In a momentous turn of events for the Brisbane Broncos, their NRL finals aspirations have received a shot in the arm with the shock return of Adam Reynolds set for the clash against the Knights this weekend.
Reynolds, who had been sidelined since Round 9 due to a bicep injury, was not expected back until Round 22.
However, Broncos head coach Kevin Walters dropped the bombshell on Friday that Reynolds was fit and ready to take to the field.
Assistant coach Matt Ballin had initially downplayed Reynolds' inclusion in the reserves as a mere formality to fill up the squad list.
But now, the veteran halfback is primed for a comeback that could provide the Broncos with a much-needed edge in their pursuit of a finals berth.
Accompanying Reynolds in the comeback brigade are State of Origin warriors Reece Walsh, Patrick Carrigan, and Payne Haas, who are all geared up to deliver another stellar performance against the Knights.
Unfortunately, Selwyn Cobbo won't be part of the action, but Walters emphasized the significance of Reynolds' return, noting his experience and confidence on the field.
Describing the impact of Reynolds' presence, Walters expressed his belief in the playmaker's ability to guide and uplift the team, drawing from his valuable insights gained during his time spent in the coaches' box.
The Broncos are gearing up for a fierce battle, with their newfound reinforcements poised to make a significant difference on the pitch.
