Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2546754, member: 1899"] But certain risks are worth taking, what do we gain from signing Reed for four years? Without knowing the particulars, it's hard to really suggest an alternative, I think a two year deal would have been optimal but I don't what kind of ramifications such a change would have had. Don't get me wrong, it isn't the end of the world or anything at that, but it is one of those things that can add up, especially when we're already taking risks on players like Kennedy, Hodges, Yow Yeh (and possibly) Milford. Complacent probably fits him best, although there have definitely been times where he's been among our worst on the field. Aside from not being the most talented or athletic centre going, the problem with Reed is that he doesn't pull off the little things that are absolutely vital for him to keep his spot. For instance, his positioning and timing of runs can be dreadful, especially in the opposition 20 and he's become something of a ball hog which he really can't afford to be, especially moving forward. And that's the key here, moving forward. I've appreciated everything Reed has brought the club and has done a solid job of being more than just a one year wonder, I just don't know how much longer he has to keep it going. [/QUOTE]
