Adam Reynolds' future at South Sydney is clouded after the club signed reigning Queensland Cup player of the year
Cody Walker.
Reynolds is contracted until the end of 2015 but it is understood the Rabbitohs wouldn't stand in his way if he wanted an early release. The local junior burst onto the scene in 2012 as a replacement for
Chris Sandow and has been a constant fixture in first grade ever since.
However, youngster
Luke Keary was slated as a long-term halves option before suffering a season-ending injury. There will be more competition for spots next year when Melbourne recruit Walker joins Keary,
Dylan Walker and
John Sutton as contenders for the No.6 and No.7 jerseys.
The Bunnies tried to get Walker on a mid-season transfer but the Storm blocked the move, with the move not happening until the end of the season. Walker is considered a star in the making and would have already made his NRL debut if not for an ill-timed hamstring injury.
The pivot was the leading point scorer in the Intrust Super Cup last year despite missing the opening nine games through injury.
While you can expect denials from Souths, there are doubts within the club about whether Reynolds is the man to lead them to a grand final after falling just short in recent years. It wouldn't surprise to see a club like Canberra target him if he became a free agent early.
