Official - Josh Reynolds Signs Megathread

[Blackpearl]

Anyone else thinking what's with our recent signings waiving cooling off periods? Attempt at enticing a couple local juniors to stick around before it's too late? or loading us up with as much good news as possible before breaking us the bad news?

I'm still hoping Teddy will stay. Is that too much to ask?!

Hopefully, very hopefully maybe teddy will have a rethink with the tigers being pro active in recruitment and a genuine, real deal coach 😛ray:

Listening to James Graham talk and it told me 3 things
1\. Josh Reynolds is a great signing for this club - Ivan continues to add a hard edge on the field but also the right people off the field

2\. If we can get James Graham for 2 yrs as Captain and prop then we need to do that too

3\. No one has spoken about the players leaving the Tigers like that none of their team mates nor are they likely too

If we took Graham and Reynolds they will riot in the streets

Great news. Just saved me 2 grand. Bye bye to my membership and merchandise. The missus is stoked.
Reynolds is the player i hate the most. Dirtbag of the highest order.

Hey Tim, sounds like your missus has more balls than you
She is stoked, you clearly not happy and ready to pull the pin ..

What you gonna do with the money you save ? watch some other team play ?

No, i'll wait until Reynolds is gone. I've got time, he doesn't. And no i won't support another team but i can't support a team with Reynolds in it.

mate i think you are looking at the glass half empty
There are certain players that we all love to hate
Reynolds is one that can easily get under the skin
Mick Ennis was easily the other
Like everyone loves to hate Manly for example

I think once he wears our jersey and does a bit of good you might warm up to him

Everyone tells me Woods is a dirty grub, i dont see it because he wears our colours.
Next year he will stick out like a sore thumb and irritate the hell out of me.

I just think you are calling it quits re Reynolds a bit too soon, hang in there Tim .
Dont be soft like the players wanting to leave our club.

Mate I understand. But at this stage il do anything or let any player start as long as it will shut the media up about how crap we are. Time to be ruthless on and off the field.

Weird how everyone seems to be saying Reynolds' biggest plus is how much he tries.

You know who tries really hard EVERY match? Moses. Doesn't make him a good fit then.

Reynolds is good because he's direct. Passion is a side thing and good to have but isn't the reason we should be happy.

Great post. Ive been thinking the same thing re Moses.

JReyn has a simple and direct game. Something we haven't had in the halves for a long time.

I would say Reynolds has a better and more consisted Long kicking game than Moses finds the grass often and leads the chase with gusto…Short not so much..That is where Brooks needs to lift his level...

He brings more than just running,,,

How good does Graham present? He would be a huge asset to us. The way he spoke about how grub broke it to him though I think it is safe to say he's staying put.

New curtains and cushions for his missus

Success comes at a cost. You play hard or go home. Tigers have been SOFT for years. Adding some players with a hardened edge and do or die competitive spirit isn't a bad thing. Packer/Reynolds etc bring that grit that every team needs

Im hoping Brooks will do most of our long kicking. When Luke first came to grade I thought he would soon have the best long kicking game in the comp (his ability to kick long and low is freakish). But for some reason Moses became our primary kicker, a decision I never understood.

The weekend showed that IC recognises Luke's ability in this area. Im looking forward to seeing some 40/20s.

Dont be soft like the players wanting to leave our club.

I like hard tough players and want more of them on my team. My problem is he goes out there and trips people or attempts to and acts like a spoilt brat. I understand the game has changed but when i started watching in the late 70's if someone did that they would cop a flogging and rightly so. He is typical of kids nowadays and has no respect and yes he is a grub.
He is always backing up and putting pressure on the kick chase but other than that i can't see one more positive.
I prefer players like Mcilwrick, Gillett or Cordner who play hard, hit hard and run hard and don't need to lower themselves. For me the way Reynolds carries on he is trying to make up for his deficiencies. I love the Tigers and was all in with Cleary's changes but for me this is just stupid.

We all have our different opinions but i just hate the guy.

Have you heard any indication of the money Reynolds will be on, or have the 360 clowns got it spot on?

Since Woods and Graham have started appearing on NRL360 my view of each has been reversed, I now have a lot of respect for Graham, and not so much for Woods.

As much as I dont like Reynolds, I think you have a point,

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The day we sign Reynolds is the day I cease being a WT supporter.

So, what now?

No one here is denying or ignoring the brain fades and farts Reynolds has.

My guess is fatigue plays a big part, he does dumber stuff as game goes on
Hoping he cuts out that rubbish when he plays for us ..

Let us know if he does win you over as time goes on Tim.

Watching NRL 360 tonight and it must be hard for them to say the tigers have done well… NO just point out negatives etc...
When they said we should of signed Cronk or Foran I was thinking have they lost it..
Foran is already going to the dogs (Des is like a father to him) and if we wait until after SOO all the other good players would be gone and we are up shit creek with no paddle if Cronk retires.

I was expecting them to say well done to the tigers on moving forward in a positive direction BUT NO..

Look at the Warriors, Knights, and Panthers - These are the clubs that they should be talking about not us now.

Well done Clearly and Co.

well, im with you. Previously didnt like Graham at all

Now to me
Woods a typical bogan
Graham a well spoken Englishman

didnt think i'd say it but thats the summary i have nowadays of them
