Raiders player signing speculation 2018

[zim]

He's fully fit now. September this year he paid for his own 2 weeks of training and testing at the Australian Catholic University, specifically treating his chronic hamstring issue and the results were very positive.

Not many players are going to take that kind of initiative.

[RTW]

Reynolds new partner is pregnant with twins. I would think they would want to stay close to a support network.

From what I’ve read Tigers had heaps of space for their last spot so they’ll just sign a numpyy and remain under the cap.

Which means their squad remains garbage, and they no longer have the coach that was keeping them competitive.

Wooden spoon all the way in 2019.

I reckon they’re on the improve and Cleary’s salar cap squad building is his positive he’s had as a coach so far.

How many games did Reynolds actually play last year? Not many is the answer.

Considering we are still in 2018 he played heaps last year...
Not many this year though.

Tigers wont be releasing Eisenhuth or Marsters. You dont release your best forward or your best back.

With all the halves and hookers they have, youd think someone would be on the market. It pains me greatly, but id take Reynolds to play 6 right now, even if i do think he is a 9.

Does the testing simulate a game, ie contact? I thought he missed games with shoulder issues as well. I actually like him as a player. A real gritty team player that gets under your skin. Every team needs a genuine competitor like him.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve called Reynolds a grub but I’d take him. He’s an extremely well-liked club man who’d bring a great ethic off the field. And while he’s not a top class half, he’s a strong defender (in the position we’re most used to having bad defenders) and as competitive as they get.

Won’t come though and not sure about his body holding up either.

Tigers just got 650k added to their 2019 cap for the Farah ambassador deal that fell through. Very harsh penalty compared to past ones but they will have to shift players you'd think.

Serves them right. Misleading and deceptive conduct.

As long as they are consistent. Penrith got caught arranging TPAs last year and they got nothing. Brisbane guaranteed Boyd a post career job and it was all above board.

I'm just not surprised with the choice of clubs to make an example of.

It really is a joke. Slam the Tigers and Eels, recently and then 'there's nothing to see here' with the Broncos and Roosters.

It's hamstring testing so it's not going to be "game day" impact testing. They're not light on it though. Video is here: https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/12/07/jos ... ng-career/

Looking at that makes me cringe.

For what is worth the tigers are doing full training now in pre-season. Reynolds is participating without any strapping for at least 3 weeks now: https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/201 ... n-session/

No one knows for sure until he's gotten through a few rounds but it's not unheard of for recurring issues to be fixed over the off-season.

Reynolds... the one who has jumped the shark... don't want him.

I'm not following the reference?

Well in Happy Days, there was an episode where the Fonz "jumped a shark" on water skis.



Widely accepted to be the effective end of the series.

[zim]

Ah yeah I'm aware of that. I thought you were getting at something else. Fair enough.

[dubby]

I always thought Reynolds was over rated anyway. He's basically Austin without a running game

Reynolds is a top shelf competitor. He's up there with Thuston, Cronk, Maloney etc. You won't find many better in the game in that regard. Unfortunately he has a limited skill set which prevents him from becoming an elite NRL half. He's still an upgrade on our current situation.

Lol. We're probably a half way through discussing each half in the comp as possibly coming to the Raiders.

DCE to Raiders. Go.

[Sid]

our current halves situation reminds me of when we were having a hooker crisis around 4-5 years ago and fans were desperately hoping to sign a guy like Matt Srama

[Roger Kenworthy]

At this point in time I think the club is celebrating internally each time they can get a member of support staff to put pen to paper.

He beat some tough competition of no one else this year.

As he was proven correct the post should be deleted from this thread. Accuracy has no place here.

That's fair enough. He remind me of Lincoln Withers though

Reynolds partner having twins?

Imagine if they are as hypo as him!!

I do admire his never say die competitive nature, he would be a cult figure for us.
Even short term till one of the kids come through (fingers crossed)

I think they're actually very similar and in 2019, IMO anyways, the correct way to compare them is that Austin is basically Reynolds without his defensive tenacity.
Both are over-rated, both have limited passing games and lack touch with the boot, both make their bones on a running game that is reliant on over pursuit opening up the step back, or poor defensive reads to get them on the outside. They're both extremely good hustle players in attack and defence. Bring high energy. If given the option between the two, id take Reynolds right now... though i concede he's a marginally better player who is much less likeable.

[Sid]

Farah to retire, Reynolds to Hooker?

[Rickmando]

Reynolds... the one who has jumped the shark... don't want him.

Neither Reynolds would be any good!

Both seriously overrated, and made out of paper mache.... hard pass

How can you pass on Adam Reynolds with our current halves?

[BigPapa]

We're not signing any Reynolds just let it go.
