The Brisbane Broncos have made a game-changing decision by bringing back Adam Reynolds earlier than expected from his lengthy injury spell.
Reynolds, who has been sidelined for months after a bicep injury, was initially slated to make his comeback in either Round 22 or Round 23.
Despite initially being listed as a reserve for this weekend's showdown against the Newcastle Knights, rumors swirled that Reynolds was still a few weeks away from returning.
However, as the week unfolded, it became apparent that the star player was edging closer to a comeback.
In a bold move, the Broncos confirmed on Friday morning that Reynolds had been given the green light to play after passing all necessary tests at the captain's run.
With the Broncos aiming to bounce back from a recent defeat to the St George Illawarra Dragons, Reynolds' return couldn't come at a better time.
The team is in dire need of victories in the remaining rounds of the season in order to secure a spot in the finals.
This unexpected turn of events has injected new life and optimism into the Broncos camp, as they gear up to face the Knights with their talismanic player back in action sooner than anticipated.
This move could be the spark that ignites a late-season surge for the Broncos, propelling them towards a potential playoff berth.
