This team looks good man, they should be comfortably in the 8 this season dependent on injuries.

1 through 7 is comfortably bottom 8 material.

You may be riding a wave of self satisfaction after tearing into Kev for longer then most and now it looks bad for him, but this is rediculious.

He’s said similar things in a number of media videos but this one is from the below and was just the first one I found

The moment Adam Reynolds knew his Souths stay was over

As he prepares to take on his former club for the first time, Adam Reynolds spoke about the very moment he knew his one-club player dream at Souths was over.

There's a bit of Manly about the Broncos, whether or not we want to admit it.

Every other club's set of fans hates us. They get more joy seeing us get belted than they do seeing their own team win. Des loves that sort of environment I feel, he was great for Manly before he set off to the Doggies.

Doggies were a similar club at the time too

As much as I would enjoy discrediting you.....

I also remember Reynolds saying WB thought Brisbane would be a good move for him. WB certainly didn't try and dissuade him from coming up here.

this is why we should be bringing someone in as an assistant to take over , that way it's a settled transition like Bennett wanted with demetriou.
we've started fresh to many times and we need stability within the roster, instead of bringing a new coach in and starting all over again.
i really think we missed the boat on rohan Smith, he should've been added after his premiership with norths but I'd doubt he would be willing to come back for an assistant job.

Kev does not appear to be the type who can handle competent subordinates. He appears to fearful of being white-anted or success being attributed to others. I think this will be his downfall to be honest, as all his hires so far have been mates and siblings.

I would love to be discredited. I want us to have a good coach, I don’t care if it’s Kev or not. It’s definitely not personal

if so it most probably will be, every good coach needs a good coaching team to help win a premiership.

Wayne may have pointed him in our direction ,but I do remember 1910 saying DD and Walters handing him the Broncos 7 jersey to land him at a meeting in Sydney.
so it's not like he just fell in our lap there was alot of interest from cronulla and cows.

But convinced as in his mind was made?

That would imply Kevvie didn't need to even go visit him to make his intentions, I remember plenty here at the time had some reservations.

That’s also been discussed publicly.

The series of events seems to be:

- Reyno got offered 1 year and bunnies wouldn’t budge
- Wayne spoke to Alf and suggested he tell Kev to sign Adam
- Wayne told Adam that Brisbane would be good for him
- Walters organised to go meet with Adam
- DD started his role and flew down with Kev
- during the meeting they gave Reyno the broncos 7 jersey
- Reyno signs soon after

A bit of a group effort really

Hmm…I’m not so sure if it’s a solid debating technique to just make up your own definition of what convinced means and that use that against me but I’m no authority on the matter

You said convinced, not helped convince.

I'm not the head master of english but I know the two differ.

Geoff Toovey an option? At least he'll blow up in a press conference every now and then, rather than just wiping down the table and saying 'certainly' too many times.

all of that probably had to happen for us to land Reynolds.

but I'd argue that If Kev didn't fly down to meet ARey and his family, the whole thing would have fallen over, given the bigger offer from the Sharks; and the fact that they had the next best thing coming in to coach the team ... a coach who had already meet ARey to sell him his vision of the Sharks future.

people will paint this any way they like depending on the side of the argument they fall on. It should remembered that at the time we signed Arey and Capewell, we had a CEO who barely had his feet under the desk and an unpopular recruitment/football manager on the verge of getting shit canned. so both of those signings in particular would have taken a big effort on the part of the coach (who hadn't been at the club too long himself)
