Matt Rieck?

It's disgraceful if we don't re-sign Rieck, because he is our quickest and can hold is own in defence unlike the incompetent Merritt who should be released if we need to get rid of someone. Plus, Rieck has formed a potent combination with Vagana.

I agree Tama, I think is going to be one of those late flourishers

WWWAAAAAKKKKKK

sometimes I wonder what game you're watching

potent combination? When did they form that seeing as though they have only played on the same side of the field once and Mr Vagana didn't pass him the ball

and defence - he's satisfactory - nothing more and often worse than that.

Beat me to it.

I think you'll find it's more a case of we don't view either of them as an option and so will not renew their contracts as they expire.
Reick's contract just happens to expire before Merritts.

Give it 12 months and it'll be adios muchacho to Merritt as well

Someone better like who?

Eric Grothe or Timana Tahu would work. Short of that, I'm not sure who's out there. We don't need both Covell and El Masri.

Rieck has developed extremely well. It would be a big loss to not have him next year especially when considering he wishes to stay. Not good :evil:

how? ...he fumbles his way through games, constantly has tries scored on him ...defending kicks he is terrible, his hands are ordinary and has trouble not tripping over his own feet ....i admit every few months he can pull off a blinder. But for every good game he has five bad ones.

without his speed he has nothing. I think eventually merritt will be a better player than rieck ever was or will be.

just my opinion.

His hands have improved, his defence has improved, his foot work has improved. The only problem he has is defending against high kicks when he has to go up against someone like Minichiello.

Look at the Dogs game this year. Rieck neutralised every threat on his flank. Same with the Knights game - all their tries were scored on the side with the hopeless dropkick Merritt tackling his invisible friends all day.

I like Reick. I know he has bombed more tries then he's scored, but I feel that we have more attacking options when he is on the field. We certainly have more speed.


I hope we keep him. It'd piss me off to see him go to Manly.

Without speed most wingers are nothing ..

well i heard last night that he is hopeful the club will give him a contract. even though he knows it's going to be small. we're talking basically match payments.

Reick has been at the club for three years and hasn't shown much, apart from being clumsy in attack.

Manly chased him last year and failed. He wants to stay for less! The club won't show him the door.
