To all the Reynolds haters

[c-b-b]

There's a fine line between what Reynolds does being absolute rubbish and coming off.

Tonight it worked, problem is it needs to happen each and every week not now and then.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

He had 2 disallowed poor burger

2 disallowed, 1 held up, 1 knock-on and 1 scored. 5 Tries he could have scored tonight if things fell in his favour.

ONE WORD GUTSY, EVEN WHEN UNDER PRESSURE WE ARE STILL THE ENTERTAINERS, FAR MORE ENTERTAINING THAN ANY OTHER SYDNEY TEAM,ST GEORGE VS SOUTH SYDNEY BORING

 

[Hacky McAxe]

He's off contract. Yes he played well tonight but he's not the best 5/8 we could get

You could be right but I ask who is better?

Mbye has shown some quality at 5/8 but he isn't consistent quality even at 5/8. Decent pass near the line. Good dummy and run. Good pace. But even at 5/8 he only did one thing good each game. Reynolds at 5/8 is unpredictable and dangerous. When he has a good halfback around him then he's deadly. When he doesn't then he's pretty crap. Only real downside I have with Reynolds is that he has no emotional control.

 

[dhoo8450]

Still missing the point, that style only works one out of 5 games. The other four games he is atrocious, need a proper 5/8

Nah, need a proper halfback. Reynolds style works more often than not with a halfback who steers the ship around and has a good kicking game.

I doubt highly that he's going to get the $800k asking price from us or any contract if Hasler is kept. Wouldn't surprise me to see Mbye in 6 and Frawley in 7 next year.

Yet its hardly his fault. Sometimes players don't have the athleticism but they do have the effort.

Gus said tonight during the call that 90% of the game is just continuing to turn up. Thats Josh. Good things will happen with persistence.

Put Reynolds in

100% dhoo. That's all he needs and we saw it tonight with Frawley who has to stay in the team.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

We need another kicker in the side, it's still not right that Frawley had to shoulder 90% of the kicking. We need a better balance, what if Frawley has an off game? Then we have zero game management.

Mbye has to be in the team, he is more well rounded player.

I'd go with

1. Abbey
6. Mbye
7. Frawley
9. Lichaa

OR

1. Abbey
6. Reynolds
7. Frawley
9. Mbye

14. Lichaa

Maybe. But he brings the same energy for all 5 games. And gives himself a chance in all 5 games. That was also lichaa best game as a bulldog.

To be fair, Mbye hasn't had an extended run at 5/8. Looked great when Reynolds was suspended a few years ago with Hodko.

Mitchell Moses probably the pick out of the 3 though

 

[Chris Harding]

It does show the difference a good halfback makes. I'd love to see us keep Frawley with Reynolds, and fit Mbye into another position where his speed and stepping can be used to greater advantage. Frawley will take the pressure off Reynolds and Mbye, and allow them the leeway they need.

I know what you're saying but there's also times when he tries to do things a million miles an hour and it results in an error (which happens often). That's the fine line, it's in his hands if he can fix that.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Tolman in his 200th 150m and 44 tackles

 

[Indiandog]

we need josh , not for 800ks.

 

[Indiandog]

top game !

 

[Realist90]

I know burger is a typo for bugger coz you're an Arab butttttt burger is actually funnier lol

 

[Realist90]

So essentially all we've needed is an actual fkn halfback all this time? Too early to say though we'll have to keep the consitancy throughout the season and win the premiership for me to wanna keep Hasler Reynolds and co. However either way raelene needs to fuk off

I like Mitchell Moses too. The only thing I have against Mitchell Moses is that he's predictable.

That's what I like so much about Reynolds. His unpredictability. It's very handy. It reminds me of a discussion they had about Lockyer when he retired. They said that he's good but his best quality was that you didn't know what he was going to do. When he hit the line he could chip, or grubber, or pass, or dummy as run, and there was no way to read it. Reynolds is the same way.

 

[Scrubdog]

I want him to stay
I don't want to lose him to the sharks

I want a halfback in the team
Let Reynolds do his thing

I love having him in the team, if we could find the balance and keep winning.

Just find a way to keep winning them Josh so we can enjoy it for years to come
