Benj had similar if not worse shoulder concerns and came good with no repeat issues with the right post rehab strength conditioning . ..granted he was younger but Reynolds is no quiter ...in any sense. I actually believe his best football is ahead of him...( winning) SOO form included.

Drinkwater brothers playing well

We could do worse than hand them Farah and Marshall's Top 30 spots in 2019?

Josh Drinkwater was much better then Gamble early in the year. He looked a level above nsw cup. He’s only 26 and could be another Blake Green, highly rated junior who didn’t adapt to first grade early on so learnt his trade in the ESL then came back a much better player.

He would be a good backup half to have.

Yeah I wouldn't be against him coming back for a top 30 spot. God knows we've had a host of halves this year and are still struggling to put a pair on the paddock together.

Geez I hope we are chasing Oates’s signature coz he’s exactly the kind of player we need to recruit in order to become a competitive outfit capable of playing September footy.

corey oates would be a great pick up esp for our backrow
oates plus 1 quick outside back and our squad looks a whole lot better

If he performs in the backrow. I see him as being a risky signing in some ways. Will he cut it as an edge backrower ?

If we are going to pay overs it has to come off. We have Reynolds, Packer and Matulino all probably on overs. Then we have guys like ET who may have to go.

Let's be honest we are rebuilding again and we to use our money wisely.

The only way you’ll ever get a Broncos player (who’s any good) is to pay them about $400k above what they’re actually worth, ala Ben Hunt

Well said Vic...lol
the more players Panthers sign now the better.Gives us a better chance to grab Nathan C....
If he were my son I’d advise him to steer clear of the rabble at concord albeit I do so hope he signs with us.However we have buckleys of competing with uncle Nicks financial wherewithal.Realistically can’t c him playing for anyone but Penrith or the bondi effluent.
