When the Brisbane Broncos signed Adam Reynolds back in 2022, they weren’t just getting a halfback — they were getting a leader, a tactician, and a man who could turn pressure into points. Fast forward to 2025, and the 34-year-old veteran is still reminding the NRL world exactly why he’s one of the most valuable players in the game.
Last night’s clash at Suncorp Stadium was more than just another regular-season fixture — it was a statement. The Broncos were locked in a tense battle, momentum swinging like a pendulum, when Reynolds stepped up. With the clock winding down and the game in the balance, he produced that moment.
A Captain’s Touch
Under immense defensive pressure, Reynolds executed a perfectly weighted grubber kick into the in-goal, threading it between defenders like a needle through cloth. Teammate Selwyn Cobbo was right there to pounce, scoring what would be the match-winning try. The crowd erupted, the stadium shaking with pure Broncos pride.
This wasn’t just about skill — it was about composure. The kind of composure that only comes from years of big-game experience and an unshakeable belief in your ability.
More Than Just a Player
Reynolds’ influence on the Broncos goes far beyond his on-field heroics. His leadership in the dressing room, his mentoring of younger players, and his game-day decision-making have been instrumental in Brisbane’s resurgence as a genuine premiership contender.
As coach Kevin Walters said after the match:
“That’s why we wanted Adam here. He knows how to win games, and he knows how to lift a team when it matters most.”
The Road Ahead
With the Broncos pushing hard for the 2025 finals, the form of Adam Reynolds will be crucial. If he continues to deliver moments like last night, Brisbane fans could be celebrating more than just a great season — they could be celebrating a premiership.
For now, one thing is certain: Adam Reynolds is still the King of the Broncos. And he’s not ready to give up the crown anytime soon.
