It's amazing what a change in scenery has done for Reynolds. It has completely reinvigorated him and has challenged him to take his game to another level, and wow, hasn't he responded well to the challenge.
He has always had all the skills in the world, but given that be has never been a selfish personality, he usually played the percentages at Souths. Often a young, skillful playmaker coming through will opt for the highlight reel plays, but Reynolds only did what the team required. With the all the big money superstars he's played with throughout his career at Souths, he sort of shelved the rest of his attacking game so that those other players could shine.
At Souths, his role was so well defined and it mostly revolved around leading the team around and getting them into the strike zone so that Cook, Latrell, and Walker could lead the attack. Reynolds being the ultimate team man, rarely deviated from this. Each and every game was essentially the same, a solid 7 out of 10. His performance rarely dropped below that, but also rarely went above that. That's what was required of him for the sake of the team, and that's what he would deliver.
But now at the Broncos, finally he is the main man, and it's almost as if the shackles have been removed. For the first time in a long time, he is playing with unrestricted freedom. Game by game he is slowly showcasing every bit of hidden skill he has. The exciting thing is, this is just the beginning for him. He will become the most influential halfback in the game, if he is not so already. He is absolutely relishing being captain and he realises this young team look to him for inspiration. He is delivering more than what anyone had ever imagined.
At this rate, I wouldn't be opposed to him getting a statue at Suncorp Stadium. Brisbane Broncos legend Adam Reynolds.
