NEWS A quick chat with Adam Reynolds

Adam Reynolds can barely wait to escape the slums of South Sydney and walk tall in Brisbane:

“I just wanted a new challenge for myself and my family. The Broncos deserve to be back at the top. It is a powerhouse club. They have a great supporter base and are a proud club with a lot of history. A lot of hard work and sacrifice has to go in to get there first. It is such a proud club that has been starved of finals footy for a couple of years.”

“I had some chats with Wayne and I leant on him for a bit of advice. He just said to be happy with whatever decision you go with. He had nothing but good things to say about the Broncos, which probably made my decision easier. It was a big decision at the time and having him in my corner is something I am grateful for."

“I just see joining the Broncos as a new challenge. If I had stayed in Sydney, it probably would have been the same stuff day-in and day-out and hanging with the same group of mates. On the field I am going to be excited about working with a new team and trying to take them from one place to another. On the other side of things it is good for the family to get out of our comfort zone and experience another side of life in Brisbane. It is a new challenge and I am looking forward to it.”

Now let's take a look at that bunny

“Payne Haas is the future of the game. He is one of the factors why I did sign at the club and it will be good to play alongside him in the future.”

“I will have a chat to ‘Kevvie’ about the captaincy when I get to the Broncos. I am purely focused on trying to do a job at Souths first and then whatever happens, happens. There are a lot of great young players that could fill that role and it depends which way Kevvie wants to go.”

“I am extremely driven. I think Wayne and I have got a great relationship. I love spending time with people with a lot of knowledge and Wayne has got a lot of knowledge. He has got a great personality. We have worked extremely hard at Souths on perfecting things. I want to win the premiership every year. It’s hard to do. There is a bit of luck and a lot of hard work that goes into it all. But there are no excuses for us. We have put ourselves in a great position to do it and it is about us making the most of our opportunities now."

"The club is in great hands. Souths have some fantastic kids coming through. All I wanted to do coming into first grade was to leave the jersey in a better place and I’d like to think I’ve done that. I think they should carry on that trend. If they can take that No.7 jersey and leave Souths in a better place, then my job is done.”

Wayne Bennett insists Adam's no injury magnet:

“It’s rubbish. Adam is not on modified training at Souths, it’s a bloody furphy. He doesn’t have hamstring problems, or issues with his back, knees or achilles. I’m his coach so I know Adam better than most. Injuries are a part of the game but he is no more injury-prone than anyone else. I don’t see why Adam can’t play on for several years. He will fit in fine at the Broncos. He is not a big mouth. He doesn’t talk a lot of rubbish. He is the ultimate professional, he will be perfect for the Broncos, no doubt about that.”

He did. @nrl_phsyio confirmed he had an MRI before he went. Minor issue only and he will be right to go when he turns up at the club in mid-December.
When did he say it was a minor issue? Nothing on his twitter feed. Only this:

 
I could be wrong but I would imagine the club a player is leaving from would have a duty of care to the player even if he was leaving to get him checked out if he was injured in a game for them? So I’d assume he’d know if it were serious or not. Insert argument about Sharks and Bird here.

beat me to it ...

but i think that this situation proves that, at least in the world of the NRL, you are in fact wrong
 
I think AC injuries are usually pretty minor as well.

Croft picked up an AC injury in that game against the bunnies before covid lockdown last year and it was indicated that it was a 1-2 week injury.

Apparently when they get one their shoulder basically becomes useless (cant lift their arm), but then it just suddenly comes good and it's like nothing happened to it.

I think Cleary's shoulder injury this year was AC related as well???

I dont recall when it happened to Reynolds in the GF, but he also didnt leave the field... if your arm becomes useless during the game then he would've been subbed off, so it would seem like it might be on the minor side.
I've had an AC injury and that'd about right. Took longer than 2 weeks but that's because I had a 'she'll be right' attitude.

I never said the NrL physio did say it was a minor injury, only that he confirmed an MRI was done. The Broncs through Dobbo confirmed there was no major injury and he’ll be right to start pre-season when he comes back from holiday mid-December.
 
Must be false.

NRL have informed me that storm are the most supported so they must have near 1m followers on Insta 🤔🤔🤔
That isn't fair though... most storm "fans" couldn't find the teams instagram account bcos they searched "Melbourne lightning" by accident. Easy mistake for a dedicated 2 game a decade Lygon street rugby football fanatic.

HEY! You leave Lygon Street out of this, they have fantastic restaurants there. Everything else is good to go.
 
How dare you!

The (self appointed) sporting capital of Australia has the (self appointed) best coffee in Australia.

It’s indisputable fact. If you don’t believe me, ask someone from Melbourne. Or better yet, wait long enough and they’ll tell you.

I'm not saying I didn't have good coffee the last time I was down there. it just wasn't on Lygon street.

in fact, the best coffee I ever had was down there ... this coffee was so good it still haunts my dreams all these years later.

forgive me if I get these locations wrong, it was a quite a while ago and my Victorian geographical knowledge sucks ... but anyway my brother and I took the barge from Geelong (or maybe it left from Ocean Grove) across the Mornington Peninsula (i think it was). once we were off the barge, we stopped for a coffee at a small coffee shop not far away ... and it was fucking good coffee :drool:
 
Melbourne does have great coffee everywhere.
 
Right on queue 🤣

What is wrong with stating a fact? I also didn’t say it had the best in the world or better than Brisbane or anything like that. It’s almost like if you say something positive about Melbourne you must be a brainwashed local.

Brisbane also has great coffee.

Melbourne is so third wave, and so ten years ago.

Singapore has the best kopi. And the best toast. FACT
