Adam Reynolds: Best Goal Kicker of all Time

[BunniesMan]

Reynolds already has 3 or 4 game tying or game winning difficult goal/penalty kicks. He is Mr Clutch.

He's more likely to save your life than any other kicker in the history of rugby league.

 

[Pete Cash]

Reynolds is going to break the record for point scoring streak from a debut. His right boot is a gun.

His running game is starting to come along. He was dangerous in the city country, he even set up a try assist WITHOUT kicking.

He's going to easily smash the overall career point scoring record.

Reynolds and Jarrod Croker are the same age and Jarrod Croker has scored 264 more points.

 

[Ulysseus]

If you had to pick a guy to kick a sideline goal to save your life...

All time... You have to go Darryl Halligan.

Agreed.
When it was on the line he was the man.

"Greatest" of all time after only 2 and a bit years at the top level?! Pffft. If he is still at that level in 8 years then maybe. Otherwise I take it with a grain of salt because of the merkin of an author of the article.

bingo

 

[Swarzey]

Ah, I've missed the glorification of South Sydney from the papers.

Greatest of all time after two and a half years, f**king lol. Reynolds doesn't even cling to the level of Halligan and El Masri. Next we're going to be told how he's going to be South Sydney's greatest halfback and deliver them "their much deserved premiership".

Such an overrated merkin.

 

[Jason Maher]

He must have plenty of time to practice since he obviously doesn't train his running or passing game.

f**k me you're obsessed. :lol:

Reynolds and Jarrod Croker are the same age and Jarrod Croker has scored 264 more points.

Irrelevant. Croker debuted earlier, and didn't have to overcome the same injury obstacles to get a start in the first place.

 

[Pete Cash]

It is relevant when it comes to Reynolds scoring more points when there is a player his same age who has scored more points.

 

[Jason Maher]

Oh sorry, didn't note who you were replying to. :lol:

Numbers don't lie. He is clearly a significantly better kicker than anyone else including Halligan and El Masri.

Eye gouge. Suspend Sam Burgess

 

[DC_fan]

All kickers will be over 85% in the future. It really isn't hard

I tend to agree with you. It looks like kicking goals, even from the sideline has become too easy.

Maybe. They could close the goals in more to increase the difficulty

:lol: After two and a half years it's fair to call him the GOAT?

Such a delusional merkin.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Jarryd Hayne would be 90% + easy

Hayne > Reynolds

 

[Guzzler]

Lets compare when Reynolds has made over 1,000 attemps and played over 200 games.

 

[ram raid]

OK Ok. It was just food for thought. Obviously it's too early to call Reynolds the greatest of all time. Let's just enjoy him for the man he is at the moment.

 

[Jono078]

Would love to know the highest percentages since 2011. I suspect Gidley would be up close to the 90% area too.

 

[Charlie124]

Hazem El Masri just threw up in his mouth.
