Broncos captain Adam Reynolds suits up for his 300th NRL game this week and has reflected on the “roller coaster” ride his career has taken him on so far.

Debuting in Round 1, 2012 with Souths Sydney under his current coach Michael Maguire, ‘Reyno’ has endured the ups-and-downs of the game, including winning a premiership.

Right now, he is in the midst of one of the rough patches that comes in a career of such longevity, with the club looking to lift their way out of a form slump when they host the Titans this week.

“I love turning up to work, I love trying to fight out of any situation that we are in, whether it's good or bad, I think there's some beauty in it all," Reynolds said.

“Rugby league is a roller coaster and you have to make the most of each and every day. I think there's no point dwelling on the negatives, it's all positive in my mindset, how do I turn this around and how do I fight out of it.

“I still love the game. I still enjoy turning up to training and working hard with my teammates and going over video with my coaches.

“The same passion I had as a 21-year-old I've still got today as a 34-year-old. Nothing has changed. I still have the burning desire to go out and compete and win.

“I love the competition with my teammates and coaches, the club has been fantastic.

“As a club, we are working extremely hard to do that together, we are staying united and no doubt we will change the momentum.

“As a kid, all you do is dream of playing one NRL game and I was lucky enough to play in some incredible teams and have some incredible coaches and two great clubs.

“I am honoured to have represented both clubs and there's a lot of people to thank in the background, family, friends, coaches, organisations, junior reps all those sort of things, it's been a long journey, but I'm fortunate enough to live the dream that I love.”

A Reynolds masterclass

This week, the Broncos will be boosted by the inclusion of Reece Walsh, with the star fullback to be called on to provide some spark after the side went down to the Sea Eagles last week in a listless performance which had some pundits accusing the side of ‘giving up’.

Playing this week in their special all black jerseys to promote mental health awareness, centre Kotoni Staggs said there was plenty of motivation for the side to turn their recent fortunes, where they have lost their past four matches, around.

“He’s a legend of the game, and 300 is a big milestone - not many people get it,” Staggs said of Reynolds.

“For him, we want to make sure we get the win and for his family as well for what he’s done for us guys here.

"He’s a big part of this club, and he’s helped me with my footy game and grown my game as well. I want to do everything I can come Saturday to get the win for him. 

“(Last week), we didn’t give up, I don’t know what you see different.

“I don’t think we give up, there were times in the game we could’ve been much better, yes, but there’s no giving up. 

“The coaches give us a game plan, we’ve just got to stick to it. There’s some things on the field where there’s some miscommunication, we might have a call and end up falling into something different that we’ve been training for.

“We love Madge (coach Michael Maguire) here, he’s done a great job, he’s come into this team and changed the club and changed the way we want to be on and off the field.

“But at the end of the day, it’s us players - we’ve got to stick together, have a good week this week and get around for Reyno’s 300th.”
