I think the reality is... Rein will be under the microscope for next year with the inclusion of Havili. That's not to say he won't continue to improve or I'm into the Rein bashing as many others are. The kid has ticker but will need to move to the next level if he wants a contract for 2017. Personally, I hope he does.

Really he only needs to improve his ball playing and decision making to become a top tier hooker. You hope these things continue to improve with experience, however his service against the Titans was garbage and gives reason to be skeptical.

Defensively he would be one of the best 9's in the comp, and his running game is good too.

He is a good player but how many dummy half passes arrive behind, in front of, on the bounce, at a half volley and everywhere but into the breadbasket of the receiving player? Added to that, he can't play 80min. Dragons need to sign Robbie Farah up!

Biggest issue is passing from dummy half. The concern is that if he hasn't learnt that by now, when will he?

He fixes that, he will put himself in the top tier of hookers.

The only thing holding Rein back is the poor quality coaching to help develop his allround game. Supposedly Ian Milward is the skills coach....WTF is he doing or not doing? You would also think Dean Young maybe able to help pass on some dummy half tips. It always seems to come back to the coaching structure at the club and poor decision making by management.

Correct.

Both Isaac Luke and Jake Friend had the skills in their early years much like Rein. It's only in the last year or 2 they have become elite players, as they had great coaches that unleashed their talent.

We don't have those coaches. In fact I can't think of anyone post Bennett that has flourished at the Dragons.

Don't forget about Robbie Farah. A 80min hooker, a tackling machine, playmaker, kicker and excellent runner out of dummy half in fast games with a rival club willing to pay most of his salary is almost too good to be true.

Forget about that habib Farah, he is going to Newcastle to play for Brown, who according to some posters on zero tackle, now looks like a ball sack.

Firstly he isn't a Muslim. He is Lebanese and a large % of the population is Christian. If he were Muslim it wouldn't make a shred of difference. Maybe there could be a benefit in it for the Dragons. In his last game he could strap on a suicide vest and take out the enemy forward pack:sarcasm:.

Secondly, he has been very open about not wanting to move out of Sydney.

"Habib" is Arabic, not Islamic. The official language of Lebanon is Arabic.

Hmmmm well sue me if I'm an unsuccessful comedian:eek:. FFS, do you think I really want some Islamic fundamentalist to strap on a suicide vest and blow up any opposing forward pack?

You tell me homie. Is this forum being invaded by a bunch of new-age, politically correct, latent homosexuals?

Obviously, because the only people who see the labeling Muslims as terrorists as being racist are homosexuals :roll:

And to think you claim other people arent funny!
