Reynolds has the benefit of playing in a top quality side. Benji at 36 looks great at South’s.
Says it all really

What about CHN from Raiders? Not getting game time. Explosive edge backrower. Had his problems off the field and not very bright - but could add another dimension for us, especially in attack.
Isn’t he just being disciplined hence the demotion? He’’ll probably be back in no time for them
Another knuckle head

On our left side defence, Brooks is the big hitter who has Luciano’s back in defence. Oh for a Barnett.

How anyone could possibly want Folau is beyond me.
Why? We are short on backs and the guy is as good an athlete as you will find.
Hasn’t played NRL in 10 years and would be a PR disaster. Would be a shocking decision.
If our main sponsor has left the door open then maybe it’s a possibility. Played super league last year .
I can’t see us being that stupid tbh
And PV has said no way he’s coming back despite the Christian campaign.
Not sure what the courts would say despite PV thinking he is above the law
Who cares - we are not a retirement/superannuation home anymore - unless we sign Reynolds that is.
Reynolds is 30, and despite what some people are sprouting he is not injury prone, check how many games he has missed through injury, it is not many at all.
And if people thinks he is not an upgrade, well I have been watching different games to them, he offers a lot of what we don’t have but desperately need.
Souths cap for 2023 is just about tapped out, that is the sticking point on the second year, no conspiracy theory31 this year though.
And yeah he’s missed stuff all footy through injury but the concern and why I think Souffs offered him 2 years with a club option is his back. All it takes is one more bad collision and he could be forced into early retirement
As I already mentioned, the 2nd year issue is souths cap is full for 2023, nothing to do with injury concerns, Keary is 29 and missed a stack of footy with injuries, would you sign him if you could

Early retirement isn’t an issue. We medically retire him if need be, and go back in the hunt for another half. We shouldn’t lose out much in the cap.

Yeah, GNR . . . I guess this is just the end result of his comment calling Folau “filth or trash” or whatever he said. Nobody sees the initial aggression as wrong, they only see the sarcastic reply as the wrong thing to say.
Folks seem to get real wound up about a guy that quoted the bible and mentioned 6 or 7 different types of " sinners". Nobody said a thing about Folau implicating the adulterers and fornicators, but the mere mention of the word “homosexuals” and you all go beserk.
The real filth are the guys that beat their women, stomp on people’s heads and threaten to end their life, and such. But very little is said about them. Unless it’s a gay bloke’s head they are stomping.
I’ll fetch the popcorn . . . .
PS: and as far as whoever it was that originally called I.F filth having the guts to say it to his face . . . well, we will never know because on the internet we are all hero’s. -

I’m a fan of the Daine Laurie / Harry Grant approach, I was hoping Madden could get there but he’s looking at being either a late boomer or the kid just doesn’t have it

One story debunking the injury myth, another on souths cap for 2023, you can read full stories if you like
https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/reynolds-on-verge-of-walking-out-on-rabbitohs-as-club-stands-ground-20210406-p57gxp.html
It was also revealed that the Rabbitohs had more contracted players for 2023 than any other club, and would have only about $2 million to spend on 16 players if the contracts of Reynolds and Cody Walker were extended for another two years. That would leave the club with a per-player average of just $125,000 to spend on the remaining squad.https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/wayne-bennett-blasts-talk-adam-reynolds-is-on-restricted-duties/news-story/f00e4768352dd248e2b1440d86ca61fa
Wayne Bennett has blasted talk that South Sydney skipper Adam Reynolds is on restricted duties as he fights for his future at the Rabbitohs.
Bennett, however, is more angered about reports that Reynolds has been on restricted training since fracturing his back in 2019.The halfback’s camp is annoyed that this information has been leaked to clubs like the Cowboys in a bid to undermine his value on the market.

It’s a good point, there’s not much out there in the halves. A lot of clubs are having to look at young unproven halves as a result.
I hope Brooks is seeing someone to get his head jn the right space, I am assuming that’s the reason he didn’t do much short kicking last week, unless Madge directed him not to.

End of the day mate it’s not my call and I’m far from qualified to do so but it just wouldn’t be my approach. I guess I just look at the Penrith systems where the focus is on youth and hope we can follow the same model.

There is plenty of growth left in Mikaele. We have a couple I would much rather pass on.
