The decision to extend Broncos halfback Adam Reynolds has been called into question after the champion halfback faltered late in the grand final.
Reynolds’ performance late in the match came under criticism at the time and now veteran journalist Phil ‘Buzz’ Rothfield has questioned the decision to re-sign him.
Reynolds has penned a one-year deal on significantly less than his current $750,000 per season in a move that will keep him at the club until the end of 2025.
The 33-year-old joined Brisbane on a three-year deal ahead of the 2022 season after South Sydney refused to offer the ageing playmaker more than a one-year deal.
But he proved the Rabbitohs wrong by captaining the Broncos – who collected the wooden spoon in 2020 – to the grand final last year.
Brisbane were ahead 24-8 with 17 minutes left in the decider before a Nathan Cleary masterclass saw the Panthers clinch their threepeat with a 26-24 victory.
