Reilly is a Huddersfield boy. That means he's going to get backed, much more so than Sharp or Thorman. I remember one time very early in his career with us that Reilly dropped a bomb that the opposition scored from and we lost by that score. He was absolutely gutted but the crowd clapped and supported him.
We all saw what happened with Thorman. He bore the brunt.
We always have our favourites and we always have the one we love to dig at. Our homegrown lads and our favourite Aussie. Then the Aussie we snipe at too. Waste of money this, all hype that. Mick De Vere is a classic example of people having a dig at a world class player because they didn't know anything about him and expected him to do things he wasn't here to do. The rabble need their heroes and their hate figures and they always will!
