«Breaking News» Reynolds confident of next NRL final game

South Sydney halfback Adam Reynolds revealed he needed a painkilling injection to finish their finals loss to Melbourne but is confident of playing in next week's must-win semi-final.

Reynolds was clutching at his shoulder following a heavy tackle by Storm hitman Felise Kaufusi late in the first half on Friday night.

But the former NSW No.7 then rushed from the field moments before halftime after being cleaned up by Storm prop Christian Welch not long after.

Reynolds initially thought he had busted his shoulder but was treated in the dressing rooms during the break and took his place on-field in the second half.

"Kaufisi did it but Christian Welch got me a beauty after that as well. It's a game of football, you cop the bumps and bruises and move on," he said.

"I copped a whack and the shoulder is a bit sore but I got through the second half all right.

"It felt like something happened in there. The doctor said it was alright so I got out there and finished the game."

Asked what treatment he received from the medical staff, Reynolds said: "Just got needled up, not too much other than that."

The 28-year-old was on the end of a number of big collisions with Storm players, including a dangerous shot by winger Josh Addo-Carr that ended in a penalty.

Reynolds admitted it was a dangerous ploy to attack the kickers' legs but stopped short of suggesting the referees should've been more stringent on the shots.

"It becomes dangerous," he said.

"There were a couple of times there I thought it could have gone either way but it's up to the refs to decide. I'm not a ref. They've got a tough job to do. It's a game of footy."

The loss of Reynolds would be a potentially fatal blow to the Rabbitohs' premiership hopes, with back-up playmaker Adam Doueihi out for the year with an ACL injury.

The Rabbitohs also don't have a recognised back-up goalkicker.

However the 28-year-old insisted he would be fit to play their semi-final against the winner of the elimination final between St George Illawarra and Brisbane.

"We've got a good medical staff here. They look after us thoroughly throughout the week and I'll be ready to go next week," Reynolds said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
