Benji is our biggest liability. He can't make sense of this talent. Just nonsense

Can someone please ask Benji why we are constantly in the top 3 for rival teams metres made against us and why we constantly have the least amount of middle forward changes in the first half ?
It’s a pattern and not a good one if we are hoping to win our fair share of games.

Where do you get that stat from? Is that meters conceded? The nrl stats don’t feature it.

 

[Merlot]

Well Benji keeps picking him as 18th man or 4th bench, he obviously sees something.

Poor old Seyfarth I respect what he's been able to do with his career, but he's hit a speed hump this past month, really sketchy play since the Cronulla game. He absolutely has to make his tackles and work his arse off otherwise he's no good to us for his limited attack and desperate lack of speed.

thats just about described the whole team s actions since the Cronulla game j;

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And - what are your thoughts moving on?

 

[TigerJunior4]

He was impressive on both sides of the ball. I’ll put my hand up and say I was worried he was named but he proved me wrong.

I also didn’t realise he was only 20 but physically he looks up to grade more than Tumeth ever did and he’ll continue to grow.

I am still concerned so many of our young forwards are being thrown to the wolves before they’ve had the opportunity to hone their game in Flegg or NSW Cup but hopefully we stick with this kid and give him some more time to develop.

 

[Milky]

Starts whilst Fainu is out, hopefully takes Seyfarths spot and Seyfarth moves to prop off the bench

We are winning our fair share of games.

 

[Buttface]

He looked more a srf than the baby giraffe.

I’d like to win more than 5 out of 11 wouldn’t you ?

 

[Tommy_the_Tiger]

Thought he was great last night. Effective in D and bent the line with the ball, didn't recognise how young he was either.

 

[tig_prmz]

Seyfarth bench, Sukkar in.

Hope S Fainu isn't too bad, seems to have played injured all year.

 

[weststigerman]

I didn't really rate him last year or the start of the year (took him 20 games in NSW Cup to make a line break), but the fact that he's shown significant improvement suggests he's worth persisting with.

Need to get him time in the NRL squad, our NSW Cup team isn't good for anyone.

 

[Donny Brasco]

I think sugarman went well, hope he keeps developing

Hopefully he stays long term

I’d say it’s because we have small middle forwards
(Hunt is the only real big body in our squad)
Plays Small minutes

May, Twal, Bird = Small for Front row
Can play long minutes

Pole,Fainu = stocky mid size
Neither can play long minutes

With our edge forwards
S.Fainu,Seyfarth
Both slight bodies

Compared to say the roosters
Whyte
Collins
Leniu
Crichton
Wong
Radley = small

Others have mentioned before we just don’t seem to look at body shapes when we recruit.

 

[Squater]

Why do so many not rate this guy?

I've been on the fence because I've watched him since he was 8 years old. He dominated as as kid but he didn't have that mongrel. He was a nice kid who just did what he had to so I thought he would never be tough enough to make it. But the 3 games he has played this he has looked great.

Coming on against Brisbane we were being carved up and he defended his side fantastic. He then came on last week against Melbourne when we were getting pumped and was our best defender.

Then tonight he looked like a beast. He runs a great line, has post contact metres, and looks strong in defence. His hit on Campbell Graham was superb.

Then you say he is only 20.

Deadset, I reckon we have a backrower here. Left or right, it doesn't matter, but he looked good on the left tonight.

I've defended Seyfarth but he really is someone who doesn't have the talent for the edge. He is a middle who can play 8 to 12 games a year.

Sukkar must start next game

I think your spot on. I rate this kid

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Happy birthday turning 21 yesterday

 

[hank37w]

We are winning our fair share of games.

5 out of 11 up until now dose not sound too bad on paper but we are about to enter into the more difficult part of the draw and already our lack of depth and NRL talent has already been on show for a few weeks.

Unless we get some injured players back and have them play out of their skins and Richo gets us some quality reinforcements before the June 30 deadline I feel that we will be bottom 4 and fighting it out for a 4th spoon then really does become a reality.

Hope to be proven wrong but as I have said elsewhere I think we struggle to win more than 3 more games for the remainder of the season unless something drastic takes place.

 

[jadtiger]

It is very early days in his career but what little he has shown so far suggests he may have a decent future.I hope he works as hard as he can and is a success and stays with WT.
