Star-studded South Sydney can never have too many playmakers, says Issac Luke, the man who rules the ruck area for the Rabbitohs and has an enviable choice of options. Hooker Luke is one of the games most dangerous dummy-half runners, but has plenty of attacking alternatives. Halves Adam Reynolds and Dylan Walker and lock John Sutton are also creative forces, while superstar fullback Greg Inglis can be hugely influential when he injects himself into the play. GI can ball-play as well, to have that variation around the ruck as well as on the edge is good, Luke said. You never can have too (many playmakers). I know a lot of boys like to get their hands on the ball and even the Burgess boys think they are playmakers as well. Ive got to worry about my job first. Ive got to send it to whoever I think is going to be more effective with it, Ill give it to. New Zealander Luke, who has denied speculation of a move to the Warriors, said a lot of hookers would be loving the increased speed of the game this season. With Sutton moving to the forwards, Reynolds is re-evaluating his role in the team. Its definitely made me think about my role a lot more, Reynolds said. He (Sutton) did take most of the pressure off me last year and having young Dylan Walker (at five-eighth) there has been a breath of fresh air. Im enjoying the test and I think our combination is definitely going to grow. Reynolds has a better idea than most of Walkers capabilities as they both attended Matraville Sports High and he witnessed the development of the younger man. He was always trying to show up all the older boys and show off a fair bit there, so we had a little bit of rivalry at school which is always fun, he said.
