There is talk that the tigers would be prepared to carry most of his contract, ie a team could pick him up for less than 400k per annum which is madness. He is twice the player s williams and sezer would ever be. Id love to get him to challenge g williams for a starting spot. At worst he provides impact off the bench at a bargain price. I think he'd also be great for our club culture. Wonder if ennis will get in his ear and try get him across
Is there another Reynolds im not aware of? This post can't be about the Tigers and former Bulldog Reynolds

There would be a lot of other clubs that'd need reynolds in their roster more than Raiders do

Taylor and Reynolds. Dream team. Boydy laying the platform. Laying down that is.

At least Reynolds would have an empty tank by the end of the game, I doubt the other 2 would ever get the fuel light on!

There's quite a few clubs that could invest the time in getting his pass off the ground improved and play him at Hooker. The Cowboys come to mind.

You’d be crazy to sign him on anything significant. But considering the dearth of talent in the halves in the NRL he’s definitelu worth a gamble if someone can manage getting him cheap.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

They just bought Robson from Dragz.

I think JRey is a utility 9, maybe a 80min 9. I really think/ thought he was going to be the modern version of Ennis.

Crazy thing is, Tigz future isnt Benji, yet he cant get a look in, and obviously isnt going to hang around an wait. Unless they see Mbye as the future 6, but he was on the chopping block until Origin.

Dogs could do worse than bringing him back at half the cost.

He kinda fits the Sharks purchase mould, esp with Flanno Jr walking to Chook$$$.

Titans.... hahahaha

Knights might like a cheapish NRL ready 6/9.

Bronx could use some halves.

They overpaid him so much. That’s the problem.

Reynolds isnt the Tigers future either. Or any of the teams listed.
Fingers crossed he goes to the Broncos

It wouldn't surprise me to see him go to the Broncos as a back up 6/9 or something... they're always able to squeeze out some sort of deal and they made some very ordinary recruitment choices in recent years

No thanks for Josh Reynolds. Increasingly injury prone at 30 years of age. I understand why the West Tigers want to offload him. The reported $3m contract over 4 years, still with 2 years to run, was a shocker. His heart is at the Dogs but they don't want him either. England or Country Captain/Coach awaits.

I can see why the Tigers made this play - they needed a circuit breaker and someone who could instil some passion and effort in their squad. He was a above average starting 6 at the time, and while he was definitely paid overs, it was as much for what he was supposed to bring off the field as on the field. The biggest risk was his chequered history with injury, and that has obviously come back to bight them in the ****.

Yep, totally worth the gamble for that club at that time. Didn’t pan out but that happens with gambles.

No one should be thinking of doing it now though - particularly not us. He’s busted and old and odds-on to waste whatever amount in the cap we’d pay him.

He’ll be a good pickup if he gets his head right.

I really hope he didn’t have a blow up for being dropped, because he definitely deserved a kick in the backside.

Below average NRL centre. Another Sione Mata'utia... hype never matched the game.

Yeah Sione goes alright. Hard for him to live up to his hype after being selected to play for Australia 3 times when he was 18, but that’s hardly his fault

He's a but over-hyped but he's definitely an attacking weapon. He has the potential to be something of a blockbuster BJ Leilua type centre (perhaps not quite the ball/offload skills) in a couple of years if he keeps at his game. Situation reminds me a bit of Leilua too- talented but unsettled at the Knights, very much a career that could go either way right now.

That right edge he's on has been unsettled all year. Definitely capable of a lot more than he's shown at the knights.

It's not a comment on his current form that's for sure :) I wouldn't be breaking the bank to sign him though. His attitude has been poor in the face of some challenges. Only 22. Still a lot to learn.

Lachlan Timm no contract for 2020. Leads NSW Cup in every statistic, and the form prop of the competition

Tackles - 624
All runs - 290
Run metres - 2,925
Post contact metres 1,053

Could be a useful addition?

Would you trade Simmonsen or Kris for Raimen straight up?
Simo would be a hard no, and honestly... and i know im higher on Kris than most... i think id like my chances with Kris over him too.
Honestly, i just dont see much in Raimen at all. He can break tackles but he has no idea what to do defensively, his work ball in hand outside of tackling breaking is average and his decision making is appalling.

And this could easily come back to haunt me, tackle busters always have a chance... but i've seen nothing from would make me want him. He's be behind Croker, Beej, Cotric, and Kris at centre, and i dont think he can play wing, and we've got Cotric, Raps, Simo and Oldfield on the wing.

Have to give credit to Brown. He told them last week the axe would fall and he has backed his words. Obviously some a little precious about being dropped. Drastic giving him the flick! Dont think we have heard the last of this one! No place for attitudes bigger than the game in any club
