I'd be happy with that signing. He's a cracking player from what I've seen. Ok he hasn't played much first grade in last few seasons, but you have benji Marshall playing the same position.
Also, we have signed players who have played less eg- carlos, bureta, ligi and satae.
Hodgson will know him, how he plays and what he will bring, (abit more shithousery like the snake) 2 years with option of a third? Yeah, will definitely do for me.
Think the size of the deal with Wests has been the biggest problem with his time there. Had injuries, but presume BH has coached him, so will know just what he’s capable of. Fresh start could be just what he needs. Won’t get much better to come to Super League. Hastings won Man of Steel and Reynolds is a far better player and leader.

Was signed by Cleary at wests, then he left. If he can get his Bulldogs form back, WOW

Interesting reading the West fans forum, they are pleased he is leaving because it hasnt worked out for him there, bitsy he will do really well in superleague, saying he is better than Hasting and Austin.
This doesn't mean he will do better than them, but it's good reading.
I know nothing about him, never seen him in action but from that photo he looks a bit chunky for a running half.

Not chunky at all, a bit barrel chested but, quality player, vocal and full of passion, bit to much sometimes, but most of us fans forgive that when you see a player giving 100 %, thought it for a long time he could be the one, very happy

We needed an experienced half and one that can lead & direct the team. Josh Reynolds certainly seems to tick those boxes and has the talent to be a real threat in attack for us and a big hit in SL. Think it’s also a big help that our new Coach will not only know Josh Reynolds from his time at West’s but also knows SL. Also let’s not forget Ivan Cleary signed Reynolds at West’s, he’s no mug as a coach unfortunately he then left, Macquire came in preferred other options as happens. Think it’s a pretty impressive signing and a show of intent by AP and BH.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
