Packer & Reynolds

[Tigerlily]

In a bizarre move which has overshadowed the Tigers gutsy upset over Manly, Reynolds and Packer inexplicably opted to leave Brookvale Oval at halftime.

Umm..it's only overshadowing it because you and your mate Buzzard would rather report on that than the amazing comeback Win..

So Geo does that mean willow is Hooper or Kent? call me curious.

 

[innsaneink]

Big deal,Josh cant get a game because the club legend keeps getting picked and produces poor performances,they won but JREY beside Brooks in previous games,the team performed better as a whole...Packer left because he doesnt know any better,look at his last few games and he knows why he was replaced...

As Madge said they didnt break any rules...

It is a very big deal

What madge says to the media and whet he's feeling I'm sure you'd know would be two very different things.
No team unity... No mateship.. It looked. Like we'd get pumped so they bailed, disrespected their team mates... How can they ever "be the player you wanna play with" ever again with us?
I hope they never cross the stripe & wear our jumper agin

So what Mark,he has been there and doing his best ,be honest you would get sick of showing up if your coach dont rate you but does a 35 year old legend thats gone a year to long...its not about the cuddly mateship anymore when you do your best but your not rated by the coach...and he has tried his best when given a shot...

He can suck it up and support his club and team mates or he can keep walking... You don't have to be mates with the coach and tough titties if he's not rated... 30 or whatever into 17 don't go

What really irks me immensely is the following comment... “ It’s an incredible show of faith when you consider the noise surrounding Maguire’s tenure at the club. The murmurs of discontent in the playing ranks keep bubbling along,....

So poor performance, whinging whiny, subpar results etc etc is the coaches fault....not the players.... the media and others always fall on the side of the players, regardless...

Maguire is no more of a hard task master than Bellamy, Stuart, etc just the quality of livestock is the difference. Good players with the right mental attitude respond....others who want the easy payday or have limited ability and can’t reach the required level, can’t...end of story.

I for one am very happy we are extended Maguire and erring on the side of the coach for a change and let’s be honest Maguire has the coaching chops....

 

[Macca0806]

Packer and Reynolds should have to stand in front of the entire playing squad and coaching staff tomorrow morning and explain their reason for not showing any faith, respect, loyalty or leadership by abandoning the players by leaving at half time.

The players who bust their gut week in week out on a fraction of their pay packets like Harry Grant, Nofa, Josh Aloiai, McIntyre and Eisenhuth deserve an explanation.

I have taught my two sons from a young age that loyal fans always show their support and respect to the players by staying to the final siren irrespective of the result.

It is just the right thing to do.

As Madge said they didnt break any rules...

This sums it up, Grub is stuck behind Benji, god knows why, and Benji is on a farewell tour, god knows why, so he is a million to 1 to get a game, it must be so frustrating, but he should know better

It might be frustrating for Josh to watch Benji do his farewell tour but he hasn't exactly been busting the door down to get Benji's spot. He needs to suck it up for a month and bust his ring out over the offseason to show he's worthy of the 6 next year. It's inexcusable.

How can he bust the door down, he was streets ahead of Benji until he got suspended, and since then he hasn't been picked, and the team has suffered as a consequence of that. Why Madge didn't drop Benji and bring Grub in after the pathetic effort in his 250th game is a disgrace

Rubbish, Reynolds is just as bad as Benji, a complete waste of money.

That is your opinion, thats fine, I disagree, we looked a far better team with Grub at 6, our right side centre and winger were not getting jammed up for room with Benji running across field, BJ looked the best he has all year with early ball.
We nearly rolled penrith, it was our best run of the year, I still don't understand how Grub didn't go straight back in to the team, considering Benji threw in some stellar bad performances since then.

He provides absolutely nothing in attack, I will agree he gives BJ early ball but that is because he has no ability to create space for his outside men so just shovels the ball off. Most of his supporters rave about the energy he plays with, you are saying he gives early ball, I am sorry but I am looing for more from a half than that. I wish he was leaving the club along with Benji.

He has a better short kicking game than Benji and forces repeat sets, his long kicking game is good, and he leads the chase, the proof is in our performances, we performed better with Grub at 6. I am not saying he is a star, but he is better than a 35 year old Benji. But we should be chasing Burton and Staines as a package for next year, but I am talking about 2020 at the moment

The only games we managed to score in while Grub was in the team was against side with absolutely no defense, its a myth that we were better when Grub was playing. We were a bit stronger in defense but couldn't score.

Truth is that many people including the head coach dont rate Jrey,so why should he stay if he wasnt in the squad to play at all...dont use the huge amount he is paid,thats not his fault and yes I do think he is far better beside Brooks than Benji..it has been proven..

I don't know how you can say something that is subjective is proven. He should have stayed to support his team mates, to show his coach he is a team player, to show he wants to be here. All that leaving shows is that you don't care, if that is the case leave and keep walking.

