When Brisbane halfback Adam Reynolds crossed for a try against Gold Coast midway through the second half on Saturday night, he not only helped the Broncos to an important win; but joined a select group of players who have scored 2000 career points.

Since making his debut for South Sydney in 2012, Reynolds has topped 200 points for the season on seven occasions. Just once, in an injury riddled 2016, Reynolds missed getting 100.

Of the eight players who have managed 2000 career points, Reynolds has scored the least tries (43). His consistency in goal kicking saw him go past Eric Simms as South Sydney’s greatest ever point scorer before he left the club after the 2021 Grand Final.

While the accolades of joining such a select group of players are welcome, Reynolds could end being the buy of the season for Brisbane. His experience and leadership have helped the Broncos become a genuine top four contender, while South Sydney are clinging to their place in the top eight. It could turn out to be the worst recruitment decision the Bunnies made since Ron Coote walked into Bondi. Meanwhile, the points keep ticking over for Reynolds as he makes his way up that all-time list.
