Brisbane Broncos coach Kevin Walters and incoming chief executive Dave Donaghy will fly to Sydney tomorrow to ramp up their pursuit of out-of-contract South Sydney Rabbitohs halfback Adam Reynolds, Nine's Ben Dobbin has reported.
Dobbin reported that Walters and Donaghy were set to offer the Rabbitohs skipper a three-year deal and the captaincy of the club for 2022.
Brisbane's plans come amid Cronulla's push for the former NSW Blues playmaker, who the Sharks' have reportedly offered a three-year deal worth about $2.4 million.
The Broncos are in the market for a long-term halfback after the North Queensland Cowboys signed young No.7 Tom Dearden from 2022.
But Walters was coy on whether the Broncos would have a senior half for 2022.
"The roster at every club is continually being looked at," Walters said in a press conference.
"We see other clubs making changes to theirs. There will be changes to ours and when that happens you will all know.
"We're looking at our roster and we're trying to improve it all the time.
"Are there good players on the market available? Yes, there are. Will we be speaking to those players? Yes, we will."
Rising centre Kotono Staggs is also a major contract concern of the Broncos.
The 22-year-old's contract is set to expire at the end of this year but Brisbane are reportedly intent on retaining him on a long-term deal.
"We're giving Kotoni the time and space that he needs to make the decision that he's comfortable with," Walters said.
"We're happy to move along with that. I'm expecting it to be in the next seven days."
