NRL LURKER - MITCH REIN

Posted by luk3_182 on September 2, 2016 at 10:33am

Parramatta are considering signing out-of-favour Dragons hooker Mitch Rein for 2017.

Rein and Benji Marshall were both made the scapegoats for the Dragons’ poor season this year and won’t be retained for next season.

Rein has had offers from England but wants to stay in the NRL and may be a good fit at Parramatta.

The Eels have struggled in the hooking position since letting talented dummyhalf Nathan Peats go mid-season at the height of the club’s salary cap scandal.

Isaac De Gois has done a fair job since Peats left but is not a starting hooker for a club hoping to make the finals.

Rein has been inconsistent in the last couple of seasons at the Dragons - but part of that can be attrbuted to the team’s glaring struggles in attack.

A shift to a club like Parramatta, with a strong and hard-running pack - could bring out the best in Rein next season.

    Looks like we are looking to sign everyone

    We are not looking at Rein. Typical lurker rubbish

      I agree I don't mind Rein. I think playing for the Dragons has a real negative effect on ones career.

      Would be a great pick up.. At a good price.
      His value would of dropped considerably this season

      I think it is likely that the Dragons' environment, for whatever reason, has impacted on Rein and his seeming desire to play to the best of his ability. However, I disagree re your opinion Brett, that the Dragons Pack is crap. Frizell; Ah Mau; Cooper; De Belin; Sims... They may be underperforming but on paper... You sort of think that something else is going on behind the scenes...

      The sky's the limit Adam - we can hang shit on any club.

    Is there some way to put a filter on the website where by if the term 'Lurker' is mentioned then it goes straight to the Trash blogs section?

    Has this 'Lurker' dope ever gotten anything right?

    DeGois >>>>>>>>> Rein

    Rein would be a great pick up, IDG as back up and Rein starting hooker, just as long there's no more bloody Manly players or we'll end up being called West Manly Eels
