Adam Reynolds has signed a one-year contract extension with Brisbane, much to the delight of inaugural Broncos captain Wally Lewis who says the veteran half is a ‘great communicator’ in the mould of club legend Allan Langer.
The 33-year-old skipper and half, who was off-contract at the end of this season after spending two years at the club, is now on deck until the end of 2025 and Lewis said that kept Brisbane’s premiership window well and truly open.
The news is a welcome boost for Brisbane who were mired by a stoush involving Reynolds and fellow Broncos star Patrick Carrigan earlier this month.
Footage of the two players involved in an aggressive altercation on a night out in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley went viral, with the pair apologising for their roles in the bust-up.
The footage released on social media shows Reynolds involved in a push and shove as a female onlooker screams.
The female can be heard yelling, ‘let go of him… Adam… Pat… stop’.
Another person can be heard repeatedly saying: ‘Reyno’.
It is understood a group of Brisbane players went to the MAYA Mexican restaurant and bar in the lively entertainment district.
Witnesses told News Corp that Carrigan was heavily intoxicated, so Reynolds tried to help him leave and suggested they take a cab home.
But things got heated, and there was a disagreement that spilled outside.
The pair have moved on from the incident and Lewis, one of the game’s greatest leaders, said one integral quality of the Broncos skipper and 2014 title winner with South Sydney stands out.
‘I’ve watched him closely at training and in games where I look and listen for guys who communicate. You can hear Reynolds all the time,’ Lewis said.
