Breaking News: Hard Luck for Him as Scans Revealed! Storm Halves Shine Brighter Than Ever
Adam Reynolds of Brisbane is lucky not to have suffered another knee injury, but he still needs scans for a hamstring problem that left him distraught during his team’s close loss to Melbourne.
The Broncos’ eight-point advantage over the Storm vanished in the second half, forcing Reynolds to watch from the sidelines at AAMI Park. The home team scored twice in the last minutes to win 34–32 against the Storm on Thursday night.
The seasoned player’s kicking ability had been crucial in his team’s two-point lead at the break, setting them up for their first victory in Melbourne since 2016.
When Reynolds appeared in tears in the changing room at halftime, Brisbane supporters were worried he had suffered a major knee injury. Reynolds smashed the turf in fury and hobbled off.

Though he wasn’t sure how long he would be sidelined, the halfback said it was his hamstring and not his knee.
“It just became more intense in the first half,” he remarked following the game.
“At halftime, I didn’t feel so good, but I’ll return to Brisbane, get scanned, and proceed from there.
I started to feel it early in the game, and it grew worse over time. I noticed some space on the short side and attempted to take off, but it didn’t feel very comfortable there. I was hoping to make it through to halftime to find out where I was.”
Reynolds’ health will be a concern for the Broncos, but Melbourne No. 7 Jahrome Hughes was crucial to his team’s victory, scoring a late try and setting up two more.
Hughes’s one-game suspension for making contact with the referee prevented him from participating in the Storm’s loss against Newcastle.
According to Storm coach Craig Bellamy, his halfback needed to make a statement.
Bellamy stated, “Missing the last week was upsetting not just for us but also for him.
“We felt it was a difficult decision to skip that week, and I believe he had a little point to make.
“He wanted to make up for that and he did, he did a great job for us.”
Bellamy was ecstatic about Cameron Munster’s performance as well, considering that the star five-eighth was playing in his first game of the year following a mysterious groin injury.
Munster didn’t do anything wrong, but it was a modest performance by his own high standards.
Bellamy responded, “I thought he was real good, I’d give him an A,” when asked what grade he would award Munster upon his return. “He didn’t act rashly, and I felt he did a good job defending himself.
Although he didn’t always make the best kicks, it’s nice to have him back because he made the proper decisions when needed.
“You’d like to think now that he’s going to just get better with a bit more match fitness, and a bit more training.”
