Adam Reynolds set to join Sharks on monster $2.4m deal: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...n/news-story/3b2e64d395ebe01cd6fc26ac91797e41

Yep, he's gone. Very, very sad. Don't know how you can possibly say "he's going nowhere" now. I get people have sources but they're not always right. Literally everything is pointing to Reyno leaving. It'd be one hell of a twist if he stayed. I'm still holding out some small hope.

Had a feeling articles like this about Gags would start popping up. Have my fingers and toes crossed we can keep him too!

Solly said Reyno won’t get 3 years elsewhere no way. Dad and I said yes he will and my Dad will email him and tell him see look what’s happened. Solly said just won’t happen well it is like Dad and I predicted.

We won’t be in the top 4 without him no way!

I am absolutely shattered.

After the disrespect Solly showed Reyno in the chat I had on the phone with him I’m happy Adam can get a long term deal stay in Sydney and go to a club who will truly value him as we’ve treated him awfully from mine and my Dads perspective.

How has it come to this, losing Reyno?

Ahhh...
A combination of things:
1. A reduction of 500K per year this year and next in the salary cap due to COVID
https://www.nrl.com/news/2021/01/19/players-agree-to-6-per-cent-cut-in-new-pay-deal/
2. Souths have the most number of players of any club in the NRL already under contract for 2023
https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/th...m-to-spend-on-16-players-20210404-p57gcf.html
3. Souths FO may have already been planning for Adam to leave from last season, in preference to keeping Cody Walker. But Cody's future with Souths is not assured, this we will find out next season.
4. Souths have agreed to extensions on guys IMO are questionable on wether they should have, e.g. Knight, Tatola (I'm ok with 2 years but 3 years is questionable), Cartwright, Sele

Weve lost the plot,i cant believe demitriou has agreed to this, losing 2 of our dangerous backline and perhaps a major forward, it will be like a rebuilding phase
The club is making a HUGE mistake. I can definitely see some time in the future they will come to realise this but it will be much too late.
I hope not but this could get as ugly as the bust up of the great Souths team at the end of 1989. We didn't recover until 2007, although the recovery was hampered and delayed because they kicked us out after 1999.

The other worry is if Demetriou going to be able to attract new free agents. Look at the trouble Madge is having getting free agents. There's a new landscape forming with Barrett, Fitzgibbon, Peyton, Benny with the new franchise. Do new young and up-and-comers even know who Demetriou even is?

If our young halves can fire when they take over, we could navigate the rough waters and come out well. If not, we are heading for a major shipwreck

We are offering Cody one year as well or at best a second year but with a club option.

Solly is confident Cody will stay on a deal like that!

It’s also likely we will only keep one of Gags or Su’a.

I just had my Uncle’s funeral earlier today I’m on a big big low and this Reyno news has made me feel even worse!
