system, he could prove to be an outstanding recruitment find.

Does anyone know if Gebbie is still with us?

Now that the season is over, I suspect not. No loss either.
