Worst overseas signing we've had...... Wow

Could name another 20 easy

For me Frank Pritchard our worst value for money signing played well against rovers in pre season and that was it was unfit and was a shadow of the player in the nrl year before

Reynolds will be on at least double the amount those 3 were on combined.

Pritchards contract was heavily subsidised by Canterbury which is why we got rid of him after that stopped so to say he is worse than Reynolds in value for money terms is a stretch.

French would of a big upgrade on Connor

Weird how I got hammered but people now see Connor flaws

Apart from passing a ball he's got nothing on French

And will be huge flop in the nrl back in a year 100%

Quote me dave Chris etc

Weird that some NRL coaches don't see that, surprised they didn't ask for your opinion.

Well the one with the widest eyes has just been sacked.

The same nrl coaches who thought Michael worrincy was a nrl player

The same nrl coaches who thought Richard Horne and Blake Austin would be good wingers

There's a lot of gash players in the nrl and also a lot of gash coaches

Not everyone in nrl is a world beater

Pritchard was bang average though he should of been our best player

Yet struggled to get a bench spot at times

When I watch the challenge Cup final 16 back it was alarming how much he was carried in that final

Do you ever read posts, completely? What part of “and we’ve had some crap” don’t you understand? I could reel players off that have been crap but I genuinely believe that Reynolds is the worst overseas signing we’ve made in Super League, he’s missed too many games through injury and suspension, then when he has played, he’s been crap, apart from the early games last season, then was injured and been playing catch up ever since.

You included the crap in the sentence so basically saying Reynolds is worse when he clearly isn't

Yes he should of been better but he's not horrendous

Think problem is people expected him to be Jason Smith or Peter sterling

Like you expect Connor to be prime Billy Slater?

It's not a lot to expect a highly paid ex SOO stand off to influence a game from time to time.

He's got 1 try assist this season which he was lucky to get. It was the bomb that Welsby let bounce and Griffin picked up to score. In round 2

Convinced you don't watch games now, he has been absolutely shocking terrible defence and offers very little with ball in hand.

One assist, yes one assist all season for a halfback.

Worst defensive stats in SL

Terrible discipline too.

Easily our worst value for money import since we have been in SL.

The fact you spend all your time on here having a go at Connor but defend Reynolds, tells me all I need to know.

Get your CV in for the West Tigers job, first signing could be Josh Reynolds.

I wonder if Connors injuries would put a few teams off.

On another note, if Mitch, Scott and Wynne do well at centre, I would mind Carlos in the backrow, strong runner and good defender, think he would do a good job there.
