Kirk Reynoldson....want him?

[Bazal]

Newcastle should honour their contract.

Its a disgrace really. Reynoldson should not be treated that way.

FFS they are not picking a bloke who is, at best, sh*thouse...what is wrong with that? They may have some injuries but I'd pick every single backrower in their 17 this week over Kirk any day

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I reckon that if they want to back out of their contract they should be man enough to come straight out and tell Reynoldson. Stop stuffing him around.

ps I reckon he's a good player, and is definitely better than some of their pretenders.

They have offered him two contracts, which he has rejected, that better compared in value to what he has to offer the Knights as a leader in PL. He and his management need to pull their heads out of their clackers and realise that he is not good enough to play first grade, and simply take what they can get. These threats of legal action are pathetic and tbh the NRL should bar him from acting through the courts, he looks like a little kid who's been told he can't have a lolly

Point taken Bazal. I was only joking when I said he should be named in the team. How could any of them be dropped, they are going too good.

To me it seems like a sneaky way to weasel out of a contract.

they are honouring their contract with him by paying him for this year. he has an incentive placed in it that could force the club to sign him for next year. the club has told him he is not in their plans for next year and his form is not good enough, therefore they will not play him (though they continue to pay him).

how are they not honouring the contract??

 

[Stagger eel]

there are rumours circulating that the Knights are right up to their cap limit for next year and Reyno's contract would tip them over by 200K...if that's the case you could see why they wanty to piss him off.

I'd be tempted to sign him cheaply actually because you'd guarentee he's give you 100% just to shove it up the knights.

You're entitled to your opinion dude...it just gets to me that all of a sudden Reynoldson is seen to be worthy of selection when he's only been a fill in all year. It's all because of the media beat up over this stupid clause in his deal, the fact that he's been dropped because guys like Patterson, Abraham etc are getting back from injury seems to have escaped everyones notice...I feel for the guy, from all reports he's a nice guy, but if you're not playing as well as you need to be playing, you don't have the right to complain when you don't get picked.

But he's no good. He isn't even good enough to be named in the Knights side on form.

he's not even good enough to play Premier League ;-)

 

[Eelectrica]

People like who??......
Who are you responding to?

I think he was responding the voices in his head.

 

[Hellsy]

Fair call :LOL: :LOL:

 

[stuke]

would you select a guy who is threatening/starting legal action against the club??

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I've got no time for those losers anyway. I hope they get flogged again.

 

[parra pete]

It would not make sense to pay Reynoldson the equivalent of $196,800 to make one appearance when he has been told he is not part of their plans for 2008.
The Telegraph and Hadley and Co have a vendetta against Brian Smith. Their push for Reynoldson to be selected is part of that vendetta.
Does anyone REALLY think they (Tele and Hadley) care whether he is picked or not. The team is kaput this season, why waste another $196,800????
They should quit on the crucifixion of Brian Smith...we need the wood for the fire....

 

[Bigfella]

Can you imagine what they'd be saying if Smith signed Reynoldson for $200,000 k a season?

The player signed a contract for next season which is contingent upon certain conditions. Those conditions have not been met, obviously because the club does not want to meet the future obligations (and I think everyone understands why).

This should be a lessent to players and managers - if you want contractual certainty, don't sign a contingent contract.

The guy has been on an unbelievably good wicket and is using public sympathy to pressur ehis selection and trigger the contract ofr next year - because he knows he won;t be getting anywhere near that money in the NRL in future, and he shouldn't have been getting what he has been on.

It's also a warning to clubs not to pay overs for melbourne players. They have an awesome structure which allows all players to play to the very best of their ability. Reynoldson and Orford are two players who come to mind who were world beaters at Melbourne and so-so after going elsewhere.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Brian Smith bashing is a sport...

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I love Brian Smith bashing.

His last two years have been diabolical.

Yes but when i stat that since 2001 he's really only had one good year i get accused of Smith bashing when the reality is his coaching hasn't adjusted to the rules in 2002 lol
