South Sydney skipper Adam Reynolds has given the strongest indication yet that he'll be right to go for Sunday's grand final<\/a>, saying he was "all good" on the injury front.<\/p>\n

"It's good, I trained with the team yesterday and got through that session pretty good. Get through captain's run tomorrow and go from there."<\/p>\n

A groin injury meant Reynolds delegated the goalkicking duties to boom rookie Blake Taaffe in the win over Manly, but he said he'd be right to resume that role this weekend.<\/p>\n

"I'm pretty confident. I'll do a few reps tomorrow and see how it feels but overall, pretty happy with how it's going."<\/p>\n

Taaffe performed admirably in Reynolds' absence, nailing a couple of tough ones, but still missed three from seven.<\/p>\n

"He's one of the best goalkickers in the game," coach Wayne Bennett said of his halfback.<\/p>\n

\"Issac\u00a0Luke\u00a0to\u00a0ring\u00a0iconic\u00a0foundation\u00a0bell\u00a0before\u00a0Sunday\u2019s\u00a0grand\u00a0final\"<\/p>\n

"He's first choice, but if not that's fine."<\/p>\n

It's been an emotional week for Reynolds, who will play his last game for his boyhood club, regardless of the result.<\/p>\n

"It's been an enjoyable week – the supporters, no matter where you go, they always turn up in numbers and up here's no different. They've been fantastic," Reynolds said.<\/p>\n

Reynolds rejected the assertion that he was feeling more love in the Olympic City due to his impending move to the Broncos for 2022.<\/p>\n

"We've got Souths fans everywhere and they've been supportive," he said.<\/p>\n
