He wont be backup he will be in rotation with Mahoney
If thats the case, my point still stands as Flanagan was 14 for last few games. I'd rather Turpin back up 14. If we have Salmon, Hutchinson and Taafe we have a few cover options in the halves...

Ok…. So let’s get this straight….
If the signing is correct, we have depth at 9:-

Mahoney (Captain & Starting)
Turpin (Back up if signing is confirmed)
Mann (Last resort back up if signing confirmed)
Lol, wouldn’t be surprised if he surpasses little fatty for the 9 :tearsofjoy:

yes yes, I’m no Reed fan. And never will be.

Instead of buying utilities to cover Mahoney, we need to buy big boppers that can help Mahoney play 80. Reeds getting hammered out there because of our fairy forward pack.
Plus we need real spine players, not centres pretending to be a half.

He overplays his hand and constantly fucks up.

Most likely the nsw cup 9, he's fighting with Salmon, Mann and Hutchinson for 2 bench spots imo.

There was a reason why the Broncos got rid of him.

Try & avoid the Broncos rejects.

Oh wait, I love the meltdowns. :tearsofjoy::p

No he won’t. Mahoney is an 80 min player like it or not
Depends on how we want to play. Though CC would need to use the rotation better to get the best out of Reed. Given this offseason is about getting much fitter to compete, he might want to ensure he have depth and give players spells throughout the season to ensure they are right to get through the whole season. Also bringing guys who have some experience in, which gives any rookies coming through someone to beat out, ala Preston this season set a good bar to getting into the team.

We need a back up specialist 9. Bloke can make 50 tackles and is a tough little competitor. It is a bit concerning that he wasn’t renewed at the broncos and now Robinson is letting him go.

That's just the salary cap. He costs that bit too much for better sides to have. While a side like us can afford him at the moment. He knows his role in the side which is bench player.
