He’s pretty much Sezer - just on a better team which makes him look good. Bog ordinary, doesn’t scare teams at all

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
I certainly wouldn’t throw the inevitable big lump of overs at someone like him and his glass-like body... if we ever decide to splash the cash on a top half it has to be someone who still has some upside we can benefit from - not someone who has already clearly demonstrated their limited ceiling like Reynolds.

It’s like generational halves grow on trees, let alone premiership halves. But we don’t need those type around here do we!!!

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
No one is suggesting that they do.
But if you are going to put your money down on the table - do you do it for someone solid but with obvious limitations like Reynolds? Or do you shoot for someone who has more upside and a chance at being truly “generational”? Only then do you get value for your money - in the salary cap environment the worst thing you can do is hand a fat pay packet to someone who has already played his best football.
Adam Reynolds is not even close to being “generational”.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
If either of the Reynolds is a generational player, then they are the third and fourth brother to Mark and Donnie Wahlberg.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
If we think we're too good for Adam Reynolds, we'll get exactly what we **** deserve.

The point is we had one, and he left at the first chance. And you want to knock back Adam Reynolds, your off your head.mamando wrote:No one is suggesting that they do.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
Remember that time Sezer and Williams steered the Rabbitohs to a premiership? Oh wait.
I’d give away both our halves + Ricky Stuart to sign Adam Reynolds.

Have I missed something here were Adam or Josh Reynolds available for us to sign?

Sorry, I didn't think it was serious.
The proper answer is no.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
The Tigers are appealing so it is unlikely there will be any movement until after that has been finalised.
If they do need to offload a player Reynolds and Packer would be worth pursuing.

Tigers have also said that even if the appeal fails, they won't have to release anyone because they actually managed their cap correctly. So that's that.Green eyed Mick wrote:The Tigers are appealing so it is unlikely there will be any movement until after that has been finalised.

Also did we sign a kiwi 7s player named sione molia ?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
On what planet wouldn't Adam Reynolds be good for this club? Quite possibly the best value contract in the NRL if the reported $500k per season is true.
Certainly better value than Johnson.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
If you rank the starting halfbacks from all 16 clubs our man SWilliams is bottom 2.
And that's off the top of my head.
It's the one position where we a lacking big time.
We should be active in improving this position in our spine at all times.

Lurching towards an eerily similar conversation that we had collective about a much maligned half at the club right now.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑December 22, 2018, 7:02 pm On what planet wouldn't Adam Reynolds be good for this club?

I wonder if Adam Reynolds came here, and immediately forgot how to play if we'd start re-writing his history or if we might accept our coach is black hole for halves.

Don't know why it takes one more decent half to convince anybody.

But based on never seeing play and not even really knowing anything about him, i'd be very hesitant to pay hige transfer fees for an english half... the history is NOT very good.
By all means bring him here, give him a shot, because it's not like our halves are very good, but i wouldnt be super keen to push the chips in the middle of the table for an english half. If we're going to make a bold move like that and shell out money for transfer fees, might as well try and identify the next Ponga in an NRL structure now and make them the godfather offer.
