Josh Reynolds

Now i know Reynolds does not have the most gratified level of respect amongst non bulldogs supporters (especially amongst the blue and gold army) however the energy and enthusiasm this bloke brings to the field would work wonders in BA's vision.

It was a massive privilege to watch reynolds tonight continually show enthusiasm for every little aspect and moment that occurred on the footy field. Its something that is very rare in todays modern game and something that shone in greats like Lockyer and Johns.

Now i while i think that Reynolds is not as naturally gifted in all areas as someone like a corey norman however i do think he can still be a great player if we were to sign him. He has a neat running game as a half, can kick a footy well when he needs too and he can also add a definite spark to the team by creating something out of nothing with his never say die attitude.

It continually run over in mind tonight over and over how parramatta could have definitely used that never say die spark that reynolds possesses in our team against the sharks and the titans. He would definetely add a extra dimension to our team, one we are desperately lacking atm.

Id also think he would work in a yin-yang way with corey, corey is a much more easy going player while reynolds plays every game like its his last. They both would offer each other something new and enhance each others performance.

Before my argument is refuted as just a reaction to tonights game, i do think reynolds gets extremely held back by the dogs which negatively affects his performance majority of the time and makes him look bad. He is only one man out of 17 that could definitely be better suited to a new environment. This is just my opinion, however i do think we should throw some money at him (just as we have rumored to have a week or so ago), if we were to hypothetically sign him id love to see him play the number 9 role supporting Guth and Norman as the halves, i think that will make for interesting play.

Sandow nullified his own game with his attitude. I thought sandow played his best years under BA than any other coach.

I've said on another thread I want us to sign him. The guy just competes and I trust BA would improve his game and choose the correct position for him either hooker or half. He would go well in our squad imo.

No more than 500K. Not the 800K he wants.

The guy is all motivation and enthusiasm. I worry if he'd have much of either at a new club. Some players are best to take what they are offered at the club they love. Dykes rings a bell.

I can't stand the grub but there is no denying he bleeds blue and white. Bulldogs thinking they could survive without the other grub surely has paid off not. Perhaps he is trying to get his pay packet up. Bulldogs stayed in the game win or loose it works. Beating Broncos well done.

  Agree with you PK. Dogs played a perfect game of wet weather footy last night ie big forwards going forward in dour conditions, no flair or razzmatazz and Reynolds game suits that to a tee.
  Reynolds' heart lies with Dogs same as watmoughs did lie with manly same as Haynes' lies with us.
  It's a risk to bring someone here who repeatedly says he loves another club.

Flanagan said he would look into him, cant see them getting rid of maloney. Townsaid on the other hand great no frills half for corey wouldnt come.l cheap but wouldnt need massive overs with the like of moses brooks reynolds on offer could get him at a good price

  Brissy, pretty good call. Last night I was cheering for the dogs, & I hate saying that. Reynolds had his best game for ages, when he actually missed two tries being awarded, 1 by offside, and the other accidental knock on. He played a very controlled but open game with excellent all round ball plays. If you could get that out of him every week or even half the season then he would be a top buy.
  
  Is he no more than another bigger Sandow that wants to do things his way and tell the coach his job?
