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.”

Any update on the injury yet? Surely the club has sent him to see our club doctors to see if its serious
 
He's on annual leave up at Daydream Island so I'm sure he'll be scanned when he's back
 
I don’t want to come across like I don’t think he deserves a holiday but suuuuuurely you get a self initiated fucking quick scan to make sure it’s nothing sinister.

Maybe he has done but there’s just no report on it.
Why? It wont magically be better or worse in a week. And given he's up at DD Island and on jetskis, I'd say its not too bad.

Could be worse than he thinks etc.. he’s got a pretty big year next year, not just for us but for his legacy as well. Would want to give myself the maximum time possible.

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.

Yeh, I’m with you.

But another way to look at it; if I had a bung shoulder, I’d want it looked at ASAP, even just to know what I should avoid doing on my holiday.

Footy aside, doing mad tricks on a jet ski and FUBARing his already compromised shoulder could affect him for the rest of his life.
 
We should probably relax. Reynolds is said to be very professional with his body and fitness. I doubt he would be riding jetskis and kicking back at a resort if his shoulder was bad.

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.

Yeah, I have snapped the acromio-clavicular (AC) ligament in my shoulder and doc said you can get by without it, and after about 2 weeks I had full movement and full strength by 3-4. Havent had any dislocations or further issues despite not having that ligament anymore.

Well it all depends on the impact. AC joints can be a prick of an injury. Could just be a cortisone injection at supra/bursa to settle it down.

So many variable to these inuries -if there was separation or tendon damage, bursa inflammation or impact, supra/infra/teres muscle strain or mild tears. You know when you've done something serious the pain is horrendous after the fact - visually obvious straight away too.

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.
