Do you expect Wests Tigers to have depth options that are genuine premiership class players? Shawn Blore started in the backrow for the Melbourne storm in a grand final and you are telling me he would be a poor option for depth at the worst club in NRL history? Hahahaha very unrealistic expectations. Blore replacing Seyfarth as a very good upgrade if the money is similar

Most responses to all this use zero context of the situation. Absolutely zero. No one saying they should be first picked, but as you say, as depth, money similar, it is an upgrade.

Replace poor depth options with other poor depth options. That's your take. A bad one at that. And basically what the club had done for years.

Blore is another who is a poor choice. That bloke cost Melbourne a couple of GFs. Despite his pros, Bellamy hasn't been able to shake the laziness and lack of hunt out of his game. And even being down on troops, Bellamy has decided to keep him on the fringes and bring in other players - one of which was under Wests nose all this time.

Mate, I am saying we need to, if we can, bring in a player or 2 that can fill a gap for a short period of time this season while we are under injury pressure.

Our current depth got smashed 68-0 last week and 40 and 50+ the other weeks.

We need bodies - no one is saying they need to be signed to multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts. A bit of perspective wouldn't go astray.

Rather than pissing on everyone else, how about offering your solution so we can pick that apart?

Hear, hear…
Shawn is a better defender and has some other attributes to his game other than tries hard - which he also does.

If it was a choice between using Blore vs Seyfarth on game day and your choice is the baby giraffe, you fair dinkum would have rocks in your head.

Recent performances have taken the sheet off the face of those blinded by their liking for him.

Leilua unhappy at minimal.game time at Saints looking for an immediate release.

If we got him cheap for this year and next only then renegotiate...could be handy

Desperate times

Just a guess and I may be totally wrong, but would he be requesting an immediate release if he didn’t already have interest from another club ?
I cannot think of any other club that ideally needs an edge back rower right now.
This being the case I’ve got a suspicion he is heading our way if the immediate release is granted by the Dragons.

I can’t disagree with that RHS.
I am one of quite a few that have kept backing Seyfarth’s inclusion in our top 17 as a low cost value for money type player, but at a similar cost Shawn Blore is a better player.
