I probably cursed Reynolds.
I've got a 6 game membership and I used up one of my games to get tickets for this and now Reynolds is out.
My luck has been pretty shit lately.
There was a long period there, I'm talking years, where every game against a top 4 side I went to the Broncos lost. That curse was finally broken in 2015.
Now comes the next curse.

I would probably be expecting more players to be announced out in the next week.

The nrl can surely not justify a "fair" competition if we have 7 or 8 top 17 out. If it was the rooster, souths or storm in this position the discussion would be happening now, but it won't be considered until we start using our 12 year old scholarship players

The opposing argument to those saying it’s good to get it out of the way early is that our draw is the easiest it’s been for the start of the season. After about the first 5 games it goes on another typical terrible run. If we don’t snag a few wins early we may miss the opportunity to win any more games than last season.

And then find out that if they are any good, they are then also poached by the Roosters.

It's obviously not as critical but **** losing hethrington is a big blow too these days with the form he was in...
I really, really hope Walters keeps carrigan at prop. Carrigan plays better there and hethrington is exactly what we need at lock. I'd be chucking paliaasia there.
Also, all this talk of anyone but Gamble taking Reynolds spot I feel is missing the point. For me, in the trials Gamble was told to play the organiser and tight side of the field when he was on. That means he is a ready made replacement for him, despite the quality dropping dramatically.
One thing that may help us is Gamble getting under walkers skin.

Pretty sure Gamble is also in doubt due to covid protocols

Reynolds confirmed it. Not sure if it’s anywhere more official.

Thanks, is there a link to Reynolds' interview?

We now know at least half the team has already had Covid, but we only know about half those names. I'd like to gerry up a checklist but here's all I have so far:
Piakura
Palasia
Carrigan
Haas *
Capewell *
Flegler *
Isaako *
Walters
Gamble
Kelly
Reynolds
Fannyworth
Hetherington
*unconfirmed
I guess we have to look on the positive side of things now, with Reynolds out he doesn't come in play his 1st game against defending premieres. Reynolds 1st run is with a bottom 4 bulldogs who are trying to get a new spine going. We want Reynolds confidence high so if he can come in and seem like he makes a big change then the rest of the team should follow. From looking at our 1st 4 games we have a strong chance to be 3 wins 1 lose.
