Maybe AR's bottle is full because he doesn't know how to get the top off!!

I find him pretty one-dimensional in attack--kick across field,bomb.....kick,kick,kick.....!!!

New coach;CLEARY maybe;& his son would be tops!!
Adam is our best half in the club currently by far even if you dislike his style.

McInnes is just not up to it. He needs to be sent packing.

We can't have a player on 400k playing in reserve grade.

Also Farah can play halfback too when Adam gets injured.

Depth is important and Robbie adds important depth.

Who is saying he is on 400k??

Attitude is more important and he hasnt displayed a positive one in years

All the $400k rumours I've heard have come from within this forum. I think it's assumed we had to offer big money to get Cam to renege on the Dragons but i don't think that's true. I believe Cam signed with the Dragons not for money but because his path to first grade was blocked by Luke. I don't believe Dragons would of been paying huge money for Cam, he was still a young reserve grade hooker at the time. When Isaac Luke signed with Warriors I don't think Money would of been the big influencer on Cams decision to come back. He could either try his lot at a new club, who had a hooker in good form at the time in rein, or stay with a club he'd grown up with, who's coaches and staff he knew, who had no hooker so was his best chance to play 1st grade.

$400k is the figure that has been mentioned more than once.
Youre a man who seems to be a bit in the know, Southsport. Is 400k about what your hearing? Anyone who says he isnt on 400k is making it up as much as those who say he is. Unfortunately we don't know for sure. We would have to be paying atleast as much as the Dragons were going to.

You really dislike Reynolds

I don't like his style of half which relies almost totally on kicking at which he is obviously very,very good!!!

I think the commentator last night said 15 try assists for the season for AR & 14 of those from kicks.

That kicking stat is great but not good over a long season where luck runs out a lot of the time with that approach. Hence our position on the ladder. Every now & then the "hail Mary" approach works & we all sit up & think AR is wonderful. Kicking is a strong asset to AR's bow but overall I just think the string on the bow is a bit loose.
I think AR is,like most of our players,on a leash of some degree of constriction so he is probably not playing his fully natural game.

I just find it hard to watch; as that almost obsessive approach on kicking suggests we are inadequate in other areas.

He was MVP of the 9's last year so he's got that attacking flair in there somewhere. His constant injuries and Madge's conservative game plan have had an impact on his attackin style I reckon.

I'm not "in the know" actually but $400k has been bandied about and then people take it as gospel I suppose (including me). As far as the dragons are concerned I think they could let Mitch Rein go, sign Cam and have up to $200k spare in their cap, but that is just speculation too.

No play Cook as a 80min player and let McInnes grow as a footballer at the Bears until he is ready to return to first grade no need for Farah

If we can sign Farah for very cheap for 2017, it might be a good thing, just in case Cook or 1 of our halves gets injured.

Yeah if he is really on $400,000 and another club wants him, and we wouldn't have to pay any of the contract, then let him go.

This is true. I would still only sign him for the 2017 season and only if it's for $400,000 or less. Only the second year if it's for no more than $400,000.

In fact if McInnes is really on $400,000, then we could just swap him for Farah for the 2017 season, but we still pay for McInnes in 2017, and Wests Tigers continue to pay for Farah in 2017. So basically it would be like we are paying $400,000 for Farah, and Wests Tigers are paying $950,000 - $1,000,000 for McInnes. Lol.

Reynolds just controls the game so well with his kicking game. He might not run it as much as we would like, but Cody Walker is very good at taking on the line. I think Reynolds and Walker are a good combination in the halves.

Anyone can pull a figure out of thin air and use it as proof. 8 out of 10 people do so
#hypocrite20

Brother Rsag ITS me, i first mentioned 400 because my insider told me this figure and 90% of what he tells me ends up being verified but he can listen in on talk this talk is only as accurate as long as minds dont change and decisions made at other times and he dosent hear so its accurate up to a point. This is after all a rumours site as well, isnt it?
