And the grand final that Reynolds lead Brisbane to last year? Counts for nothing?

they punted him due to having injury issues, if he is gone for the year they have pulled the right reign if he can't play he is dead weight on the cap

You’ve already got him gone for the year? Thats quite the extreme.

whatever blore does we got the better deal out of that swap with olam

Its way too early to say that.
It is true at the moment but its a long year.

I was critical of olam thought we bought a busted storm reject, deadset wrong his defence is sensational compared to last year he wqs ordinary in that storm semi final

I reckon if we could get lomax for $600,000, he’s worth it. 3 year deal, with Olam fir now then large or Makaski in the next few years. He’s exactly the style we need to complement Olam.

Brisbane must have their own special ball. The way it’s bouncing for them is amazing.

Lomax is worth more than Tupou, and the tinned tuna payed $500,000 got him!

Great game tonight between 2 fantastic teams. Broncos probably should have won it but bombed a few tries. Looks like they’ve lost Reynolds for a few more weeks at least.

Looked upset eh 🥺

Gotta feeling his injury is going to keep him out for a big chunk , players don’t get that upset if it’s a minor and a few weeks out , I’d say maybe 6/8 weeks

Unfortunate.
He's an exciting player to watch and more than likely at the back end of his career.

Feel sorry for him.

He does. He’s made of glass. All his injuries tend to be 2-3 weeks though.

I see Hymel Hunt has signed on with the Ryde-Eastwood Hawks in the Ron Massey Cup .. which is affiliated with the WestsTigers, which means he could be playing for the Western Suburbs Magpies (NSW Cup) later in the season.

It's happening!!!!!!!!!

The narrative that Adam Doueihi is 'slow' seems to be more fable than fact.

I seem to remember him running down Tommy Turbo before hurting himself last season.

Really hate that Kline ,very easy to see who he wants to win with some of his shocking calls,good to see he didn't win his side bet tonight as much as he tried to influence the result.Hope we don't have him to often this season as he normally calls some stinkers against us.Should be retired for all the controversial call he has made with many more to come

If memory serves he left because they only offered him a one year deal. If they'd offered two that would have taken him up to the exact point at which he was nearly winning the premiership with Brisbane. During this period it's possible Lachlan Ilias would have got tired of waiting for his chance and signed elsewhere, at which point Souths would have needed a long-term solution at half back and possibly a temporary 'bridge' player who could do a plausible impression of Reynolds until that solution arrived. For instance, Aiden Sezer for 2024 and Jarome Luai thenceforth.

Funny how one decision a club makes can have a domino affect on half a dozen others.

Injuries aside, he was playing heavier and heavier in Melbourne, whilst looking a lot trimmer this year and thriving again without the excess bulk.

I can’t wait to see Brooks Wakeham for Manly. That’s going to be hilarious!

"Aloiai hits it up, offload to Paseka... Paseka stands in the tackle, handballs to Lodge, Lodge to Nathan Brown... Brown dummies, gets tackled, palms off to Wakeham... run-around with Brooks, cut-out to Talau... and Talau knocks it on, oh looked promising for a moment there for the Manly Sea-Eagpies!"

Didn’t Tom get beat by a drunken punter in the car park? Running that is. I’m a fan of Turbo, he’s great to watch in full flight, but I don’t think his nickname is representative of his speed across the ground.
