2025 Pre-season discussion. Training the house down.

I'm not saying that getting Reynolds back to 100% important. What I'm saying is your one and only captain we have needs to with his team, both training and playing. Leading by example and addressing any needed matters.

Yeah definitely it's important, but you don't take the C away from a bloke just because he got an injury

But the player with the C should be leading by example both on and off the field and training paddock.

Reynolds has been carrying a neck injury for a some time .
Remember he had some time off with a neck injury[ was it 2 seasons ago ?]

So it might be he was leading on and off the field the past cpl seasons until his body said enough is enough .
Which might actually inspire some of his younger team mates to harden up .

So again I must ask why do you think the guy that was one of the players cutting out of training early to beat traffic back to the GC fits that criteria? Should everyone follow that lead and start leaving training early?

Would you want to play under a Captain who doesn`t shut up ?
For me he is too vocal and not every one wants to be told what to do every play .
Haas for Captain .

captain too vocal? lol

 

[Big Del]

captain too vocal? lol

Too panicked and emotional with his vocals .
Not all Captains commentate the game as it is played . You reckon Reyno is chirping like Patty on every play ?

Pat is a fine player . Leader of men ? Jury is still out .

Much like parenting .
Too much talk and it loses it`s impact .

Ezra training.

I get what you're overall trying to say, to a point. I wouldn't call it panicked, maybe excited(?)
and I would agree that he hasn't got the balance right yet, when to be more chirpy. You want your words and volume...and pitch, to awaken/motivate/inspire the team when they need it. If its there all the time, it can become white noise.

Us husbands out there can relate ......

The redemption has commenced .

Dad`s too .
Talk too much and it has less impact on the kids .

Certain irony in Black taking over and driving Mam to training.

Of course he should, and he is. You are the only person who thinks he isn't.

I'm not saying he isn't when he's fit, I'm just stating he is too injury prone.

Tearing his bicep last year was a freak accident .
Other than that he is pretty consitent .

Again another meme - Oh Reynolds , he`s always injured .
Put that in the same file as the players don`t know how to play the game .
