Josh Reynolds??

Hey fellas,
What do you guys think of Josh Reynolds on a 1 year deal with an option as a replacement for injured D Brown? Considering that he probably wants to leave the Tigers and play some footy/finals footy, could be good as he is experienced and is a smart footballer. He also gets the opportunity to show clubs what he can do with a strong forward back.

  • I like this option more than Benji because Renoylds is a much better defender and I think his aggression is something we could use cause Nathan Brown is the only person in our team who shows aggression towards their opponenets. 

    However, I don't want to buy any player. We have to trust the roster we already have. We only have one injured right now being Dylan Brown. If your a club who only has one injured player and all of a sudden you don't think you have a replacement for him, how do you look? You look like a dum fuck who cause than cleary you haven't created a proper roster.

    • Yeah, I agree with you about aggression and he's defence. I thought he would be an interesting option and would be a similar scenario with Blake Green and the Knights. There are a lot of positives that would come out of it as Tigers would also get him of their books which they want, we get a good replacement five-eighth and Reynolds can try and use this oppurtunity to show what he could do with a real foward pack.

      • Yea but I think Green also has plans to be a halves coach whilst I can't see Renolyds being a coach. He also can play a bit of 9 of the bench but I like what Ray Stone has been doing. Only thing is that Renyolds can actually provide more spark and run from dummy half whilst Stone is a better defender. And personally I think BA would rather defence, and back players like Gutho and Moses to provide spark in attack which I agree with. 

        • Yeh I like ray stone tough little bugger and tackling machine similar to Mahnoey minus the crisp passing from dummy half.

      • It would be a good audition for Renyolds to find another home next year. Tigers will definely pay some of his salary, so eels should only be paying him a max 200k. Potentially we could release Stefano early to make both teams get a lot out of this. Cause also I think our top 30 squad is full. Stefano is with tigers next year and Madge openly said he is planning for next season. Are foward pack is fuly fit currently so we don't need him. Secondly tigers want Renolyds gone next year and we could use him right now. However, as I intially said, we probabaly need to back our roster

        • Yeah Reynolds is a good replacement for the price that we would pay for him. It would definitely happen if we offer Stefano as an appetizer and sweeten an already good deal.

  • Too injury prone. But hes a much better option than Benji. But I think the younger players need to get more opportunies before bringing older injury prone players

    • Yeh i agree, young players need to have a go. Fingers crossed that Field has a blinder on the weekend.

  • Next year  we need to sure up halves/hooker depth maybe he would of been a option earlier in year but we have to back Field now.

    I'm impressed with the improvement in Stones service id like to persist with him i do love his defence 

  • I like the guy, he's tough and plays with passion but tbh I think he needs to go back to the dogs. He's a true bulldog and it's a shame he's not playing there currently. 
    He hasn't had the same passion he played with at the dogs in my opinion and that's a shame for the game.
