It's hard but I'm thinking Cleary may play Reynolds in the 9.
LoLo is given the chance to see out the season in 6 to see what he's got playmaking wise
Only way I can see LoLo fitting in the 17 now because Watson is definitely a better fullback option
1. Watson
6. Lolohea
7. Brooks
9. Reynolds
Why resign Mcllwrick (just now) if you want Reynolds as hooker with Liddle as back up then, it doesn't make sense.
For me, the logic suggests:
1.Watson 6. Reynolds 7. Brooks 9. McIlwrick
With Reynolds to keep an eye on Brooks, the halves are our weakest area.
Totally agree that no one's position should b safe as this is an important pre-requisite for the success we r crying out for & which is long overdue @ this club.I wanna see how Lolahea goes at fullback before I make my judgement on him. I'm so glad we have options when there are injuries. No one's spots are safe. Brooks, Suli even noufaluma these 3 seem to be in everyones team next year but I think they need to pick up form. I hope they get flogged in the off season really need a fitter side as well as skill.
I can't even think how team will line up. So many combos
1.Watson 6. Reynolds 7. Brooks 9. Mckillrick
1. Lolahea 6 . Reynolds 7 . Gamble 9. Liddle
1. Lolahea 6 . Reynolds 7. Watson 9. Mckillrick
So many options for spine and outside backs.
And Watson looks like he could be a genuine superstar. 600k may well end up an absolute steal.
mate, the young bloke has potential but superstar - behave.
I'll settle for potential to be a superstar.
But at what price - $650k, not for me.
Where is that figure coming from though? The figure reported yesterday was $500k.

Anyone thinking that we are being a bit short-term with this?
Perhaps Watson has been promised to cover Reynolds when he's contract is up?
How long did Reynolds sign with us? 3 yrs or 4?

There seem to have been a lot of promises made lately to players. Tui was promised fullback and now it seems Watson has also been promised fullback....if he really has signed with us. Someone will obviously miss out.
If I was Brooks I'd actually be a bit worried. Watson if he does come to the Tigers could be 5/8 (his preferred position) with Tui at fullback and Reynolds playing half.
