Well said, competent imo is a perfect description of Sezer. Just wish he could kick goals.
I will add that I think Croft falls into the same category and having them both would give us some stability in the halves.

Ivan Cleary's message to Wests Tigers stars: We want them here but they aren't indispensable
"The star of the team is the team". That has long been Ivan Cleary's coaching philosophy. And he won't shy away from it as he approaches delicate discussions surrounding the future of superstars Aaron Woods and James Tedesco.

Still not playing very well. It just looks like it because of the team hes in. No other backwrower makes more errors than him.
We have become the club that generates interest in the NRL not for the good that happens on the field, but all the stuff that happens off the field that amuses some and winds up the poor rusted ons.
I'm convinced we make fans from other clubs grateful that they don't follow WTs.

Was that the previous 5 year plan? Or part of this one?From April, 2017:

It’s certainly an interesting article and a good read six years on, knowing what we know now.From April, 2017:

It is the blueprint for all of our 5 year plans,next year we are going to break new ground by implementing a 7 year plan guaranteed to work

The previous one with Ivan.
It is just the usual rinse and repeat and throw a few others to the wolves policy.The only thing our dickheads are good at

Let’s get really radical and have a one year plan, yes, I know it’s outrageous and audacious but it can be done, just ask Andrew Webster !

Pascoe appears to have softened his stance on the mediocrity benchmark…
As always in these cunning plans management have the rules ONLY apply to others and not themselves

Judgement was passed on the mediocrity scale though, not the success scale.
Sezer isn’t the marquee 7 signing we were all wishing for. I’m not sure how we would attract one right now.
However, I do think he can bring some value to the club. If it’s a short deal say 1 year with 1 year club option I’d take that. We need someone that can organise this rabble. We haven’t had an organising half for a long time and are suffering from it.
We need someone who can direct us around the field, brings some leadership to what is a very young side. I’m not sure Luke would ever be able to do this but Sezer seems like he can.
I haven’t watch a lot of SL but he seems to have a pretty good passing game (often Luke would take the wrong option or throw a poor pass). We need to get more value out of players like Paps and I think maybe Sezer can unlock players better with his passing.
He also looks to have a good kicking game short and long. He doesn’t have the running game of Luke but right now the team needs to be organised more than having a strong runner. Unlock others in the team is the goal.
He isn’t going to have an incredible highlights package but I feel he could bring some structure which we are desperate for.

Sezer is far far superior to Brooks… and has played finals footy …

He played finals footy in 2019 which will be 5 years prior by 2024.
In that 5 years Sezer has suffered injuries and got much older, meaning one of his strengths which was his speed off the mark has now diminished.
Based on what I’ve seen and heard he is now too fragile to take the ball to the line, so won’t help us in that respect either.
At this stage of his career he’s about on par with Will Smith and we have seen how that worked out,
