Judging by what's being said on 360, I think he's gotten a taste of Seibold and wants out.

Dolphins as well I reckon. He would be a great teacher for Katoa and I think they have a good squad but they're lacking in the halves.

Not a great sign tho, is it? Negotiations playing out on live TV. To drag it into the public sphere like that, their talks were not in a good place. This is basically DCE's corner grabbing a megaphone with a big "can we get serious now?"

With DCE potentially moving on to keep his career going... wondering what the general thoughts around here are if Reynolds wants to go around again?
I would absolutely want to extend him another year and would hate to see him head to another club, but the big question is whether we have the cap space to keep him.
Even though we have Bhunt on the books for next year I do think there is a massive drop off between him and Reynolds.
My thought has also always been about keeping Reynolds on as a halves coach after he retires. The wording from Bhunt after he signed and did the interview maybe with Dobbo?? sounded like he's being lined up as the halves coach.
To me Bhunt is more of a heads up running half, which is dependent on natural talent rather than teaching/coaching... whereas Reynolds is an elite game managing half with one of the best kicking games seen over the course of his career... all things that are very teachable and basically missing from all young halves coming through.
I'd hate to see him move to a different club and we potentially lose that opportunity to keep him around for a long long post playing career.

I can’t see Reynolds going to another club, especially if he has to move his family again.
Will either sign on another year at a 400-500k ish deal with loaded up 3rd party deals or will join coaching/football staff in some way or another.

I hope so, but his tone seems to be different ever since Kevvie got sacked and moron Gordie has been on his back blaming him for everything.

Yea, when he said that he and his family were so happy in Brisbane .. think he really meant it. I don’t think he’s going anywhere at all.

Madge has already sung his praises in pressers so assume Kevvie going won’t negatively impact Reynolds with a good history with Madge. Maybe if we had a Seibs or Ryles different perspective for Reynolds.
I’m hoping Reynolds has enough love from the wider community to be able to ignore Tallis.
You might be right but just can’t see Reynolds packing his life up again for 1 year with a new team.

Is it just me or does it seem like every time contracts and DCE come up it’s never straight forward with him?! Always a twist in the story?!

DCE said he won't be retiring from origin this year and won't sign with Manly no matter what they offer.
He says he hasn't got any other offers which I don't believe but if that is true, he'll get an offer in his email from the Roosters tomorrow and Dolphins as well.

That's crazy how things have changed so quickly... although Cherry is known for a backflip or 10... so Manly still not out of it until I see him suit up in a different jersey
