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."
