Quote: Thetalentboy "No offence to Reynolds but our fans are getting excited over him and he's only a 4 cap origin goer
Compared to inglis who's one of the best and a true world class superstar(I think our fans would of had white stuff if we signed him! )
Reynolds hasn't played much last 2 years either but doesn't stop our fans from thinking he's one of the best
Hope Reynolds is better than Kelly was for us but I'm not convinced he will be'"
I think Josh Reynolds is a very good fit for us at the moment, he will probably spark that inventiveness which has been somewhat lacking in the past, especially twenty or so yards out.
Admittedly it was only against York, but he was up and down the line like Greg Mackey or Patrick Entat, good times predicted with the Sneyd/Connor/Reynolds combination.
You say Reynolds is only a four cap origin goer, we’ve come along way if that accolade isn’t good enough.
Undoubtedly the great Inglis is a mega superstar, but he has done it all, and his reasons for not playing the last two seasons may be about desire, I think Reynolds still has something to prove, and hopefully he will do that with us.
Regarding Albert and the similar comparison, I think we probably released him at the right time, he was fantastic when fit, a gifted maverick who was individually brilliant, perhaps what we now need rather than ex superstars like Inglis, or injury prone greats like Albert, is a guy like Reynolds, still hungry for the game.
