Reynolds shocked the NRL world on Thursday afternoon, revealing the Tigers had been in contact regarding a potential move.

“It’s about trying to work through certain scenarios, and keep a lot of (Broncos) players at the club, which isn’t easy,” he said on Triple M.
“There’s obviously talk about, but for me I’m trying to secure my future here at the Broncos.”
Reynolds preference is to remain at the Broncos, however he could reportedly earn north of $700,000 on the open market.
