Agree. I thought Reynolds really dug deep and aimed up which is difficult to do simultaneously.So sick of cliches and truisms especially from captains.I guess the Bulldogs will hear plenty from that big lump of a lad with massive thighs.

Which comments "“At the Bulldogs, everyone has kids, 23, 24-year-olds – they have three or four kids. Mum is just sitting up in the stands thinking ‘what’s wrong with my son’. She just says I have to rejuvenate my life, but it’s about her. I have to have kids for her. It’s not about me or my partner, it’s actually about her.”
I don't know, that kind of leadership could ruin our season for the next 3-4 years. But hey we would be Dominant with a 60 player reserve in about 20 years time :wink:
I don't think Reynolds should be Captain. I think Cleary should just pick someone with a Level head, preferably going with the South Sydney 5 multi captain model.
*crazy idea of the week* 17 captains. ref wants to argue the call, all 17 go get him!

Sorry Fibros but no way. I have never bagged Brooks on this forum but judging from interviews etc he simply doesn’t have the smarts to be captain

Watching Brooks in his video profile, he seems to have a lisp which would stop him from enunciating well. That would probably cause the casual observer to conclude that he may not have very high intelligence but that may or may not be the case. I say good on him for having the courage to speak in front of the camera and we should give him credit for that.
Intelligence apart though, I think he'll have enough on his plate without even thinking about captaincy and anyway, there are far more qualified contenders for the job than Luke.

There is another NRL podcast with him and his best bud Klemmer available, with plenty of that, but it is what it is.
Was interesting that despite the rumbling of the sort and to the contrary, he said nobody at WT spoke to him about reneging once he signed and both sides just moved on.

I think co-captaincy would suit him and not change things much at all, as he will be the one barking the orders and controlling the play anyhow. That way he doesn't have to front up to the media continually as others can carry out that aspect of the role.

Sorry just saw it mentioned above.
Can I just say on Reynolds comments on the reason for having kids.
Who honestly thinks his being serious. You take things so literal. It’s sarcasm. I don’t have kids myself but he said is pretty common with most family’s.
Mum just wants me to settle down cause she wants to be a grandmother.
His quote about he doesn’t care who the mum is, is obviously still speaking from his mums point of view.
The bit that I thought you guys would be up in arms about is when he conceded he would not make a good captain because his too much of a hothead on the field and as such would have a tough time getting the respect from the referees.
Finally it was mentioned that Chris Lawrence will most likely be captain.
Is that for Second Grade because all I’ve read is that no one even expects Chris to be in the starting side at all.
If he is replaced by McQueen as a lot of suggestions have been made his only going to be club captain or captain of NSW Cup.
I for one hope that if he does get picked captain and a starting spot that he remains fit and firing.
It’s a tough decision who ever you pick most likely won’t be on the field for 80.
Here is a left field one.
Kev and play him permanently on the left wing???

I'm a little more confident, in that I think Reynolds biggest asset to our club is his competitiveness. He is a player who isn't best in the world in his position, but his drive to win and compete is as strong as anyone in the league, which is exactly what we needed.
I think he is ideally suited to Brooks, in that Reynolds will motivate other players to get in the line quicker, get off the line quicker, find that extra energy when exhausted that only comes from passion and a strong drive to win. Brooks can focus on organising a play or two here and there, and actually play off the team's momentum instead of having to create the team's momentum which is not Brooks' strong suit.
Watson, although potentially very talented, is another Tui Lolohea - possibly great value but a risk, he could go either way. We don't need another one of them in our spine, with our hooker (Liddle) also in that category. We needed someone with seasoned experience in our spine, and Reynolds fits that well.
Like you mate, fingers crossed it all comes together. But Cleary I think seems to have a very good plan.
