Dave Donaghy said:
“We know Adam’s going to be in demand with a lot of commitments once he retires,” Donaghy said.
“But we want to keep him at the Broncos and we’ll work through that with him.
“There aren’t too many halfbacks who have won premierships for the Broncos.
“He’s got a lot of football smarts, so we’d love to find a way to keep him involved at the club and keep imparting his wisdom to the next generation of Broncos.”
Adam Reynolds said
“It’s an exciting opportunity,”
“I love the game of rugby league and I love trying to break teams down and help young players understand the game a bit better, while allowing them to use their natural abilities as well.
“I know I’m not getting any younger, but I have the knowledge to help young playmakers along and progress their careers which is something I am passionate about and excited about for the future.”
“I’ve had a few great coaches in my career,”
“I’ve learned how they have approached the game.
“If I can take bits and pieces out of each and every one of them, I’ve learnt a hell of a lot in terms of works and doesn’t work.
“You can use that to your ability, a bit like Kieran Foran right now.
“Kieran has experienced that side of things himself and he has transitioned well as an NRL coach.
“He gives someone like me, who is aspiring to be a coach one day, a bit of hope.”
