Had we been a well coached team in contention, he would have taken less to stay. He had two options on the table both by absolute basket cases so he took the higher offer.

I’m just getting Fifita flash backs, clubs would absolutely have him their radar.

On an unrelated note talk about humble players, the current mob could learn from the likes of Webcke, Thorn and Civoniceva.

Thorn.
Or at least he's got Webcke's endorsement because he knocked back the All Blacks during his playing days because he wasn't ready.

I heard it before we signed Seibold that Thorn was being strongly considered for coach after Bennett.

It wouldn't matter if Bennett, Bellamy, Robinson and the ghost of Jack Gibson all wanted to take him out for a quick round of golf with Uncle Nick. He was under contract at the Broncos, the only reason we released him was because Seibold thought it was a good idea. At the time he was on the nose with Seibold for whatever reason, as I recall it was less that he wanted to leave so we let him go and more he was not wanted here so he found a new club.Ok, believe what you will, and yes Seibs fostered the environment. But Seibold wanted to buy him when he was coaching Souths. Then Su'A hit a spot of bad form and from all reports felt the pressure of underperforming at the Broncos. He chose to chase the opportunity to go to Souths.
Su'A's sacrifice for Bennett after 'going through motions' at Broncos
Jaydn Su'A is in cardinal and myrtle 12 months later than Anthony Seibold originally intended, and Wayne Bennett has the promising back-rower for much cheaper too.www.nrl.com
Yes, it is a shame he is now playing well. Yes, it's a shame Seibold flopped. The combination was not working. If it means he is now played into form, then good for him. Let's not lump it 100% on Seibold. Seibold had hopes for him that didn't pan out. Bennett was also interested and Su'A made the decision to leave. Maybe you can see why I disagree with the 100% figure.

To be honest, I remember a lot of people not caring at the time, especially as he kind of stunk it up for a while. Maybe we can get him back when he's available again.

What do you do next year? We aren't the Roosters, we can't sign an SBW, Keary, Jennings and one or two other big name stars in the offseason and escape scrutiny.
