Darren Lockyer makes call on Adam Reynolds' future amid warning about risking Broncos veteran

Brisbane Broncos director Darren Lockyer says the club is in no rush to make a call on Adam Reynolds' NRL future but has warned against risking him in Friday night's home game against the Roosters. The veteran No.7 hobbled off with a hamstring complaint in the second half of Brisbane's round five win over the Tigers, moments after scoring an epic chip-and-chase try.

However, scans cleared Reynolds of any major issues and he was named at No.7 for Michael Maguire's side when the team lists dropped on Tuesday afternoon. But Lockyer believes it would be in the best interests of Brisbane and Reynolds to give the 34-year-old an extra week off to get his body right.

The Broncos are flying in second spot on the ladder after a 4-1 start to the season, with their only defeat so far coming away to Canberra in round two. While Trent Robinson's Roosters are struggling for form after a 1-4 start to 2025 and will be missing rep prop Lindsay Collins, who is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks with a medial ligament injury.
