I have been consistent with my view on him.
I have given him credit when he had a good game as well. I do hope he steps up, just doubt he will.

Let’s be honest he has had a fair crack (more than most) and overall hasn’t made the jump up to NRL level well.

My view is in his 47 games he has played he hasn’t been consistent and isn’t up to NRL level. He has had probably 6 games that have been up to grade. You throw the 1 game around, cool that’s 1 of the 6. Find 20-30 of his 47 games up to NRL quality - you won’t be able too.

Last year he had his best spurt for a few games - if he plays like that most weeks awesome - but he declined fast as well & before his spurt was an a grade plodder. That’s a big concern for me from a 4yr NRL trained player (who everyone says trains well etc).

Maybe trying to play multiple forward roles impacted him and he might get to settle down and we see the best of him. Hope it happens.

I believe he is a genuine NRL player but that is a decision for our coaches to make.

They decide whether he’s an NRL player, Seyfarth then decides whether he’s a worthy one.

Or he gets sacked which the Tigers could have done and he gets zip

The Tigers gave him a.golden hand shake says alot that the dragons have passed on him

They have a pretty handy 3/4 line...
Tyrl Sloane, Lomax,. Suli, Bird, Ravalawa... A. Few.there would.be handy for us

If he comes back in a few years with an attitude change, why wouldn’t he be welcomed back to the club?

To do what exactly??

He has ZERO professional skills including football nous - and is a terrible role model!!

This isn't Lee's Charity House for wayward morons anymore!!

I didn’t think about this till just now. Imagine having Tuiaki and Lote on the wings in 2010.

That was the plan genius....

Noone suspected Taniela's injury was career-ending at that time!

Inglis was 110kg when he was fullback for Souths.
True story.

Yeah - in the year he was "massively overweight" when we beat them at the SFS...

Saw Russell Crowe in the elevator at HT and he was fuming about the "fat fullback"'s lack of effort.

He was closer to 105-7kg in the year Souths won the GF - or any of his best years!

I think as time progresses we will continue to think of Benji with more and more rose-coloured glasses and those highlight reels will stick out more and more.

This is already in full affect. He was never the same player when he came back from rugby. That player that set up that Ayshford try was long gone. He was no longer one of the top players in the comp. Still scratch my head how a player could regress so much without injuries.

 

[Batmans Parents]

Not often I say this but I’m with GNR, he’s been average at best most weeks. We need to expect better than mediocre to climb the ladder.

Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day.

Up until a handful of games last year (which was a contract year btw), Seyfarth has been one of the most ineffective forwards to ever put on a Tigers jersey. And that’s bloody saying something! Before that mini run, he was averaging barely 30m a game. And we’ve now had two spoons in years where he has featured regularly (obviously not all his fault, just one of many contributors).

The fact that you have posters like paws and Vicious singing his praises is enough of an indicator that he is a glorified plodder. Two of the worst judges of talent to ever grace this forum.

Imo I think seyfarth should of never be used in the prop rotation and I think that this contributes to his poor numbers
Not saying he’s a world beater but just used incorrectly when the cupboard is bare

Well you know my views on the topic.

That is to say, the most powerful and dominant player I’ve ever seen is Bobby Lindner.

And it takes skill to pose such an insurmountable threat to the opposition and suck the footy life out of them until they are an unrecognisable heaving mass of toxic sludge.

Skill kind sir, is not just “bears dancing on barrels.”

With the accompanying 20 years of living off a single pass!!

Benji hasn’t been living off a single pass though.
His step & pass style is what made him.

People forget easily his impact because as fans we remember the performances (more bad than good - especially the passes in the stands)

Benji however did things no one else did at the time or prior really let alone even really thought of - was he consistent heck no but he imprinted on the game like no one has in the modern era.

Being involved in junior footy I have never seen the kids of all shapes/sizes have a player imprint like he did before or after - often nearly every kid would do the step and try the flick passes which we now see the steps and flick passes often during the season.

He made a very big imprint on the game attacking wise despite his record with us.

 

[AceofSpades]

Does anyone know who is currently on our injured/unavailable list atm? I know a lot doesn't get released to the public but a good indication of where we are and who could potentially play in our trials would be good to know

How TF is Gus allowed 2 speak with Daniel Suluku
Fifita and let him tour the facilities when he's
still under contract until the end of 2025? He's
already freed up $2m with retiring Josh Jackson,
Tevita Pangai Jnr & getting rid of their old
captain Raymond Faitala Mariner. Not to 4get
they also got cap relief for Bailey Biondi-Odo
for last year as well & freeing up a roster spot
for him. Completely overhauled the top 30 in
the last few years, credit to him. Glad we have
new people running the show. The last CEO and
Football director seem even more incompetent
now than before they left. We need 2 keep making
these cutthroat moves we made with Nofa in
relation to the club & cap moving forward. Full stop

Jackson Topine has not been to pre season training someone was telling me the other day so maybe a trade

Daniel Suluku Fifita ?

Debuted for the Chooks a few years back, and was touted as a future star because of his size and athleticism, but he's had a rocky start to his career through poor on field discipline. I didn't really notice him for Souths this year.
He seems like a serviceable prop, with plenty of size and aggression, but needs to learn how to keep it in check before he can be of any use to a team. Very much a fringe 1st grader at this stage

I wonder how much of the dogs cap is absorbed in those terminations.

I don't rate their team compared to ours. Especially when we get luai next year. We're stronger on the park and stronger in depth. The only place they have our measure is the outside backs.

Agree.

And I think everyone expected CC and Gus to lift their players but it hasn’t been forthcoming.

Then I think Gus fired a few warning shots over ccs bow last season.

My bet is that cc regrets his decision not to join us.

It’s become a graveyard for marquee. Their fans are very upset.
