Eight from Eight
Adam Reynolds had a perfect night with the boot in Brisbane, kicking eight goals from eight attempts – five conversions and three penalty goals – from all angles on the pitch. But it wasn’t just Reynolds’ accuracy that was impressive, the number seven also managing to slot one from a whopping 51 metres out to round out the match.
Top Tackle Breaks
Adam Reynolds played with plenty of confidence in the opening round clash, taking on the defence with plenty of purpose. Reynolds used all of his 85kg to break five tackles during the match. Reynolds’ new-found willingness to take on the line will no doubt cause plenty of problems for oppositions in the coming weeks.
Adam Reynolds – 5
Dylan Walker – 5
Alex Johnston – 3
John Sutton – 3
Bryson Goodwin – 2
Greg Inglis - 2
