Reece Walsh’s photo detail becomes visible following criticism of Kevin Walters over the Broncos move.
A new social media post from renowned ‘NRL Physio’ Brien Seeney has shed light on the Reece Walsh situation at the Broncos that sparked backlash against coach Kevin Walters. The Brisbane coach came under fire for deciding to rest Walsh, Payne Haas and Patrick Carrigan after State of Origin Game 2, with the Broncos then going down 32-16 to the Warriors in the NRL on Saturday.
It was the Broncos’ fourth consecutive defeat and sees them drop out of the top-eight into 10th spot on the ladder, leaving their NRL finals hopes hanging in the balance. The Broncos now face a grand final rematch against a Penrith side desperate to bounce back from a shock home defeat to the Cowboys, with all three of Walters’ Origin stars returning for the Friday night showdown at Suncorp Stadium.
Some critics understood the decision to rest forwards Carrigan and Haas – who has been sidelined with a knee injury for large stretches of the season already.
But many fans were left baffled by Walters’ decision give Walsh a rest after a very quiet Game 2 for the Maroons at the MCG – especially when Brisbane need to bank wins to assure themselves of a top-eight finish and finals footy in 2024.
Walters did not really go into any more detail other than to say he thought the Origin players needed a rest and he’d done it successfully during last year’s series. But the ‘NRL Physio’ has provided more evidence to back up the decision to rest Walsh after revealing that the livelire fullback suffered a hand injury in the Maroons’ loss.
