Could say at 18 in Flegg he was playing against many kids older than him as he was still eligible for Ball. I have no doubt Reed can handle the step up to Ressies. I believe his skill set is already well developed for someone so young. Most of what he does looks instinctive to me. Defense is what he needs work on as he is gonna have to fell bigger and meaner middles, currently he either just clings on waiting for support or is trampled. I'd tell him to watch old footage of Peter Sterling, with his grass cutters sending big Pommie forwards crashing to the turf.

I'd hoped it was his big brother to reaquaint his Aussie Schoolboy partnership with our own Loko Jr. But the kid brother looks a good alternative.

No way. S'ua has been one of our best. Cant afford to lose a back rower of his calibre.

You hit it on the head when you said" playing against kids older". Believe me in my experience the young rising stars making their ressies debut always has the biggest target on his back especially if he was a play maker. Just based on my experiences.

The big question, money aside, is will K K trust committing himself to a club that has not made the finals for 8 yrs, as given he is now a fully fledged Kangaroo he can pick and choose. Another suitor the Raiders are recent grand finalists and they have recruited astutely. One thing I reckon we have in our favor and may sway him is the sea change lifestyle away from footy we are offering he and his young family. That and financial security all in the one package.

I reckon he had the first stage of his initiation last year and passed with flying colors as our prime game manager. Cant recall him being injured, not seriously anyway, so he also has a tuff body.

Haven’t heard great things about his training ethic.

Totally agree mate, I know everyone is excited and the club has gone above and beyond this time so we cant blame them for anything. Lets just all take a deep breath and think about if he doesn't sign, what is our plan B, do we have one ? We have obviously offered him more money, a longer contract and the ability to mentor our juniors, the only thing we cant offer him is success, he has to realise we want him so he can help achieve that. If he doesn't want to play for the Dragons then he doesn't, hope you enjoyed your free helicopter ride, now f#@k off and let us move on.

I agree wholeheartedly with you Justa. The Club has done quite a lot to try and get KK to sign with the Dragons. At the end of the day us fans would have to accept it if he decides to remain at Souths.

Excuse my ignorance but not sure if I've heard of him. Who does he play for now?
Raiders, he’s only 23, off-contract the same time as KK.
Eels table mammoth four-year deal for Rabbitohs star
A new suitor has emerged for the signature of one of the game’s hottest off-contract forwards.
Roosters in for Keaon

KK is a gun prop. No doubts about that. But at his age, is he worth getting into a bidding war over? If the Dragons offer is 1 mil a year for 5 years, I think they should stick with that. 1 mil a year is fair as far as I can see. Suits the player and the club. Any more and I think it will be better for the player than the club.

They usually factor it in. Like something where salaries raise at the same % of the cap or where players are paid as a % of the cap.

Warriors and now the Rorters also out to land Koloamatangi. Have our chances now plummeted with uncle Nick in the race. In any case I reckon he'll stay loyal to the Rabbits, specially if he is already on good coin. Is Xavier Va'a our plan B or we dont have one.
