  "summary": "The Brisbane Broncos have ruled out Adam Reynolds for his final appearance at Suncorp Stadium. Reynolds, the team's captain, had hoped to play one last home game against the Melbourne Storm but failed a fitness test due to a calf injury.\n\nThe decision has been met with criticism from fans, teammates, and rival players. Reynolds had planned to bid farewell to the stadium he has called home since 2022 but will instead end his NRL career sidelined by injury.\n\nReynolds, 36, has had a long career, playing 15 seasons in the NRL. He is a two-time premiership winner, having won with South Sydney in 2014 and Brisbane in 2025, and has also represented his state in Origin. According to ABC News, Reynolds confirmed 2026 would be his last year in the league before the season started.",
