Brad Fittler has delivered a blunt verdict on the Adam Reynolds retirement saga, arguing the outgoing Brisbane Broncos captain has no automatic right to a farewell game.
The former NSW Blues coach and NRL identity made his position clear, pushing back against any expectation that Reynolds should be handed a send-off match as he prepares to walk away from the game.
Reynolds has served as Broncos captain and is set to retire, but Fittler's view is straightforward — a farewell appearance is not something a player is simply owed, regardless of their standing at a club.
The comments add a sharp edge to the ongoing discussion surrounding Reynolds' exit from the game and how Brisbane will manage his departure in the final stages of the season.
