Ben Hunt may relinquish No.7 for Adam Reynolds, who's returning for Broncos' preliminary final.
Brisbane's finals hero Ben Hunt has offered to give up the No.7 jumper for Adam Reynolds with the champion skipper set to be cleared for the Broncos' preliminary final blockbuster.
This masthead can reveal Reynolds will be fit to play in Brisbane's grand-final qualifier against Penrith or Canterbury at Suncorp Stadium in a fortnight, giving Broncos coach Michael Maguire the ultimate selection conundrum.
Does he recall his premiership captain - or keep faith in 353-game NRL veteran Hunt, who has steered Brisbane to five consecutive wins, including his extra-time field-goal heroics in their epic 29-28 finals defeat of Canberra on Sunday.
Maguire will watch Reynolds and Hunt at training closely over the next fortnight and Broncos legend Gorden Tallis has questioned whether Brisbane need to recall the skipper given the success of the Hunt-Billy Walters alliance.
