Adam Reynolds at Halfback?

Posted by Clintorian on February 23, 2021 at 3:27pm in NRL

Seeing the article in the DT today, it's Interesting that the Bunnies have given him such a poor contract extension...
While I'll admit he's not outstanding, you can't deny he has been a pretty important and reliable feature in their success in the last couple of years. I think he deserves a bit more respect than what the Bunnies are showing here and we could potentially benefit from it. Yes injury is somewhat of a concern, but looking at the stats, it's nothing too different than what most players deal with year to year.

How could it work?

  • Adam Reynolds at Halfback
  • Moses to 5/8
  • Dylan Brown to left centre

Dylan Brown is definitely our long-term 5/8 option (potential captain too), but I think this just stabilises the team a little better across the park and fixes our centre issues. Thoughts?

    I love Adam REYNOLDS for everything that he represents for the bUNNIES.   Ultimate clubman. But he struggles through each season and I dont think he has two years left in him.    Not an option for us.   He will sign on with the Bunnies and retire a legend like the others and rightly so. 

    I am thinking it is what we actually do with the ball and when we give it that is the issue. Hopefully JOHNS is really earning his money this off season.

      If you are using the Tigers as a measuring stick then forget about seeing your team in a GF any time soon...

                If I'm an idiot what does that make you consider you pick on special needs people

          • Verticalsmile February 25, 2021 at 10:29am

            Just keep on picking on Special Needs people.

            Because that's all your good for

        Scotty, We can lead them to the watering hole but can't make them drink.

        • Scott Gregs > Verticalsmile February 24, 2021 at 6:37am

          Too right Vertical.

          You'd think some people around here were Jake Arthur.

    I don’t mind it Clintorian, as far as game control and kicking Reynolds is very good and age shouldn’t impact the best parts of his game too much. It’s not a slight on Mitch, but I’m not convinced he will ever have the mindset for a gf winning half, most players don’t. Would love to see him in a position where he’s free to run more. His running game is immense when he uses it.
