Former Tiger Josh Reynolds has admitted 'I was a dud buy' when reflecting on his tenure at the club.
The veteran five-eighth struggled with form and injury problems during his three-year stint at Concord from 2018-2020.
Reynolds has now signed a two-year deal with English club Hull FC after his release from the Tigers.
Speaking to Channel 9, Reynolds admitted that he did not justify the lucrative price tag he cost the Tigers.
โTo be fair I was a dud buy for the Tigers because they didnโt get their moneys worth,โ he said.
โThatโs fine, Iโm happy to admit that. But then again I canโt control injury or selection so I donโt know what people want me to do.
โIt puts a dent in your pride.
โSome guys can come and take money and itโs just a job for them, and thatโs fine too. But for me it is hard, because I love what I do and Iโm pretty passionate about it.
โI have lost my love for the game a bit, because Iโm not playing first grade.
โIn the two or three days since Iโve signed this deal I can already feel it coming back again.โ
Reynolds played 159 NRL games since making his first-grade debut in 2011, originally playing for the Canterbury Bulldogs.
In other news, the Tigers are now interested in acquiring Englishman Gareth Widdop - who is seeking a move back to Australia.
