Veteran Broncos halfback Adam Reynolds has confirmed that the Wests Tigers have reached out regarding a potential move for the 2025 NRL season, following the club’s decision to release rising star Lachlan Galvin early from his contract.
Reynolds, 34, is off contract at the end of the current season and is yet to formally decide on his future. However, the experienced No. 7 has made it clear he is eager to continue playing and is open to offers from rival clubs.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Reynolds acknowledged the Tigers’ interest but said no formal deal had been struck.
“I’ve had some conversations with the Tigers, and they’ve expressed some interest,” Reynolds said. “I haven’t made any decisions yet — my focus is still on the Broncos and finishing the year strong, but I definitely want to play on next year if the opportunity is right.
The Tigers’ interest in Reynolds comes just days after 18-year-old Lachlan Galvin was granted an early release from the final two years of his contract. Galvin, viewed as one of the club’s brightest young prospects, had reportedly grown frustrated with the direction of the team and sought a fresh start.
With Galvin’s departure leaving a significant gap in the halves, the Tigers are now exploring experienced options to steer the team in 2025 — and Reynolds, a premiership-winning playmaker with 280 NRL games under his belt, fits the bill.
Meanwhile, the Sydney Roosters are locked in a battle to retain one of their rising stars, with reports suggesting they are preparing a $700,000-a-year offer to fend off rival interest. The identity of the player has not been confirmed, but insiders believe the club is determined to secure the future of one of their key young talents amid growing salary cap pressure.
The Roosters’ front office is juggling a delicate balance, with several big-name players already commanding premium salaries. Retaining young stars without exceeding the cap will be a major test for the Tricolours’ recruitment team heading into the offseason.
As the player market heats up, both the Tigers and Roosters find themselves at the center of key negotiations that could shape their fortunes for years to come.
