See how he goes. Credit goes to him for wanting to be reynos understudy. I just think he's not that talented but we have seen what blokes who work hard can accomplish. Cooper cronk was one of themWhy is everyone forgetting Madden in this discussion? He picked us apart last year, he could well have what it takes.
Reynolds game has changed to sacrifice consistency for creativity. He is far from the predictable, reliable cog he was at south’s and is now playing unshackled which sees him attempt much bigger plays with mixed results.
We would probably be better served by the more conservative version of Reynolds that played it safe and allowed the flashy guys to shine but it wouldn’t be as entertaining to watch.
I wouldn’t necessarily say he is better or worse but different
I've seen teams pressing up on Ezra more quickly. They've found a weakness in his game of playing near the line he either throws a sloppy pass or runs himself (or drops it cold). He's not dealing with this well. When the defence sit back - he generally looks a lot more dangerous.At Souths he had Cody and Latrell to do the creating .
He would pass deeper into the line and give those guys time and space .
Ezra doesn`t have the threat of run or pass to 3 different options like Walker so Reynolds attacks more himself .
And actually lately Ezra has been pretty ordinary in regular attacking shapes . Kicking game non existent lately .
If he wasn`t scoring tries by backing up I think other options may have been explored .
I have seen highlights of Ezra throwing some very sweet passes in back line plays in lower grades .So I know he can do it . Haven`t really seen it this season .
If it was to be the case I think he should be playing Halves now in QCup, because it's not happening I don't think he is in the plans for it.I don't mind the idea of Sailor being the long term replacement for Reynolds. He certainly seems to have a good long kicking game.
We'll need to be fast, his name has been uttered against several clubs already this year.If it was to be the case I think he should be playing Halves now in QCup, because it's not happening I don't think he is in the plans for it.
At this stage I think it's still likely we sign a player to be 7, after Reynolds.
A player I have noticed watching Super league a bit this season is Lachlan Lam, he was good in the pacific test last year but he has a very exciting style of play, with another year In the ESL I think he might be a good option.
We can't exactly be because it's in our best interest to keep Reyno as long as possible, if he gets signed so be it, whenever asked about coming back to Australia though he seems to want another season in England, his dad is the coach as well.We'll need to be fast, his name has been uttered against several clubs already this year.
So you happy for him to be sitting in the stand on Fri night.Now don't get me wrong because I LOVE what Arey's done for the club in only 1 1/2 years but come on, career best form? Naaah. The last month he's not been great and even on the weekend I think some of the great chip kicks he did is overshadowing the other poor kicks he had that game. Still had a good game mind you but there is no way he's in career best form.
Tell me how my post comes to that conclusion mate?So you happy for him to be sitting in the stand on Fri night.
