‘That will haunt him,’ says Broncos star as GF fadeout

‘That will haunt him,’ says Broncos star as GF fadeout prompts surprise retirement call
With the grand final on the line, a duel of the halfbacks erupted, with Nathan Cleary outperforming his Broncos counterpart Adam Reynolds.

The 33-year-old experienced playmaker signed a three-year contract with the Brisbane club ahead of the 2022 season after the Rabbitohs declined to accept their one-year offer.

Reynolds was a key component in Kevin Walters’ side’s charge to the grand final, but he fell short when his team needed him the most, allowing Penrith to claw back a 16-point deficit.

“What disappointed me was they bought Adam Reynolds, that’s the game, that 20-minute period is what they bought him for, to get them over the line,” said Brent Read of The Daily Telegraph.

“And Adam came up with some plays in the last 20 minutes that completely changed this game, it wasn’t just the dropouts.”Nathan attempted a cross-field punt but let it bounce, and he was also grabbed on the fifth tackle at one point. When you look at the two halfbacks, that is what you see for me.

“One stood up and dragged them over the line.”

“If the Broncos get to the grand final and win, they have justification there and Reynolds has been unbelievable this year,” The NRL360 host Braith Anasta said.
