Reynolds is going to return to the club and pick up where he should never have left off. He'll be in the run-on side Round 1 against the Dolphins. The stadium will be packed out with more Dogs supporters than the 2012 and 2014 Grand Finals combined. As Reynolds runs out in the 7, alongside Burton, every single person in that stadium will be screaming with joy (except Flanno, the benchwarmer). A sea of blue and white flags will bring the stadium to life. Reynolds will stand before thousands of rightfully adoring fans, poised to take the first kick-off of 2023 and his final premiership-winning year and then he'll wake up.
Then upon his awakening from this bewildering yet seemingly real dream, it was his first day back at the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs. Reynolds arrived at 9am sharp for training as requested by the iconic Cameron Ciraldo, filled with eagerness and the passion of the Bulldog gods by his side he tied his boots and started warm-ups...
Flashback to the trenches of the 2014 Grand final he rose like the great Moses Mbye of old faster than ever, stronger than a lion yet calm as an owl.
Days went past and Uncle Vaughen was chucking a farewell barbie with Dufty and Reynolds was invited. He told stories of old and they were enlightened by his power and wanted the glory of the great Josh Reynolds.
24 rounds pass, Reynolds is the dally M favourite and Dufty single handily beats QLD sending Tedesco to the Japanese league.
