Old Frightful Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 This is bloody ridiculous. How many aging half backs do West Tigers have? Are we systematically going through the lot?

Man of Kent Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Potentially an excellent signing for Hull. Good to see him in Super League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Evans Thigh Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Lot of negativity but I think that will turn out to be a really good signing. Great competitor and very good player on his day, he'll be hungry as well after a few frustrating years at the Tigers. 31 is a decent enough age as well.

Southerner Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 At least it’s only a one year contract. That’s as positive as I can be with this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastLondonMike Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Surprised by some of the comments, i think Reynolds will do well over here. Good competitor and plenty of ability. Will really compete with Connor for the title of most disliked player in a Hull shirt though. One of those players you just love to hate. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

Not the same player since he left the Bulldogs. Remember him being carried off shoulder high by the fans after his last game at Belmore.

In his younger years yes, not these days. He even played rake a few games this year. He’s not a bad player and he’s a fierce competitor but he’s just a bit of Jack of all trades half.

MZH Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Well I for one am happy with this signing. I think we need to be realistic about the calibre of player we can attract right now, and Reynolds is at the top end of that. A few years ago he was one of the best halves in the NRL. His face didn't really fit at Wests, plus a couple of injuries and off field problems for him to worry about. This is a new start for him and if he can recapture anything close to his Bulldogs form then he will be one of the best in SL. At 31 he should have a couple of good years left in him. You never really know what you are going to get with NRL signings, but Hodgson has worked with him recently and I trust his judgement. Knowing the type of player he is I can't imagine him coming here for a holiday. He gives everything 100%. I think this could potentially be a very good signing. With him and Connor on the park together I think a few people will be getting rubbed up the wrong way next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutralfan7 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Not a bad player by any means but will be interesting to see how he partners Sneyd, both like to control a game and both not a running half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Toppy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Fierce competitor and was a good player about 3-4 years ago but has been absolutely pants since. His body is absolutely knackered and i'd be surprised if he manages to string more than a handful of games together for Hull.

He took the dogs to the finals and signed with the tigers for big money. Cleary left and Maguire didn’t want him. If you play him at 6, he’ll run all day.

Cleary was a different proposition to McGuire. A coaching coach v a prescriptive coach. Both appeal to different players but Reynolds wasn’t one. Before that, at the Dogs, he was an excellent half with a good kicking and organisational game. Hull haven’t had a quality organisational stand off for a few years and I think a change in his life will be good for him imo. He is on a 2 year contract. The first, might be part funded % between WT and Hull (not sure) so the deal could be a good one all round. He just needs to put in, on the pitch now.

Decent player but unlikely to take Hull FC to the next level. New faces. New issues to comment on. It's all grist to the mill. Indeed there should be a special category within the Cap to specify 1 player per club that can create controversy. SKY should appoint a commentator, ditto... and possibly a tailor.

graveyard johnny Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 why would people be moaning about a very experienced nrl stand off coming in to the comp? he may be towards the end of his career but to be written off at 31 is a bit harsh, remember this is a league that has just crowned paul macshane as its best player, give him a chance - beggars cant be choosers see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If however, you're not, then expect to see this post from you quoted next year when we're in the GF at the KCOM when he's awarded the Harry Sunderland Trophy. I can dream can't I?
