Reynolds stars as Broncos stun Rabbitohs to notch big win
Reynolds #Reynolds
Adam Reynolds has come back to haunt his old side, scoring a try and setting up two more as the Broncos cruised to stun the Rabbitohs 32-12 at Accor Stadium on Thursday night.
After missing the round one encounter between both clubs in the season opener, Reynolds made up for lost time against the side he played 231 games for as a Rabbitohs junior across a decade at Redfern.
The former Rabbitohs captain looked in control from the early stages of the Broncos’ victory, racking up 16 of the side’s 32 points in a happy homecoming in front of his old faithful.
It was an overall unhappy night for the home side, who couldn’t really get out of second gear despite a double to Rabbitohs winger Taane Milne.

Milne gets his second
Play of the game
It wasn’t necessarily a match-winner and there isn’t any bad blood between Adam Reynolds and the Rabbitohs over his exit, but his support play to get the Broncos’ second of the night set the tone and you just got the feeling it was the 31-year-old’s game to control from there.

What they said
“It was obviously disappointing not being there round 1 but the boys got off to a good start and it’s pleasing we’ve been able to carry that form for the last few weeks… it’s a bit of mixed feelings, I’ve still got some great relationships. It’s all over and done with now. I’ll pop in and have a beer with the boys.” – Broncos captain Adam Reynolds.
