Rabbitohs skipper Adam Reynolds has launched an audacious bid to secure a $2.8 million four-year deal with the Broncos that would take him through to the end of 2025.
The Sharks were considered the favourites to land the 31-year-old on a three-year deal worth a reported $2.4 million, but the mooted Broncos deal would be for $700,000 a season and provide Reynolds with the security of an extra year.
The Rabbitohs have offered their captain a one-year extension worth $800,000 with an option in the club’s favour for 2023.
However Reynolds is convinced that he can play into his mid-30s and is intent on securing a long-term deal to set up his families’ future.
Broncos coach Kevin Walters and CEO Dave Donaghy flew to Sydney last Sunday for talks with Reynolds, who revealed his requests, which included the possibility of a four-year contract.
The Sharks are keen on Reynolds, but are not prepared at this stage to take the risk of agreeing to a four-year contract with the halfback who will turn 31 in July.
Walters has been vocal of his club’s desire to secure a marquee playmaker after the club let young gun Tom Dearden sign with rivals the Cowboys on a three-year deal.
The Broncos were reportedly keen on Eels playmaker Mitchell Moses, but he looks set to ink a multi-year extension to stay with Parramatta.
Sharks five-eighth Shaun Johnson has also been linked with the Broncos, although he appears to be down the pecking order if Brisbane can’t lure Reynolds north.
The Broncos’ meeting with Reynolds was reportedly very positive, with the veteran halfback open to moving interstate for the right deal.
The Broncos are not sold on Brodie Croft, who is languishing in reserve grade, despite being contracted for 2022, while Anthony Milford is also unlikely to be re-signed after being dropped last month.
Reynolds was clearly missed by the Rabbitohs, who capitulated 50-0 to the Storm in Round 9 while their captain is out with an injured thumb.
However the Rabbitohs are holding firm, which leaves the race for Reynolds’ services down to the Broncos and the Sharks, with Brisbane the clear favourites if they grant him his wish of a four-year contract.
Reynolds has scored 36 tries and 1,724 points in 214 games for the Rabbitohs since his debut in 2012 and won a premiership with the club in 2014 and also represented NSW in two games in 2016.
