Exclusive: The Brisbane Broncos captain has opened up on previous rumours linking him with Super League.\"Hull<\/p>\n

Hull KR coach Willie Peters talks with Brisbane Broncos captain Adam Reynolds at the World Club Challenge media launch.<\/p>\n

Super League supporters were left dreaming to see Adam Reynolds in the competition after last year\u2019s transfer links – but the veteran half-back has now revealed that family came first.<\/p>\n

Reynolds shares a strong bond with Rovers head coach Willie Peters, having watched the former playmaker star for South Sydney Rabbitohs before working with him as player and coach at the NRL heavyweight club.<\/p>\n

At 35, Reynolds is one of the game\u2019s most decorated half-backs: two-time premiership winner, more than 300 NRL appearances, and a former New South Wales State of Origin representative.<\/p>\n

He admitted there was some thought given to a Super League switch, with links to a move to the Sewell Group Craven Park outfit<\/a>. But ultimately, the decision came down to family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a little bit of thought,\u201d Reynolds revealed on All Out Rugby League’s Back Ten World Club Challenge special<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019ve four kids at home and a wife, and they\u2019re at a stage now where it would be hard to move them again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a big move from Sydney to Brisbane. If I was to come, it\u2019d be on my own unfortunately and that\u2019d be too hard for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could have been a funny story representing Hull KR<\/a> against Brisbane on Thursday, but that\u2019s not to be. I\u2019ve got a great relationship with Willie – if I ever was to come to Super League, it probably would have been underneath him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, Reynolds now prepares to face Peters\u2019 record-breaking Hull KR side at the MKM Stadium, with a global audience expected to tune in for the blockbuster World Club Challenge clash.<\/p>\n

Friendships will be put aside as the two men become rivals, with Brisbane aiming for their third world title and the Robins desperate to make further history by claiming their first.<\/p>\n

The 2026 NRL season will also mark Reynolds\u2019 last in the competition, confirming his plans to hang up the boots and end an illustrious 15-year career<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWillie was a half-back at South Sydney when I was a young fella growing up. I then had him as a coach there for a couple of years as well,\u201d Reynolds continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve a great relationship, and we still talk regularly. I\u2019ve got a lot of respect for him and what he\u2019s done in the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see him come across here, ply his trade and lift Hull KR to success.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect Hull KR to be at their best come Thursday night, they\u2019ve been in a lot of big games over the last 12 months and got the job done. We\u2019re expecting a tough game, and I\u2019m sure Willie will have them up for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
