The club today maintained its hard stance by only offering the 2014 premiership winner just a one-year deal, which could now force Reynolds to walk out on the club according to a Sydney Morning Herald report<\/a>.<\/p>\n It's understood Reynolds has dropped his demands from a three-year deal to a two-year deal, but with the club refusing to budge following a meeting held yesterday, the playmaker could now test his value on the open market.<\/p>\n The report states the Rabbitohs have reiterated to Reynolds' management that they can revisit another extension in 12 months' time, and even move players on if necessary.<\/p>\n However, the club is wary that it could potentially cripple its salary cap if they offer a long-term deal now and things don't work out.<\/p>\n According to Nine's NRL reporter, Danny Weidler, the contract standoff has left Reynolds feeling disgruntled by his club's actions<\/a> after rumours swirled that the Rabbitohs were lessening his value to rival teams.<\/p>\n "There's growing anger from Reynolds that Souths are trying to lessen his value by implying he has ongoing injury issues," Weidler told Nine News Sydney.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
