Sounds legit.

 

[Pazza]

honestly i'd be a little more ecstatic if we signed Rein!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Pou there's a massive problem with average at hooker half or fullback.

Tell that to the 2010 Dragons.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Tell that to the 2010 Dragons.

Who'd they have?

He's so good it would stifle Pritchard's development. You can't have them both playing long minutes at dummy half. At least with a cheaper hooker like Keating you don't have to worry about leaving him on the bench for 40 minutes.

Plus we would definitely have to let go of one of Rein or Pritchard at the end of 2015. If Rein wants more than a 2 year contract then it would have to be Pritchard who leaves.

Unless he turns out shit and is willing to re-sign for cheap. As if that will happen.

Boyd
Soward
Hornby
Young/Fien

Surprisingly all rep players, though apart from Boyd all shit rep players - fringies at best. Soward only played Origin because the Dragons were so good.

Hookers Young/fein both better than keating, didn't fein play for nz?
Halves - soward and hornby (both played origin)
Fullback - Boyd , origin/australian rep and Clive Churchill medal winger (personally I thought young should have got it)

They had a pretty good spine in 2010

They had the worst premiership spine in the history of the NRL.

Their hookers combined might have been better than Keating (Young a better defender and Fien better in attack) but their whole spine is not a f**king patch on:

Hayne
Norman
Sandow
Keating/Pritchard

 

[Maroubra Eel]

That list is in order of best to worst.

Potentially it is a better spine but besides hayne those other 4 have achieved sweet f**k all in first grade

There's no guarantees that Pritchard will be any good!

One thing we know for certain is that MK has had plenty of opportunity to show his worth in first grade and imo hasn't shown a lot.

Good point re: Pritchard. Rein is already good. Cannot believe we aren't going for him.

We aren't after short term success. Think long term.

10YearPlan

 

[Avenger]

Rein is a quality hooker. f**k we are stupid.

 

[Y2Eel]

Plenty did the same when your grandson was offered an extension to his contract.

Rein is a quality hooker. f**k we are stupid.

Not for the amount he wants

10YearPlan

Do we have brains big enough in our club to contain 10 years?
Can't think of anyone just yet.

Most important position on the field. No coincidence that when we had a good one in 09 we nearly won the comp.

Rein, Hunt even Morris, Kingston and Friend in their veteran years! anyone but MK, there is little coincidence that we have been terrible from 08 - till present excluding half of 09! Its not all MK's fault but he is someone that definitely needs to be moved on.

Oh please, Kingo usually came on when our pack was dominating and we were usually already ahead.
