Bud News

[denis preston]

I do not think Suli would be a big loss his work-rate would be less than half of Lomax and he sets up hardly any tries for his winger

Did he mean Bud ?

Sorry i mistook Sulli for Suli

Would love Bud to stay but I can understand him seeking a starting role elsewhere.

unsure whether a gig at the Tigers or Bulldogs is better than playing 14 at Saints.

Then who else will make all the metres out piss weak foward pack don’t and get us out of our own end?
They never give him the ball too busy dumping inside to Ben Murdoch Masila for a settler

he doesn’t go looking for the ball enough , thats his own fault

Sullivan's hamstring injury is his main problem. An entitlement attitude is his second problem. I'd day bad advice from his manager would be his third problem. With the loss of Hunt, the dragons will need an experience player in the halves. Flanno will ensure his son is up to the job.

Sullivan has not really done the hard yards as many before him have.His injuries and Covid have not helped him.Would like him to stay however there are good reasons for him to go.Wish him well and given a clear run and free of injury we may see him reach the heights that he aspires.Good luck Bud.

His hammies at his age are a huge problem in my opinion. Secondly he is no walk up to be the tigers starting half back and lastly which is the better club us with Flanno or the Tigers as they are. Call me biased but I don’t think the Tigers would pay him as much money and we are looking better. Lastly he would have to pass a medical and that might not be easy.

Bud has done far more time in Ressies than Amone or Sloan has.. and been an absolute standout at that level.. leading that side to wins in almost all of his games.... reminds me of Ramsey actually, one of the very few who got dropped and just went out and gave 150%, and they played Ramsey everywhere but fullback too..

I also keep hearing this small body thing, but Bud hits harder than Amone or Sloan.. but they do run at him all night if hes the main playmaker.. and he's not exactly behind a winning pack.

Sloan has had 30odd and Amone 50 games in the NRL, Sullivan has really played maybe 4or5 as the primary 7?

Anyway doesnt really matter, if he ends up going that's his call.. maybe we regret it, but we move on.. its a risk either way also, those hamstrings.. maybe its our fault the way we train him.. I also reckon he has put some weight on, he looks barrel chested like Bird, maybe thats due to injury, or maybe its just the weights program they do, iirc Sullivan lifts weight well above his weight class..

I've run out of f***s to give, whether he stays or goes, i'll be watching him with interest.

He's only going to the Tigers hardly cause for concern.

Yes mate , Im sorry to see him go and wish him all the best ...... I think his biggest concern is injuries , maybe the club is thinking another Kyle Stanley ? But then again the Club doesn't think much at all .......

 

[Dragonslayer]

A lot of 'ifs' with Bud atm.

Again it's his manager who requested this.
Even if he requests we still in our rights refuse the request if it is formally asked.

I find it strange also that he is 'touring' the WT facilities today,but not q of yhe coaches will he there to walk-through with him or even greet. They're preparing elsewhere for their game. So, strange 'appointment" imo.

Not saying Bud won't go, it just appears a bit contrived.

 

[RedVee_8]

I’ll be sad to see Bud go. I wish him well regardless.

 

[lombard]

Sounds like the tigers are going to offer a 3 year deal if he wants it.

 

[Number of the Beath]

Well, that will be two competent half-back rivals that (C)Hunt has seen off.

 

[Slippery Morris]

All Saints need now is Amone to be charged and out for a few years and have Flanno and Hunt as halves. From a potential great future spine of Sloan/Amone/Sullivan/Hunt to =Lomax/Flannagan/Hunt/Liddle....All because Hunt does not want to play 9.

It will be sad if next season Tigers are finals bound this time of year on the back of an outstanding season by Sullivan and Saints still down the bottom losing to most sides by less than 10 because we have a half who cannot close out a game. But hey he tries so hard. Sullivan will have Api at 9 who will make him look great with Papalii, Bateman running off him.

I love bagging Dogs supporters for letting Jonathon Thurston go all those years ago for Sherwin. I feel I may cop the same in the future over Sullivan. I really hope not and I am completely wrong. You never know though as Sullivan could still end up being a Kyle Stanley mark 2 which I hope not. Still feel so sorry for Kyle, would hate that to happen to anyone else.

I can guarantee if Tigers make the top 8 in 2024, it won't be due to Bud being their halfback. I like the kid, but he is not close to being a full year first choice NRL 7.

Having said that, I should go and place a bet on him being the 2024 Dally M winner now.
