The Brisbane Broncos are facing a crucial decision as they look towards life after Adam Reynolds, with recruitment now being considered as a priority over promoting players from within the club.
Reynolds, the experienced halfback and team captain, is set to be out of contract at the end of 2025 and retirement seems to be looming as he battles ongoing injuries.
The 35-year-old is expected to hang up his boots after the next season, with rumors swirling that he may transition into a coaching role under Kevin Walters.
While Jock Madden has long been seen as the natural successor to Reynolds in the number seven jersey, there are also discussions about Ezra Mam potentially stepping up as the new halfback.
This could see Reece Walsh shifting to five-eighth and Selwyn Cobbo taking over the fullback position.
Additionally, Coby Black is making waves in the junior ranks and is seen as a rising star within the club, along with promising dummy half Blake Mozer.
The Broncos are aware of the importance of planning for the future and ensuring a smooth transition post-Reynolds era.
With a potential golden age of talent on the horizon, the club is considering all options to maintain their competitiveness in the tough world of Rugby League.
