Brisbane captain Adam Reynolds is just days away from launching the Broncos into their first decider since the 2015 soap opera against the Cowboys, cementing his name as a Brisbane legend.
The 33-year-old amassed a stellar career during his decade-long span in Redfern, his junior club, not only winning a premiership for the Rabbitohs, but becoming their all-time leading point-scorer in the process.
However an absolute calamity saw the veteran depart South Sydney at the end of 2021 after the club failed to offer their skipper more than a single season extension, leading to a move that reinvigorated Reynolds' career - and his love for it.
“It has put me in love with the game again. You can go through the motions when you've been in one place for some many years,” Reynolds told Fox Sports.
“Not saying I didn't enjoy my time, I loved my time there (at South Sydney), but you put yourself around new faces, new people, new outlook on life. It's obviously matured me a bit more than I needed.
“I've loved the role I've played here, it's a pleasure to be where I am, I never thought I'd be up playing for the Broncos in a prelim final.
