NEWS "It's finals or fail" - Adam Reynolds

[Johnny92]

I'm not convinced there could be a better possible buy than Adam Reynolds at the moment.

Definitely agree Adam is one of the best in his position and in the top teir of best players in the game. its also the player the team has needed since Lockyer retired in 2011.

At this stage you'd say that's true, if he plays a majority of the games for us it could potentially be a bargain considering you got the Cows going out and buying someone like Chad Townsend for an identical price tag

And it’s been a good while since we ‘lured’ a big name signing from Sydney. So, we should be pulling out all the stops to make him as rich as can be so that the next time we go to the Sydney market the players look at how well off Adam ended up and will be tugging at the bit to sign up. It’s a win win for both parties.

Er, Jack Bird?

 

[Jedhead]

hmm... like Bird ? (also, 'tugging at the bit'? ikky)

I think you'd need to elaborate on your cryptic musings here matey s i don't have a clue what your on about sorry.

 

[Jedhead]

Er, Jack Bird?

Er, what about him?

 

[McHunt]

Yeah these are all good things to look for, I just hope that if he doesn't improve in these areas as expected, he just doesn't get in Paix's way.

Jake won't get in Paix's way unless he gets dropped to the Magpies.

Was he not a ‘big name’ from Sydney when we signed him?

Yeh I think as far as Benny was concerned you may be right there. I never saw him as a real 'big name' though and considered him inexplicably overrated. My memory is deteriorating fast, and the last real big name I think we have had come up from down south was Lazzo. At the time Choc Mundine's move was also in that category but they were turbulent times back then.

 

[Jedhead]

Izzy was a sizeable name at the time.

Yeh but he was 'lured' from Melbourne and only because they had to shed players to meet the salary cap bottom line.

Not from Sydney though obviously

Granted some of these went on to become big names, but most of them were hardly big names when we signed them.

Wallace

Richard Swain was a pretty big signing.

At the time he was a very well established, top tier hooker.

Didn’t work out for us though.
