I'll run with that. With some decent go-forward he will do the job.
This. He's on average halfback's money, so that's all we should expect of him.

They moved Inglis to fullback, Burgess to the middle, and got rid of Dave Taylor, who, along with Feleti Mateo, is the worst defensive edge forward in the NRL.
Three big changes that benefitted the team.
He had one good consistent season in attack.
Plus Sandow left and they promoted Reynolds, who is a great organiser with a terrific short kicking game. Don't leave out facts that don't support your argument.

How do you know Reynolds is a good organiser? Have you been on the field with him?
Watching him he has a good kicking game (not as good as Sandow's) and supports well (and gets plenty of opportunity in that team) but struggles to set up his supports.
He's not even close to Sandow's standard during his last two years at Souths. He's a passenger who only ever receives the ball when the defence is on the back foot.
And the biggest one of all, McGuire as coach.They moved Inglis to fullback, Burgess to the middle, and got rid of Dave Taylor, who, along with Feleti Mateo, is the worst defensive edge forward in the NRL.

Perhaps Reynolds was the exact player Souths needed to take them to the next step. Perhaps he is a better fit at Souths than Sandow was

I most probably know he's a good organiser the same way that you interpret that he has trouble setting up his supports, his actions on the field.
Never mind the comments of his coach and team mates, but what would they know.
Reynold has played half back for two seasons, allegedly one of the most important positions on the field even though I'm sure you'll tell me otherwise, for a team thats made it to a major semi and is on its way to a minor premiership.
Notice how well his team went when he went off with an injury in the major semi final?
He also won the rookie of the year award that you point to as one of Sandow major achievements.
Sandow has played in zero finals games and has now been dropped from first grade twice.
Pou once coached junior football and met Brian Smith. He's our only coaching expert on here besides Jason Taylor of course.
Colonel,
Don't you think that Hodkinson would be a better fit for Norman than Sandow?
If Sandow has flaws in his game it's because he has been forced to play for weak teams his entire career. Some time in Wenty will be good for him, just as it would have last year.
Maybe. It is unlikely he will leave the Bulldogs to come back to us.
All good saying this player and that player may be better fits. We has Sandow on the books and no Hodkinson.
We need to make him fit at the moment because he is the best we have.
He was never dropped by Souths though, and Reynolds has never had to carry Parramatta.
