  "summary": "The Brisbane Broncos have ruled out Adam Reynolds for their final home game of the season against the Melbourne Storm. Reynolds had hoped to play one last game at Suncorp Stadium, where he has played since 2022, but failed a fitness test due to a calf injury.\n\nThe decision has been criticised by fans, teammates, and rival players, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. Reynolds had planned to end his career with a farewell appearance, but will instead finish his final season on the sidelines.\n\nReynolds, 36, has had a long and successful career, winning two premierships - one with South Sydney in 2014 and one with Brisbane in 2025 - and representing his state in Origin. He had announced that 2026 would be his final season before the current year began.",
