Tigers tell Reynolds he's free to find a new club

[hsvjones]

I have a feeling he is going to kill it this week and i hope he does.. Every game he has played we have look good and won a good percentage of them..

Too small a sample space in 2 years he's played 9 games 3 coming off the bench for 4 wins and 5 losses...

@Geo Understand and agree but I just love the Energy and think we really lack that..
This is a great opportunity for him to show off his skills if he knows he is not in our plans.

 

[Sart0ri]

He is a terrible hooker!

Not big enough to be a forward
Not fast enough to be a back
Not skillfull enough to be a half
That only leaves hooker.

 

[Sart0ri]

@Sart0ri He has never player as a half, he has worn number 6 but played a unique roll for Bulldogs and NSW

Agreed

I think it's a credit to the bloke the way he has handled himself though ...could have kicked stones but hasn't..

Don't get me wrong I hope he slays it too ..not so much for our benefit which will be the bonus but his..to show what he has to offer on the field...culture wise he is a quality bloke..

How many blokes could we have side "culture wise he is a quality Bloke"

More than you could count

Reynolds has a very underrated kicking game. His vision to spot space for a short kick and then chase is incredible. In attack there's no doubt he can be a good dummy half. We saw it for the Bulldogs way back when he first came into first grade. Defence and fitness is a huge concern.

But god I love the guy. I really want him to do well.

He has not looked good at hooker in the past!

I think there is huge doubt on him as a hooker, his passing game is not up to NRL standard from dummy half!

He's not great at 9 to be honest. Service is just a bit better than Taylors but nothing special. Much better at 6 in my opinion.

Would be interesting to see Madge trial Reynolds/Benji/Brooks at 6/7/9 respectively sometime in the match since our season is done anyway.

I actually believe that
6. Reynolds
7. Benji
9. Brooks

Is the only option for the next couple of weeks, ET is the worse hooker I've seen but Reynolds is the 2nd worst.

@cochise I just don't think Maguire will think to put Brooks at No.9......someone tell Madge to follow the forum!

Look Josh Reynolds is a nice guy. His biggest asset as a footballer is his energy he brings to a game. This is can be a double edged sword as his over enthusiasm does come with brain explosion errors. Josh is not the most talented or a top shelf footballer, his true salary is in the $300-$400k p.a. max…If he had signed with the Tigers for that amount they would not be shopping him around….It looks like there is little interest for Josh at his current contract term 2 years left at $800k p.a., so, if I were Josh I’d be going in and having a talk with the Tigers and seek to cancel the current contract and re-negotiate a 3 year term at $400k p.a….I bet they would jump at that

Why would Reynolds try to renegotiate a 2 year contract worth $1.6m for a 3 year contract worth $1.2m?

Because he 1) Wants to play first grade 2) no other club is keen on him 3) The tigers need a 5/8 after Benji retires 4) Josh openly states iits not just about the money

Sorry but if he did that he'd be the stupidest man on the planet. If your employer came to you and said they're going to cut your salary in half but your employment would be guaranteed an extra year would you take it? Of course you wouldn't.

Lawrance renegotiated his contract over 3 years. In saying that, I think Reynolds would be stupid to extend to 3 years for less money

The real possibility alternative is he stays with the Tigers for 2 more years playing CC, over this time his NRL value just drops away and he becomes a forgotten man..

If his true salary is even as low as $3/400k, then he shouldn't ever be playing reserve grade.
