Reynolds’ woes banished: Four things learnt from the Broncos’ derby triumph

Adam Reynolds has signalled he is free of the knee injury that has plagued the start of the 2024 campaign, orchestrating a 38-12 Broncos’ boilover of the previously undefeated Cowboys.

After Broncos hooker Billy Walters did it all himself from dummy-half to open the scoring, it was a trademark towering Reynolds kick that forced poor judgement from Scott Drinkwater - who will be having many a Reynolds-themed nightmare with five errors. Saving his best for last, his deft short kick in the dying stages sent the stadium into raptures, as returning fan favourite Corey Oates dove on the loose ball to score his first try since 2022.Reynolds finished with a remarkable 629 kicking metres to go with three try assists, seven goals and a forced drop-out, with the pressure he built laying the foundation for Tyson Smoothy’s try slicing out of dummy-half, and Ezra Mam’s grubber for himself to score.

Pat Carrigan was, as is custom, fearless and relentless, running for 170m and making 37 tackles, but he needed his teammates to come to the part – particularly off the ball.Credit:That they did, forcing several mistakes from their opposite numbers, while Jordan Riki’s kickchase gave Taulagi plenty of cause for concern.

As Broncos centre Selywn Cobbo latched onto an intercept on his own line, he appeared destined to score for all money and give his side what could have been a 14-point lead.Sprinting from the other side of the field, the former Bronco and one-time Maroon dove and tackled Cobbo into touch just as he was about to ground the ball – a moment reminiscent of Daly Cherry-Evans’ exploits on Stephen Crichton in State of Origin Game II last year.

While Queensland five-eighth Cameron Munster has begun training with the Melbourne Storm from a groin injury, hopeful of lining up against the Broncos next week, the full extent of the setback still remains a mystery.
