I hope we found a loop hole rather than let a quota go.

Ben Reynolds is English isn't he?? No quota issues.

Yes he's English, born in Ponte.

Am I the only on who wouldn’t be happy with Reynolds?

Championship standard.

Sounds like our kind of player though TBH I don’t know much about him. I remember he stood out for Leigh when we played them last year.

I suspect he’s no world beater but perhaps a steady improver whose best years are yet to come.

Has he got a kicking game as we’ve missed that since Smith left.

Sorry but that has to be one of the silliest statements ever and one that sadly gets repeated relentlessly on here and is nearly always proved wrong - when will folk ever learn.

For a start most of our team had that tag when they arrived. We love players like Ashurst, Lyne, England, Woody, Finn etc etc but that was exactly as they were described on here, even Dream Team Kirmond copped for that.

For Reynolds to get as far as he has he must have some potential else he’d have disappeared long ago. Like most players all he needs is the right club and the right teammates but hey let’s write him off with trite statements about being ‘Championship’ standard.

Danny Brough was a Championship player for a long time as was Finn and they turned out pretty good in the end - like every player we sign it’s a clean slate for me.

His style reminded me a bit of Danny Richardson just not as good. Certainly a handy half to have around in my view.

I don't know much about Reynolds, but if CC thinks he's worth a giving a chance to that's good enough for me. We have a good record of bringing in "unwanted" players.

Not a signing that will put bums on seats but he’s still young and has a decent kicking game. Certainly worth a go as i doubt he’ll cost the earth.

He has got terrible hair though.

Lol I reckon there have been sillier statements? Especially to say Reynolds has spent the majority of his career in the championship, hasn’t been signed by anyone else, if he was SL quality would he not have been snapped up weeks ago during the Leigh crisis?

We must be scraping the barrell if we have started signing players with terrible hair ! Who next Josh Charnley ?

Worked OK for Cas with Luke Gale but then nobody in Was would spot bad hair anyway.

OK.

'Especially to say Reynolds has spent the majority of his career in the championship,'....so?

'hasn’t been signed by anyone else'....so by your logic if he hasn't been signed by anyone else then he can't be any good which effectively means we can't sign a player because if they were any good they would have signed elsewhere, there is no logic in your comment.

'if he was SL quality'...that my friend is the risk you take, even with players who allegedly are SL/NRL quality, you'll have to wait and see.

'would he not have been snapped up weeks ago during the Leigh crisis?'...he was, by us, many weeks ago I suspect.

HTH

No one can say how he'll work out for us as we have no real Super League level base line.
But I look forward to finding out.