Mate you have your opinion and I have mine,he isnt rated by Madge and we get Benji week in week out ,J Rey does great work off the field with the community to show his loyalty to the club but cant get a run because the legend has to play his farewell tour....
I dont care if he leaves tommorrow,he wasnt in the squad to play so what if he went home...

Yes we have our opinions, that's why it can't be proven because it is subjective.

Because he walked out on his team mates, he showed them he thought he had better things to do. It is actually worse than not showing up at all, he was there and he walked out on them, wasn't there to support them. I'd be filthy if I was his team mate.

You got that wrong cochise...JRey is only a squad member...he hasnt been a teammate since Benji had to have his farewell tour....

Only a squad member? What rubbish, he would expect others to put in for him if he got a recall and he couldn't even bother to stay and support them because he was cold. They just burnt their reputation with the whole team, I wouldn't want to play with them again.

Read the latest from the club ceo...Reynolds wasnt required to attend the game but turned up anyway to support them....so what if he left at half time.....you and avo have an agenda against reynolds ....but who cares ....

Haha a... Agenda?
The irony

 

[ElleryHanley]

The absolute bottom line is that ANY players who leave at half time are:

1. Not invested in the team.
2. Do not care whether the team win or lose.
3. Have literally said "yeah, I'd rather be warm than watch this for another 40 mins'.

This is a cancerous culture....I could almost accept an apology from two rookies on little coin, but these are blokes on massive money whose ONLY job when not playing is to be a professional and show the younger players what being a pro is about.

They both need to go.

You don’t need to have an agenda against Reynolds to label what he did disgraceful. How you can defend something so blatantly wrong beggars belief. If he doesn’t want to attend the games he should just bugger of somewhere else.

What a joke.

Big-money Tigers WALKED OUT of Brookie before teammates staged epic comeback win
September 6, 2020 8:23pm
JAMES HOOPER
Source: FOX SPORTS

The Wests Tigers have vowed to get tough with $1.6 million walkabout stars Josh Reynolds and Russell Packer.
In a bizarre move which has overshadowed the Tigers gutsy upset over Manly, Reynolds and Packer inexplicably opted to leave Brookvale Oval at halftime.

The Tigers then staged a fight back to record one of the club’s best wins of the season but the duo was nowhere to be seen in the victorious dressing rooms.

After The Daily Telegraph exposed the pair on Sunday afternoon, CEO Justin Pascoe and chairman Lee Hagipantelis intend to hit them with both barrels on Monday.

Tigers chairman Hagipantelis is the boss of Bryden’s Lawyers with the club examining what punishments they can serve.

“The actions are not acceptable from my perspective. We are focused on ensuring every single person, player coach administrator board members actions are in complete alignment with the expectation of higher standards,” Pascoe said.

“Both Lee and I will speak directly again with the players tomorrow. The actions portray a look of the club that is not accurate and takes away from the hard fought win on Saturday night.

“The behaviors you walk past are the behaviors you accept and we won’t walk past these, they need to be addressed and not accepted.”

You know what Lee, I'm getting abit sick of the pep talks of "the behaviours you walk past" and the behaviours not being accurate with the club. I actually think what they both did sits quite comfortabally with our club which has all been overseen by the current board and Justin. It's only now that it gets found out that you want to do something about it. These idiotic and selfish players should be already operating under a strict and clear system and know exactly what's expected of them. Does anyone do anything behind the scenes at this club or are they all sitting back picking their new offices and wall colour schemes for the new COE. C'mon Lee, get real and make a real example out of these 2, I'm sick of rubbish talk of change, I want to see it mate.

 

[Viking Warrior]

I don't think we will see all 3 of them in our colors again. All 3 are under the microscope now and while I respect the fact they want to stay sometimes it's easier to move on on your own accord then getting pressured by management and having the screws turned on you. This is the start of them being managed out of the club imo.

 

[Furious1]

Don’t worry too much Dazza. Unfortunately the media is all over it, but I take what Chammas says with a grain of salt. He would have been salivating at this story. He is a massive Panthers fan and funnily enough never seems to point out how his mate Ivan’s signings taking up all the coin are a major part of crippling this club. But that’s what they call “ journalism” these days.

Yes they are employed by the Tigers....but Reynolds wasnt required to be there at all,but went and left at half time...not a ridiculous comparison at all when macca said you dont leave the game as a supporter no matter the result...you dont have to go to the game and stay all game if you dont want to its a fre world ...I choose to come and go as I please once again JR wasnt required to be there BUT went anyway...he can go at half time if he wants...

That's fine mate, I'm sure J Rey will appreciate your support but I don't appreciate his. Maybe he should offer to take half a pay cut to take one for the team. Well let's face it him and Russel are only half committed to the team as they have shown.
