Really dont want Reynolds.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Mon Nov 02, 2020 9:05 pm  

I would have no issue with reynolds, he is the ultra competitor and is better than lui. I reckon wests would pay some of his wages too, might even bring russell packer with him. Cant think of many other five eighths that would be willing to come from Aus, not much over here either other than trueman.

Either way I still believe prop should be our priority

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Mon Nov 02, 2020 10:34 pm  

I’d be surprised if we went for Reynolds given think Lui is under contract for 2 more years and we’ve Got Myler and Callum mc.
Also not sure he really fits the signing good lads model.

Give Long a chance to work with the halves and I’d hope he could improve Walker’s game as well.

We did minimum 1 real quality prop and I reckon a 6th prop to enable Prior to play at loose forward against bigger packs.

Rob Butler from London could be a useful addition but he maybe heading for the wire

New starting prop plus Ava, Mik, Holroyd would give us another dimension.

Anyone else see Cam Smith migrating into the front row like his brother over the next few years?

Be interesting to see what happens with Ward now Toronto are gone. Such a shame with his injury record.

6 is difficult because to get someone who is real quality and creative often means an ego. Leeds are clearly trying to build a hard working and harmonious culture and any new player needs to fit in.

No!

He's quite a bit smaller than his brother and Dan has always been a prop. Cameron will make a very good 13

I agree at the moment Smith is struggling with form and probably confidence.Before his broken jaw he was playing very well, him and the coaching team need to bring that back.

Seen Thompson linked with wigan now with burgess heading the other way, any legs to that? We should deffo be pulling out the stops to try get him in, big nasty prop and doesn’t use a quota spot is exactly what we need

I know George’s Mrs wants him to back to the NRL and to be fair it hasn’t quite worked out, he hasn’t been great. So it could definitely happen, the thing with Thompson is we all know he is greedy so whoever bids the highest will get him.

George Burgess is finished anyway
