Reddy for 2016 Petition

[Swiftstylez]

Former seven season Parramatta Eels legend Joel Reddy is only signed until the end of this year with the Rabbitohs. He is a good defencive back with a high work rate and finishes off tries with the safest hands in the league which is why he has earned a permanent starting position with the Rabbitohs. He protects leads unlike someone of the leaky cauldrons we have had over the last few years. I think he is a good option if Robinson turns out to be more rocks than diamonds or if Champion only plays half of this season (Edit: is out for the season). Wouldn't it be good if we could have slot him in with Champion and Semi looking to be out this week (Round 3)?

Even if he was a depth player he can play the following: Winger, Centre, 5/8, Fullback, 2nd Row or come off the bench to cover nine positions in the team. His experience would be valuable to our younger players.

Reddy was made to be blue and gold.

Feel free to print out my signature and stick it on the back of your car, thanks. Lets get this trending on twitter. Once I have enough signatures/discussion I will forward it to the Eels HQ so please get on board.

The 2015 Reddy Report

Round One: Solid, opposition never looked like scoring on his side. Scored a try to boot and made some smart positioning plays.

Round Two: Missed a bomb in the first half but scored the winning try by getting down low and bumping off his winger. A few nice runs and offloads and a nice take against a much taller Tupou after his initial error.

Round Three: No tries scored on the Rabbitohs wings, wouldn't that be nice?

Reddy Fact #1: A team with Reddy in it has never won a wooden spoon
Reddy Fact #2: He was part of the Rabbitohs squad that won the 2014 NRL Premiership
Reddy Fact #3: He is playing the best he ever has in his career and thus has been rewarded with a permanent starting spot at the Rabbitohs in 2015
Reddy Fact #4: Reddy is off to a flying start in 2015. Including the World Club Challenge, Reddy has scored at least one try in all three games and scored twice against St Helen's. (As of Round 2)
Reddy Fact #5: Reddy has an excellent strikerate. Round 2 in 2015 marked ten appearances for the Rabbitohs for Joel Reddy and 11 if you count the World Club Challenge. In those 11 games he has scored 11 tries. I cannot find another player with at least ten games played that has a one try a game average for the club they currently play for. For example, a prolific try scorer like Rhys Wesser played 41 games for the Rabbitohs and only scored 16 tries.

Excerpt from 2011:

The Daily Telegraph can reveal three rival NRL clubs and one English Super League team have swooped on Joel Reddy, one of the club's more consistent players.

"Joel's loyal to Parramatta and he loves the players out there. He would like to stay but at this stage we haven't got an offer in writing," Gillis said. "At the same time there is plenty of interest in his talents and other clubs are keen to recruit him.


"He's only recently married and his wife is expecting their first child so you can understand he has to think about his family and his future."

He should come back and run our recruitment.

So you would like Reddy to come back in any capacity? If so feel free to sign.

A has been that has earned his position in the starting line up for the NRL premiers? A has been that was part of a premiership winning team last year? A player that won the world cup with the Rabbitohs this year? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSMtcU5Xjuw

If that makes you a has been then you must be a never was.

What a judge of talent. Our juniors????? The ones that will go to other clubs when they get good or the ones that won us a grand final since the year that Reddy left??? Oh wait we haven't made the finals since Reddy left, is that 6 years in a row?

so go blow him, you seem to be the only interrested in him

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Having cheap players like Joel Reddy has allowed the Bunnies to spend more on their key players. I wish we had some players as cheap as Joel Reddy (only better).

You don't think Robinson is cheap?
How about Champion?
I can't see those guys being on more than Reddy.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Robinson and Champion were signed to play in the top 17. Reddy was signed as a backup.

Well it seems like im going to have to educate a few of you. I will be back with my round two assessment of Reddy. I think a lot of users can attest to my eye for talent and I am always on the mark.

Round one : Solid, opposition never looked like scoring on his side. Scored a try to boot and made some smart positioning plays.

 

[Parra47]

I'd be happy to have Readdy back, has plenty or experience, does not make may mistakes, is solid in defence and can play 1, 2, 3 or 6. So very good utility value. You need a player like that in your club. And he would not be expensive. But all that dose not really help us this year.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I don't recall him ever playing 6?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He wore the 6 jersey twice in 2009, though he played centre on one of those occasions.

 

[hineyrulz]

Bring back Daniel Wagon!!!!

 

[T.S Quint]

He wore the 6 jersey twice in 2009, though he played centre on one of those occasions.

I think he may have also worn the 6 in Reserve Grade a few times.
Having said that, I still wouldn't put him there in FG.

 

[Parra47]

Yeah he played a bit of 6 in the lower grades and I think he won a reserve grade grand final with us at 6. Not saying he'd play 6 in first grade, but being able to play that position shows he has some ball skills that he can use playing wing or centre. Again it does not help us this season. And we are starting to look thin.
