Broncos Confirm Adam Reynolds as Goal Kicker for 2025 NRL Grand Final

Adam Reynolds, despite battling hamstring issues, has been confirmed by Brisbane coach Michael Maguire to kick goals in the 2025 NRL Grand Final against Melbourne, giving him a chance at redemption after past grand final misses. Reynolds notably secured a crucial sideline conversion in the preliminary final win over Penrith, ending their premiership streak and demonstrating his composure under pressure, which had been questioned due to earlier missed opportunities in 2021 and 2023 finals. Maguire, who won a premiership with Reynolds in 2014, expressed confidence in the veteran's ability to perform on big stages and said he would not alter the team’s spine structure, with five-eighth Ezra Mam coming off the bench. Mam, who missed the first 10 weeks of the season due to suspension and faced public criticism, has shown growth and resilience, earning praise from Maguire for his efforts this season. The coach emphasized that game-day decisions would be influenced by the players’ condition and feel of the match rather than pre-planned changes. This strategic stability and faith in experienced players like Reynolds highlight Brisbane's approach as they prepare to challenge Melbourne in the final.
