Reynolds plays one game at the minimum standard required for FG for a 5/8 and he is now the messiah. 1 game in like 2-21/2 years. Ever think that the reason Reynolds goes "looking for the ball" more than Mbye is because Reynolds was gifted the better position over Mbye and get's to choose these things. Both are 5/8's not a HB, I think this point we all agree on. Mbye has been forced to be the "organiser" even though that is not his natural game right now. Reynold's is older, more experienced and a SOO player yet still cannot do this. Reynolds wants 800k per season. The way Reynolds played last night is the minimum he is required to play every single game for that amount of money or even to hold a halves position in FG. My hat off to JR, he played great last night and I love his passion.
Had JR been able to run a proper line last night we score 2-3 more tries, the amount of gaps there was on the inside and for straight running was massive. There was like 3-4 opportunities alone for that Slater type play just for Abbey alone. You mix Frawley with the speed and proper line running of Mbye than I guarantee some attacking footy we have long since forgotten in this team. Reynolds in this team is best as a utility player replacing Liccha with 15 minutes to go at the end of each half or to ignite some unorthodox play in chasing points. Come on with some up tempo and passion to ensure we keep the intensity up high in the danger times at the end of the halves. A half should not run crazy across field like he does as it destroys any space for our backs, this has been a massive fault for years. Early round in glimpses showed what blokes like Lee can do given early ball with open ground to challenge his opposite number, this cannot happen if old mate runs across and wastes the field.
