Locked in! Wests Tigers miss another target as Adam Reynolds commits to the Broncos until end of 2026
Veteran halfback Adam Reynolds will finish his NRL career at the Broncos after he penned a new one-year deal, with Brisbane also re-signing Kotoni Staggs and young gun Blake Mozer. Reynolds, 34, had been linked with a potential move to the Wests Tigers, but those rumours have officially been quashed with the skipper to stay put until the end of the 2026 season. Reynolds will be 36 when that deal expires, with the champion playmaker expected to take up a coaching role with the club when he hangs up his boots. He has previously stated he loves the lifestyle in Brisbane following his move from the Rabbitohs after losing the 2021 Grand Final. 'The club and city have welcomed me and my family with open arms, family means everything to me and this is home,' he said. 'We are really building something special here and I want to be a part of that moving forward. With his family settled in Brisbane, Reynolds felt it was 'too hard' to base himself in Sydney next year if playing for the Wests Tigers (pictured, with his partner Tallara Simon-Phillips) 'To be able to finish my career at the club which has given me so much over the past few seasons means a lot to me.' Tigers fans were hopeful Reynolds would join the club - and it is understood the playmaker has sacrificed up to $1million by staying put in Brisbane. The joint venture club are looking for stability in the halves following the departure of young gun Lachlan Galvin to the Bulldogs. 'Yes, I was seriously tempted,' Reynolds said recently. 'Benji (Marshall) is a great coach, I've always had a lot of time for him – I idolised him as a player when I was growing up. 'But at the end of the day, family is the most important thing, and if I did leave for Sydney, it would have been without the family, and that was going to be too hard. 'The Tigers have a great spine, and I spoke to Benji about how me and Jarome (Luai) could have worked. 'He's an instinctive player who brings a lot of energy and plays off the cuff, while I'm that organising half. 'The biggest thing for me was I believed I could have added a lot to that team.' Meanwhile, Staggs has inked a three-year extension that will keep him at Red Hill until the end of 2028. It could spell the end of Selwyn Cobbo's time at the club, especially given he is currently out of favour at NRL level. The club also re-signed Blake Mozer for a further two seasons, with big things expected of the hooker who joined the team's junior development program when he was just 13.

‘Building something special': Adam Reynolds to finish career at Broncos as club goes on re-signing spree
Veteran halfback Adam Reynolds will finish his NRL career at the Broncos after he penned a new one-year deal, with Brisbane also re-signing Kotoni Staggs and Blake Mozer, putting pressure on the club to keep Selwyn Cobbo. Reynolds had been linked with a potential move to the Wests Tigers, but those rumours have officially been quashed with the Broncos skipper to stay put until the end of the 2026 season. Reynolds will be 36 when that deal expires, with the champion playmaker expected to take up a coaching role with the club when he hangs up the boots after falling in love with the area following his move from Souths ahead of the 2022 season. 'The club and city have welcomed me and my family with open arms, family means everything to me and this is home,' he said. 'We are really building something special here and I want to be a part of that moving forward. 'To be able to finish my career at the club which has given me so much over the past few seasons means a lot to me.' Meanwhile, Staggs has signed a three-year extension that will keep him at the Broncos until the end of the 2028 season. The powerful centre's intention was always to stay, although the decision to keep Staggs could spell the end of Cobbo's career in Brisbane given he's lost his spot in the NRL side and will command big bucks on the open market. 'I'm grateful to be able to stay with the club that has supported me since I was a kid and stuck by me as I developed as a player and person,' Staggs said. 'It means a lot to play in the Broncos jersey, every time I put it on I wear it with heart and leave everything on the field.' The club also re-signed young hooker Blake Mozer for a further two seasons, with big things expected of a young man who joined the team's junior development program when he was just 13. 'Reyno has led from the front since he joined in 2022, and I'm delighted that he'll continue on in 2026,' Broncos chief executive Dave Donaghy said. 'Kotoni began his journey at the Broncos as a young teenager and it's been a pleasure to watch him grow into the leader he is today. 'Blake has progressed through the Academy program and has grown with the club's values, ensuring he will play a big role in the Broncos' sustained success.'

Selwyn Cobbo facing dire situation as Broncos agree on $3.5m deals with teammates
Selwyn Cobbo's hopes of remaining in Brisbane have taken a crushing new blow, with reports the Broncos have extended the contracts of three players in a $3.5 million retention blitz. Cobbo is on around $650,000 this season but a salary cap crunch at the club has left his future in doubt and the Broncos are yet to table the off-contract star a fresh deal after prioritising other players. And in a further setback for the former Origin star, Brisbane have now locked down three of his teammates in a move that looks set to push Cobbo out of the club, unless he agrees to take a significant pay cut to stay. According to , Brisbane have finalised extensions for captain Adam Reynolds, gun centre Kotoni Staggs and promising young hooker, Blake Mozer. It emerged last week that Reynolds snubbed a two-year, $1.5 million move to the Wests Tigers to stay in Brisbane, where he's settled with his wife and four kids. Reynolds has turned down around $1 million and an extra year to pen a one-year extension with the Broncos. 'There were quite a number of clubs that showed interest in 'Reyno',' Brisbane coach Michael Maguire told The Courier Mail after confirming Reynolds' extension. 'Reyno has shown that he wants to stay and achieve what he came to the club to achieve, which is winning a premiership... I have no doubt he can play for another 12 months."

In a further boost for the Broncos ahead of Sunday's home game against the Sharks, the club has also finalised a three-year extension for Staggs, worth around $800,000 per season. Staggs won the Allan Langer Award as the club's best back last season and Maguire elevated him to Brisbane's leadership group in 2025 shortly after taking over as coach. 'He has developed a lot as a person and over the last two or three months I've seen him step up as a leader," Maguire said. 'He is great in team meetings, he is vocal and is setting the standards of what we want to achieve here.' The Broncos have also moved to lock down young hooker Mozer for two more seasons. Mozer has played nine NRL games since debuting in 2023 and was in the mix to be Brisbane's first-choice dummy half at the start of the year but suffered a shoulder injury in pre-season and is yet to feature in 2025. Reynolds, Staggs, Mozer. Brisbane go on an extension spree. Reynolds for 12 months, Staggs until 2028 while Mozer is staying put until 2027. Three big coups for Brisbane !! — The League Scene (@LeagueScenePod) June 19, 2025 What Brisbane's multi-million dollar extensions mean for Cobbo remains to be seen though. The former Maroons star's future was already in jeopardy before he was dropped for Brisbane's big win over the Titans in round 14. And Cobbo was again left out of the Broncos' squad for Sunday's game against Cronulla. With Josiah Karapani impressing as Cobbo's replacement on the wing, it appears as though Cobbo could be set for an extended stint in reserve grade. And it only raises the likelihood of a big-money move away from Brisbane. It's understood Cobbo sees himself as a fullback and could potentially command offers in excess of $900,000 per season if he did choose to join a rival club. Cobbo's management have reportedly been sounding out interest from rival clubs and are keen to sort out his future in the coming months, with the Dragons, Roosters and Tigers among those linked with a move for the 23-year-old. There is also the possibility that Cobbo could sign a one-year extension at Brisbane on a reduced salary, before chasing the riches on offer at expansion teams Perth or Papua New Guinea.
