Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Surely this could have waited?
He has only just started showing signs of improvement.

Yep that's my exact thinking... he went from crap to average & got rewarded with a 3 year extension

 

[weststigerman]

Thought the club was done rewarding mediocrity & now we go & hand Seyfarth a 3 year extension 😂 🤦‍♂️

I'll take the mediocrity of Seyfarth over the overpriced underachievers like Bateman and Stefano any day.

Hearing real strong whispers of TDS defecting to Dogs*

Where there's smoke there's fire.
Gould denying it pretty much confirms it's true.

I don't believe TDS will leave for one minute, greater chance of us signing Curtis Rona.

However if by some snowflake chance in hell, we have Jared Haywood on a express learning curve and some very good 21/22yo talents in Kobie Wilson & Bailey Hodges who both IMO have significant potential especially Hodges.

Seems to be favouring that right knee....😎

How can u say that , if he’s going around conns that is a natural movement . Why are alone in here so quick to but our players down

 

[Vicious]

It's both. He is deemed fit to play but he will remain somewhat troubled by the injury for the remainder of his career.

Somewhat troubled, is he capable of running and changing direction at full speed ?
Based on what some of our forum friends have advised, he is hobbling around at training like a broken down hack.

 

[hammertime]

Depends what we are paying Seyfarth. If he's a bloke who is happy with a minimum wage contract, I can see why we would have locked him in.

 

[Wiz]

There’s nothing wrong with Seyfarth’s re-signing so long as they have him pegged for a roster spot from 17 to 25 over the length of his extension and he is paid in accordance with this.

Where I do have concerns is we now have Seyfarth and Twal both locked in for the next 3 (?) years taking up two middle roster spots.

The talent from the pathways system showing up, in a couple of year's time with the size of the talent pool always increasing in most cases we will have quality ready to step in even if we lose a decent player.

Its a joke buddy. How could I possibly ascertain that diagnosis from that photo?
Its also pointing out how easy it is to start a rumour on this forum that others will believe.
It is the reason this thread is so popular.

Yeah cause moving to a team to sit behind Reed Mahoney makes so much sense 😭

Lol even blind Freddy can see that it's a stepping exercise with the half cones some dudes need to take the sheet off the face and look.

It was JMK from the dolphins

Far from young footy wise.

Has he ever been capable of running and changing direction at full speed? His go has always been running straight and hard.
I'm told he is running freely but the knee is structurally weak, meaning more susceptible to copping a knock which could see him not complete or miss games. Also will require longer recovery times post games to allow inflammation to settle after a match.

Sounds promising.

Seyfarth is now being classed as an edge forward, like he was when coming through the pathways.
If you look to see what edge forwards are available to recruit from other clubs for 2026, there is next to nobody worthwhile available except Kai Pearce-Paul who will be looking for big money which we will not have available to spend if we upgrade Galvin.

And there is more ...

Wests Tigers lock in Pathways talent

Wests Tigers are delighted to confirm that two of the club’s brightest young Pathways talents have signed long-term extensions.

www.weststigers.com.au

I am very happy the club is locking away the best of its talent. And that is the key, keeping the best because the poachers will be out.

Hopefully Pheonix Godinet & Logan Brookes next.

As a young hooker trying to learn the game, I'd be frustrated having to pass to a first receiver of the quality of Jerome Luai. And Luai will influence the playing group in sticking together.

Good info greg but it's not going to relieve anxiety on here we need an Olam that will come out and smash them every week this unfortunately throws up a big question mark going forward if it is last year repeating itself, him, Doueihi and Bird remind you of the Beatles lyrics, I am the egg man, brittleness.
