There's nothing new in this story. Kevvie's giving Badel nothing, so he's having to feather his column out with rehashed news.
I know it's fashionable to bash Badel for this, but it's tough having to keep the momentum going when the coach is giving you **** all. He's paid to file a few thousand words a day on the Broncos, and all Kevvie's got is he's waiting for Staggs to make up his mind. **** me dead that's pathetic.
If I were a betting man, I'd say Staggs is gone. These long negotiations rarely seem to go our way. And even if it does, he's fucking us around like Fifita all over again.
That aside, I have a bad feeling about Reynolds and hope we don't sign him. He should stay at Souths, that's his home. They know better than us what he's worth yet they're not willing to risk three years. He should accept the one year and prove them wrong. He can always go elsewhere at the end of that year. But it seems even he doesn't back himself that far out.
I get that he's a fantastic player - no argument - but he's not the player we want to build the club around. Maybe one year, but spending big on broken players got us to this point.

Ok by
He's not coming with or without the supercoach.
Yeah let’s just stick to what we have and be in the exact same spot next season shall we? .. FMD..

We should know within a week what Staggs is doing but I agree it has dragged on too long.
Don't worry about Reynolds he isn't coming.

Yeah, I heard Kevvie tell Badel that. Thing is, it's not the first time he's said it. Just like Fifita all over again.

Well seeing as how Reynolds has played 7 of his 10 years without Bennett as his coach and he wouldn't have been his coach next year if he had stayed at Souths i don't see why not.
Our hurdle for Reynolds is getting him to move his family.

I love your optimism but didn't you also see enough in the Titans, Storm, Souths and Parra games to suggest we are not close and we need some better players recruited?

Yeah I heard that too but that's not why I think it will get sorted soon.
Tomorrow is D Day and I think Staggs situation will be near the top of his very big in tray.

I agree to an extent regarding Reynolds. I don’t think any options are perfect but I think not signing a half is almost suicide. We need something to at least give the impression to others that things may improve next year because no one will want to be at the club if we don’t.
The key is to sign the least bad option. I think DCE would be a huge get though I don’t buy that it’s viable.
Out of Moses, Reynolds, and Johnson, I think it all comes down to price and length. Basically we need to fix our team but do so in a way that leaves enough money to land one of the actual marque players in a few years (Ponga, RTS, Grant, Munster, etc).
I think Johnson would be the most willing to come on a favourable contract so he’d probably be my preference. Reynolds you’re essentially just buying an amazing kicking game and not much else.
I don’t really have an answer but it could be the most important moment in the clubs history if they get it right.

Hearing him organize like that changed my mind on him.
Wish we had a mic'd up Milford to compare.
