Brisbane Broncos furious as Reece Walsh sparks 'scorpion' controversy
Reece Walsh at centre of 'scorpion' storm as Brisbane Broncos left fuming
The Brisbane Broncos have reportedly lodged a complaint with the NRL after Reece Walsh was allegedly on the receiving end of a so-called 'scorpion' tackle against the Cowboys last weekend. Walsh was seen wincing in pain after having his leg tucked up behind him in a tackle from Coen Hess - much like the way a scorpion's tail curls up.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Broncos officials are fuming over Hess' actions and have called on the NRL to look into it. But the Cowboys are said to be fuming over the allegation and have denied it was intentional.
