Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3261964, member: 9853"] [I][B]Wayne Bennett [/B]on [B]Reynolds,[/B] starting with his advice on whether to join Brisbane:[/I] “It was favourable. The Broncos have been a great club and it is a great city Brisbane. He has got a young family and he will enjoy his time here and the Broncos have got a wonderful player coming here. It is what he brings off the field as well he is a really special bloke. South Sydney will be sorry to lose him and we all are, but that’s the way it worked out." “It wasn’t his fault or the club’s fault it is just the situation we find ourselves in with the salary cap. But he has made a good choice I know he is happy with it and he will make a difference.” “It doesn’t matter who we let go we would have copped it. It is a business and unfortunately that’s what it is. He had to look after his future and the club had to look after what they saw as their best interests going forward." “It is not like there wasn’t an offer on the table there for him it was just that it wasn’t the amount he could get somewhere else and the time he could get with a guaranteed three years. He has to look after himself and he has a young family and he’s got to do what’s right by them.” “No there is no truth to that (Reynold's departure being linked to Cody Walker's future). That has nothing to do with it at all. Cody is not off contract until 2022 so we won’t start going through that process until this time next year and they will know where they are with the salary cap and what they can offer and what they can’t offer. But that had no truth whatsoever.” “I like his calmness and his fun. He is not as bad as Alf or as big a pest as Alf, but he is not far off. He can be a bit of a pest." “He has got a great sense of humour and a really balanced guy. I take captaincy of a club extremely seriously and I had a couple of guys there that could do the job, but I wanted him to do the job. I just thought he had all those attributes that makes good captains and great teammates." “That’s why he will fit in at Brisbane because he brings those qualities and that’s what they will get the most benefit out of. He is not going to score 80 metre tries because that is not what he does, but he is going to help other guys score 80 metre tries and that’s what they lack right now.” “Alf has never been replaced. Kevin did a great job there in 2000. Kevin was a wonderful halfback in his own right." “Since that time there have been a lot of young men to play halfback at the Broncos and it has been a little bit of an Achilles heel for the Broncos for a long time. Ben Hunt did a good job there as well, but it has just been a tough area halves and five-eighths.” McHunt [/QUOTE]
