The 2022 Premiership captain getting heaps of praise.
Matty Johns on Reynolds
“Adam Reynolds would have taken a lot of satisfaction out of that tonight,” Johns said.
“Geez he is playing good football. Two try assists, one try.
“I reckon the last 18 months he is playing different. He had the reputation of being a steady halfback.
“But we have seen the last 18 months him playing with a lot more imagination and his playmaking is top drawer.
“No matter what he would have gone on to do at South Sydney, he wouldn’t have made his legacy any better.
“No one will forget what he did at Souths, but now he is building a new legacy at the Broncos.”
“What you see a lot of times with struggling sides and we saw it with Brisbane last year, they have good stretches and they were good in patches and then something would go wrong and they just couldn’t hit the breaks,” Johns said.
“They couldn’t stabilise the result, but when you have got a bloke who can steer the side around the park and control the tempo of the game with his kicking, you can go through flat spots in the game or periods when you haven’t got a lot of football and just not bleed points.”
Gordon Tallis on Reynolds
“He was outstanding at Souths and the fingerprints that he left at that club will last forever, but he has gone to Brisbane and I think it was the challenge that he needed,” Tallis said.
“He has a really young naturally and super talented side that needed a bit of direction.
“I think that was the challenge that he needed at this point of his career.
“You don’t like seeing a guy going through a contract dispute and not playing at the club that he loves, but Brisbane are really loving him there at the moment.
“He was outstanding tonight. His kicking game was first class and he’s given them direction.”
Bryan Fletcher on Reynolds
“The fact that he was at Souths and he had a lot of senior players around him,” Fletcher said.
“He is up here now with all of these young kids. His leadership has been great.
“He is a terrific player, but I think his leadership skills have gone up another level.”
