Luke Walsh isn't the answer. Doesn't get tackles and hates tackling. And has a pop-gun long kicking game.

Reynolds is a handy little player but the obvious question is whether he can actually ball play and create gaps and linebreaks. Super kicking game though.

I wanted Sam Williams a year ago and I'd still like to have him despite his mediocre form at St George. He was utterly dominant as a junior and showed flashes of that ability in first grade. I don't think any he was brought in to grade very intelligently at the Raiders and then he had Price to contend with at St George/Illa. I reckon that if he was given the opportunity and confidence to lead a team around then there's a good chance he would excell.

Agreed on Williams ab, I wanted him as well. But now he has gun centres playing out side of him like the Pom so it may be hard to get him to come home

 

[slide rule]

Don't know how he's going overseas but he probably wouldn't cost a lot.You could get him in next year and see how he goes. Nothing to lose really as it seems all the other halves are off contract the following year anyway. Worst case, Robbo stays at half, which is what we have now anyway.

 

[ABshark]

Haha.

The Pom's winning personality will probably make it hard for Williams to leave. Certainly made it hard for us to get rid of him.

In all seriousness, Carney's arrival might mean they cant fit in Williams as well.

Sharkyboy's wanted sam williams at the sharks for a while

 

[slide rule]

He can bring pom back.

 

[rahnos]

What about this small half Kodi Nikorima. . Does anyone much about him. He's off contract I believe end of this year. OR perhaps Brisbanes other back up half Strasser, as he is quoted to be DCE like but not off contract."

Killed it in the trials and was talk of him getting the halves spot round 1 but was just pipped by hoffman, havent heard anything of him since tho...

I ****ing hate that little excuse for a halfback. Would rather robbo

 

[Spikeydan]

Anyone know if there's any good half's available in the super league???

 

[greenie1957]

Hears from zero tackle we just signed Brad Tankerangi ( not sure how he spells his name) from titans

 

[stevie013]

i heard the reynolds rumour a few weeks back when a mate of mine who knows reynolds was told that his manager had a meeting at sharks about one of his other clients and they spoke about reynolds as well. dont know what they spoke about though but reynolds is of the opinion he is not wanted at souths anymore.

 

[Bundy Shark]

I would be stoked if we got Reynolds, not fussed at all on Williams.

 

[Loyal Shark]

I feel Reynolds is being pushed out of Souths , his style of play especially his kicking game is quite good something we are lacking at present but his ability around the ruck is limited , with our experience in our forwards especially with Lewis , gallen and Fifita and some players still on the improve in the backs ( Feki and Gagan )and add Ennis into that Equation we have a competitive side again. He would be a positive addition to our team.

Yes I saw the same thing ,got him down as a Centre,5/8 ,Backrower and a utility player. Could be handy though don't know much about him was at The Chooks ,then Titans. has had a few shifts for his age.

Apparantly grew up in the Shire , Does anyone know his form and potential as a player ?.

 

[deano the p]

Not a fan of him at all. Very limited player, may go alright in the backrow in a few years time.
