Wests Tigers Plot Stunning Swoop for Adam Reynolds – Deal Set to Be Finalized Sooner Than Expected!

In a bombshell development that has rocked the NRL landscape, the Wests Tigers are on the verge of pulling off one of the most sensational signings in recent memory — Brisbane Broncos halfback and club captain Adam Reynolds is now firmly in the Tigers’ sights, with insiders suggesting a deal could be finalized sooner than anyone expected.

The 34-year-old veteran, who is currently in the final year of his contract with the Broncos, has reportedly been in secret discussions with Tigers officials over the past fortnight. Multiple sources close to the negotiation table have confirmed that a lucrative two-year deal — with an optional third year — is being drawn up and could be signed off before the end of the month.

This shock swoop comes as the Tigers ramp up their long-term rebuild under new coach Benji Marshall, who has made no secret of his desire to add proven experience to his spine. And in Reynolds, the Tigers would be acquiring not only a former State of Origin playmaker and Premiership-winning half, but also a leader widely respected across the league.

“Reynolds is exactly the sort of player we need to guide this young squad forward,” a senior club figure reportedly told NRL Insider. “His vision, kicking game, and calm under pressure could be the difference between another rebuild and a genuine finals push.”

While Reynolds has publicly expressed a desire to remain at Brisbane, ongoing salary cap constraints and a youth-focused roster refresh have complicated his future. With the Broncos investing heavily in emerging talents like Ezra Mam, Reece Walsh, and Coby Black, the door appears to have been left ajar — and the Tigers are ready to walk through it.

The proposed contract would not only offer Reynolds a major pay bump, but also include post-career development opportunities, such as mentoring and a pathway into coaching — a package believed to be a key factor in the veteran’s growing interest.

Sources close to Reynolds say he is “seriously considering” the Tigers’ offer and has been impressed by Marshall’s vision for the future. “He sees it as an opportunity to finish his career on his terms, with a club hungry to climb the ladder and ready to let him take the reins,” one insider said.

In a twist that could fast-track the deal, the Tigers are also believed to be exploring the possibility of a mid-season switch, which would allow Reynolds to slot into the squad ahead of the finals push — should the club stay in contention. It’s understood that informal talks between the two clubs are already underway, with the Tigers reportedly willing to cover the remainder of Reynolds’ 2025 salary to seal the move.
