Synopsis: Redfern grit, Rabbitohs glory, Broncos pride – Adam Reynolds breaks his silence.Adam Reynolds is a rugby league icon whose journey began in the heart of Redfern and took him all the way to the top of the NRL. From humble beginnings, Adam grew up surrounded by community, struggle and the relentless rhythm of footy being played on every corner. In this gritty and powerful memoir, Adam shares his rise from a working-class kid with big dreams for a football career, to becoming a premiership-winning playmaker for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, and now captain of the Brisbane Broncos, the NRL&’s most supported club. He opens up like never before about the pressure of leading two of the game&’s most iconic teams, the heartbreak of his controversial Rabbitohs exit, and the rollercoaster ride that followed. For the first time, Adam reveals the personal battles behind the headlines – his family&’s hidden struggles, the marital crisis that nearly broke him, and how legendary coach Wayne Bennett helped pull him back from the brink. He also sets the record straight on that infamous fight with a teammate on the eve of flying to Vegas. Full of raw emotion, humour and unforgettable moments, this is a story about identity, loyalty and the unbreakable bond between a player and the game that gave him everything.
