Reynolds or DCE

[mightyrooster]

Neither.

DCE is going to the Dolphins. There’s been plenty of news about Isaaya Katoa in the news lately. Even on Matty Johns last night they singled out his form and not regarding DCE, which to me was being somewhat sympathetic to what will soon be announced.

Lol, snap. I just wrote about Katoa.

DCE, but prefer neither. Weedler made an interesting comment in his rag column yesterday about what would happen to Katoa if DCE went to the Dolphins. Apparently there are rumours he may be looking to return to Sydney. He’s young, but promising and has been getting a fair bit of NRL experience now.

If so I ’d expect the Dollies to keep Katoa but if he does leave I doubt he’d join the Chooks

A dumb question really.

A dumb question really.

Dumb comment to not elaborate on why it's a dumb question.

Reynolds purely to get the reaction of Souffs fans.

But no, DCE for me. Both great players but “A-Rey” gets injured far too often and we don’t need two small halves. Wouldn’t gel with Sam as much as DCE would either imo.

Get what your saying but 2 small halves in Cronk & Keary went alright in 18 &19

This small halves thing...i dont really buy it that people mention.

cronk was short , but built like a tank .

dce all day, Reynolds to injury prone, best ability is availability.

Reynolds is made of paper mache these days. Also think DCE is the overall better player, so pretty easy choice for me.

Would love to get Katoa though, but I guess that would guarantee we lose most of our young promising halves.

Ponga thanks.

Reynolds will go back to Souffs now that Bennett is coaching again.

Cronk is built like a mini brick shite house.

Keary is a Wee Man.

Losing a promising half is no big deal if you pick up a gun young half. There is absolutely no guarantees that any of our young halves will make it in the NRL.

Cronk is an exception to the rule in the sense that he’s one of the best halfbacks to ever play the game and also because he was quite muscular and an excellent defender. Bloke was solid, 90kg.

What about this ! Sign them both , I am sure our shrewd recruitment team would looking at this option .

DCE has just turned 36 and Adam Reynolds is about to turn 35, not a 4 year age gap there.

DCE is the answer, Australian national team, QLD Origin team and captaincy, has won a comp, widely considered one of the superstar halves of the game. Even the behind the scenes stuff that clubs look at such as marketing, media etc are all things that DCE has over Reynolds.

I think DCE is a done deal but personally I think we should be looking for someone younger.

Unless a contract is broken there are no great young halves available except Toby Sexton but even then there is a significant difference between him and DCE. If we don't take DCE this season then no real star halves are available to play for us until round 1 2027.

Neither, happy to ride out the wave.

For how long? Salvo says the same thing but we've spent 5 years underperforming, should we spend another 5 trying to find the perfect halves partner for Sam?

Neither.

DCE is going to the Dolphins. There’s been plenty of news about Isaaya Katoa in the news lately. Even on Matty Johns last night they singled out his form and not regarding DCE, which to me was being somewhat sympathetic to what will soon be announced.

The media has reported that he'd like to remain in Sydney as his family is settled on the northern beaches, that he would like to win a comp and have speculated that he'd be looking for a club that could help him in retirement.

All of that screams that he's coming to the Roosters. Northern beaches are a 30 minute drive away, Tedesco, Walker, DCE and Robson is a premiership winning spine and the Roosters are known for helping players post retirement.

If Chad Townsend is Temu does this mean we've upgraded to shopping at Salvo's now?
