Official - Josh Reynolds Signs Megathread

[GNR4LIFE]

Out of our 3 signings so far, he is the best.

As for TMM. Could he be a fullback option?

 

[The_Queen]

Looks like Moses won't get released now then. Can't chase TMM if we've signed Reynolds

TMM also played fullback on the odd occasion in lower grades so maybe that's a possibility mite be a bit small

 

[Sco77y]

He's a goalkicker also isn't he?

5 Field Goals in his Career….

I also think the Amount Reported for signing him is somewhat exaggerated...

Yes, the base salary and the car! Lol where do these guys come up with this stuff??

They left out the harbour-side mansion and holiday to the moon!

 

[hobbo]

950k reported a year

750k is what I'm hearing

That sounds a lot more realistic Hobbo.

3 mill / 4 years …750k

Plus a free Samsung washing machine if you belive every rumour :laughing:

I hope he's some kind of option, would love to have him back and would improve our depth massively, especially if we need to shift players around. Could be a future star and hoping for him instead of Reynolds.. Although he is the better option for the short term.

Pascoe has said multiple times, don't believe anything published unless it comes directly from the Wests Tigers.

People still can't help themselves.

So in case people didn't listen to Pascoe the first time around, unless a member of the Tigers management personally comments on something, it's not official, it's speculation.

Think of it like Star Wars. There's a lot of material out there over decades, many nice stories, but if it's not officially published by LucasFilm (aka Disney) then it's not canon.

Very true Obi Won…

If you added up every 'reported' figure in the Media..every Club would be a couple of Mill over every year...

Hes bigger than Tedesco i think. Hes got pace too. Seen him roll in that newcastle winger awhile ago. Ran him down from the other side of the fieldm

 

[underdog]

If we can get TMM AND Reynolds, that would be interesting…

 

[Clawdan]

Just heard reynolds confirmed sighned with tigers for 4yrs 950k a year

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

If as reported it's a $3m deal over 4 years its $750k not $950k a year. Hadley et al should go buy a $5.00 calculator!

thats including the price of the car lol

 

[smoking_gun]

950k reported a year

Hope that's wrong. That's massive overs…Wouldn't have gone above 650k given we're paying Brooks 550k.

It's not 950k and I've never seen josh Reynolds kick goals in his time in first grade

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Just need Tuimoala Lolohea to sign now, then we would have the following side:

1.Lolohea 2.Nofoaluma 3.Idris 4.Suli 5.Naiqama 6.Reynolds 7.Brooks 8.Matulino 9.McIllwrick 10\. Ava 11.Aloiai 12.Lawrence 13.Taylor 14.Sue 15.Liddle 16.Felise 17.Tatola or Marsters

Hopefully the Tigers we release or not resign the following 7 players: Ballin, T. Grant, Lovett, Rankin, Hunt, LittleJohn and Edwards and go after some other players to fill our squad.

Isn't the centre supposed to be able to keep up with The average backline players.
It'll be interesting to see whether our newfound slide defence suits a player who can't move laterally. Not just baking him, but he's terrible at moving sidewards. And way Ivan's done ok so far, he may be able to do something to help that. I just don't know whatnas it's been a problem since Sheens owned him

If that's the case then he could replace Moses for the rest of the year and then move to fb for 2018\. But how well can he play fullback? I highly doubt Cleary will just take a punt on that position given we have money to spend

 

[GNR4LIFE]

There's a lesson here for all the chicken little's who were claiming we wouldn't attract anyone. Money talks.

 

[Russell]

Well! Well Well
We have certainly changed the culture of the club.

If the signing of Reynolds is true - I along with a number of "we don't want any grubs" fraternity among the supporters will just have to put feelings aside and hope on this occasion "the leopard has changed his spots.

Getting in your face, being enthusiastic, wearing your heart on your sleeve, standing up for your mates and having a never give up attitude are all admirable traits. Let's hope he concentrates on these rather than some of the others he is known for.

Hopefully Cleary can get that out of his game and turn him into an asset.

 

[Yossarian]

If we can somehow retain Tedesco we are possibly looking at a backline with Tedesco, Nofo, Suli, Milne, Reynolds and Brooks. You could put Happy on the other wing and it'd still look good.

 

[wtrob]

Welcome to the club Josh. Happy to have him. He's our grub now :slight_smile:

Obviously because he hasn't done so. But he certainly can kick goals and did so in lower grades.

 

[TigerBoyJoeyJoJo]

Not happy about this at all.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

I'd rather we explored other options more. He's probaby the best available option in terms of next season but we'll be stuck with him for the 3 after that. Feels like they're chasing immediate results which only seems to work if you're the Roosters and can actually buy the best players, not just the best available players…

We need to chase immediate results to attract other quality players in the next 2 or 3 years. We were quickl running out of "other options to explore". Foran, Johnson and Widdop are all locked up now by the looks, Cronk could take months to work out whether he wants to play next year or take up making mirrors for his modelling career. We had to act now or miss out on any quality 5/8th option.
Happy with Reynolds, would of preferred someone with a better organizing style of game but he is a competitor, that is exciting IMO.
