After seeing that City merkinry game, I'm convinced that Reynolds is the man to go to
That performance actually surprised me because it showed a lot more strings to his bow than he has shown at Souths. It's obvious at Souths he is playing to a rigid, high percentage plan. Roll your forwards up the center, and get a repeat set. Run a set play in the 20, or find the right kick for a try. The City performance was good because he got to act as the dominant half and play a more natural game, his passing was the best I've seen from him in first grade and he looks like he plays better down the left corridor which we never see at Souths. He took some low percentage plays like the 40:20s and the chips that actually looked superb when they came off, and a few great cut out balls for line breaks (I know there are a few who say he couldn't do that). There was a bit of roughness, and he needed a better halves partner and fullback to really create opportunities. He was creating havoc with the one guaranteed NSW player there, Jennings.
That said it still seemed a bit rough around the edges, while he was doing a lot of great stuff - he couldn't seem to land kicks in open space and get repeat sets as well as he normally does. If he can get his whole game on song I don't see NSW having any half nearly as good.
Actually hope he brings some of that back to Souths. They should swap around Sutton and Reynolds cause it seems both are playing on their weaker side of the field. I wonder if he learned a bit off of Freddy, who might be a drunk but does know how to play in the halves as good as anyone.
