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常客, 固定阵容 in first grade ever since. 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明日之星 and would have already made his NRL debut if not for an ill-timed时机不佳的 hamstring injury. The pivot was the leading point scorer得分手 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.
