Joshua Reynolds

['G']

Josh Reynolds. This is his time to shine. He divides the opinion of both fan and foe. Our season now hangs on his shoulders. Now we get to see what he's really made of. At his best he is brilliant. At his worst he makes us want to kill him. Let's see what he can do. Josh Reynolds- don't let us down!

 

[Mr Invisible]

Exactly right .. he needs to be cool, calm and collected, and this could be where he proves his worth.

As much as it sounds funny, HE needs to take leadership and move our troops around the ground.

 

[Bulldogz82]

He has so much strike around him now that he shouldn't feel the weight of expectation to do it all on his own, give early ball, take the line on ONLY when a gap opens up and a solid kicking game and that's all we want from him nothing more, the rest will take care of itself

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I believe that Graham Pritchard and Kasiano are the key to our season. Its rocks or diamonds with Kas and we just have to hope that if we make the GF we get the diamonds... because in the last 2 we have got rocks. If all our passes stick and offloads aren't forced we will be fine imo. However all that does rest on an effective kicking games so we control field position so these passes aren't forced.

I would really like to see the Reynolds, Jackson and Lafai combination fire like it did in 2014.

Someone just reminded me Kas wasn't in the GF squad last year he was injured... Think it's harsh to call him rocks or diamonds when he didn't play. 2012 he was outstanding and was one of the best props in the game (Voted the best) was easily top 2. He wasn't to blame for our loss. Just out played in the spine especially in the 7. Cronk killed us. Keating didn't put in a grubber behind at all.

He doesn't need to shine though, he just needs to play simple footy, play direct, organise the players around him and get the ball to where the spaces are.

 

[Moedogg]

He just needs to do Hodkos job. Keep it simple and ensure he gets a good kick away after a set no need to run the ball as much.

 

[Izzy Forreal]

Early in the season Josh was a lunatic, an ill disciplined penalty dispensing machine.

Then something happened. He did a 180 degree turn in attitude, became a team player and looked good.

I'm not knocking Hodko's ability as a half back, he's got plenty of it, but the fact is he has played with a dud knee all season which made him slow. Reynolds on the other hand has got blistering speed.

Personally, I think that with Mbye and Reynolds in the halves and Cook at hooker/dummy half our attack is a lot more potent than before.

 

[The DoggFather]

I'll say what I always say....he needs to learn CONTROLLED AGGRESSION!

 

[Bulldogz82]

I'm with you Izzy, I think we forgetting that Reynolds was going pretty well the month prior to his injury and he's a tough bastard, played through the game injured against sharks and during last yrs gf. We thought when lichaa went down it was all bad but in steps a weapon in cook, now we might see the same with hodkos injury. Reynolds definitely has the skill just loses his shit sometimes but won't happen this time around imo

 

[GRKDOG]

If Reynolds and Keating can guide us to a gf I'm sure Reynolds and Mbye can.

Barba.

 

[doggieaaron]

I like him at half on the right side and mbye on the left at 5/8 only thing josh has to watch is his kicks that go dead giving 7 tackles

 

[Moey]

Barba.

kasiano, bmoz, rona, mbye, klemmer, cook, lane....

We don't need to reply on any one player. Reynolds and Mbye shall be fine as long as their kicking game is on Song

 

[magdog]

Mbye has seen the light. In attack he plays direct and gets good early bal to JMoz or Tank and our left side has KILLED it.
JR just needs to do the same on the left. If he can manage that, tackle well and throw in some decent kicks, we'll scare the crap out of anyone.

 

[magdog]

...on the right!

 

[bcmf]

Every man and his dog can see josh plays best when he plays direct. Everyone apart from Josh.

 

[bcmf]

Also, Josh's long kicking game is underrated. He almost always manages to find turf. Short kicking game is mediocre but mbye seems to be good at those grubbers.
