Rumours and Stuff

I agree. As much as he had a killer game on the weekend. He walks around like my 15 year old dog. No wonder the Bunnies only offered him 1 year.

One upside of having a broken down old merkin is that it provides opportunities for a young backup while he's out injured. Perfect for Arthur's Jr. And multiple years keep the player's price down on a per-year basis.

Moses is better player but Reynolds/Drown isn't much worse than Moses/Drown and would be better than matching stupid offers for Moses. There's is also the fact that Reynolds offers something both Moses and Drown lack (composure) while providing Dylan Brown more opportunity to attack a couple of passes wide.

It's a definite NO for Reynolds way too old. Did Parra not watch last weeks game?

Two Haze/Hayzes in one team! What has the goddamn world come to?

I know right, now when people beat off to how good they think Haze Dunster is they have to say his full name...

According to Andrew Voss.

Adam Reynolds to Eels

Moses gone

“Here’s what a little birdie has told me. Adam Reynolds, the club that he will be heading to, is Parramatta,” Voss said.

“The mail is Mitchell Moses could be out of there. Maybe there’s some shuffling around in the background around the future of Mitchell Moses.

“Not that Parramatta aren’t happy with Mitchell Moses, but he might be headed out of Parramatta and Adam Reynolds may end up an Eel.”

Voss said he wasn’t sure where Moses will head if Reynolds arrives, but he expects there to be plenty of suitors for the 26-year-old playmaker.

“That I don’t know, but there’s plenty of clubs wanting halves,” Voss explained.

“I’m just saying there will be a moving around of the chess pieces regarding halfbacks.”

Moses currently has a player option in his contract for 2022 but the Sydney Morning Herald have reported that he will only trigger the clause if he sees his future in the blue and gold long term.

There's no way, right? It seems like insanity to me... Not that Reynolds is a good player, but long term? he's got a year or two of good footy left in him surely..

 

[Joshuatheeel]

It is possible that with Moses not yet decided on his future after we offered an extension the club just made some enquires about Reynolds. Just in case Moses doesn’t re-sign / wants to much.

Reynolds kicking game does work with the game plan BA currently has the team playing (see Raiders game)

Geez I hope this isn’t true. It’s madness to let go one of the leading playmakers in their prime for an ageing one in Reynolds.

 

[Noise]

Surely this is bullshit. This would be the dumbest move our club has made since signing Sandow

 

[Sensei Cobra]

I’ll be very surprised If we don’t re-sign Moses but the Reynolds thing does possibly have some logic .....
Maybe a belief that Moses won’t take us the Promised land and Reynolds can ala roosters with Pearce / Cronk.

also Reynolds for a 2 years is better timing for Arthur’s Jnr

 

[Tooooks]

I’d say Reynolds is our plan B and the best available half if Moses decides to chase slightly more money at a shit club (which I don’t think he’ll do).

The best thing about Moses is his kicking game, including goal kicking. Reynolds is one of the few players who kicks better than Moses. He lacks the running game of Moses but adds composure. The only risk is injury.

Don’t talk in non-extremes sense! You must be either a hugger or a rider and there can be no middle ground!

That's where Gary went wrong at Bone on Bones. Ask @TheRam
He thought he was both a hugger and a rider. How do you think he ended up with a munted head?

I don’t care.

 

[Pazza]

If O'Neill hasn't enquired with Reynolds manager, gauging the market for a big time halfback. Then he isn't doing his job.

 

[Incorrect]

Reynolds' kicking may be on par or slightly better than Moses', but IMO would not complement Dylbags' game the way Moses does. And the little I've seen of Bushy Jnr, he also wouldn't complement Dylbags' game either. I think we need a half like Dylbags/Reynolds/Bushy Jnr (eventually) but not 2 of them at the same time in 6 and 7. Moses has that ability to break the line like a Wighton or Munster (admittedly not as consistently in Moses' case). Reynolds, Dylbags don't and I think you need that if your other half is a stock 6/7

 

[Gazzamatta]

Moses would be our only player with speed off the mark. Losing him would reduce our threat a great deal.

 

[Twizzle]

I'd rather Moses over Reynolds but it may not be our call. If the Bunnies want to make room under their sombrero that is above his market value, we wont get into a bidding war.

BA jnr is about 2 years off NRL, assuming he makes the grade and at this stage that is an assumption, so we need about a 2 year option so if Reynolds is getting on he may be able to do a job but doesn't say GF winning combination halves to me, neither does signing a back up half.

Reynolds is not wanted at the Bunnies for a reason.

Come on mate.

Moses has one good game a month and suddenly we will lose something. I have no issue if he stays at whatever his contract states but if he wants to negotiate anymore he can get f**ked.

I’d take Reynolds in a heartbeat for 2 years with Jake Arthur as his understudy. Moses knows that Jake will take his spot one day and is also exploring his options.

 

[T-Boon]

I'd rather pay a bit over for Moses than have Reynolds at a good price.

 

[T-Boon]

Speculating on Jake Arthur is pure lunacy. There is about a 5% chance he is even a good first grade halfback.
