Walsh struggles with confidence as Ponga competes for Maroons jersey, teammates support him despite errors.
Former Broncos coach Kevin Walters has revealed Reece Walsh's desire to become the best fullback in the game could be weighing on him as Kalyn Ponga mounts his case to take the Maroons jersey. Walsh appears low on confidence wearing the Broncos No.1 jersey having followed up his tough game against the Raiders last week with another below-par game on Friday night.
Walsh's teammates backed him to return to his electric running game against the Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium and it appeared the 22-year-old was set to have a blinder having turned the tide with a tremendous 40/20. Although Walsh's night was all rocks and diamonds from there.
The fullback finished with five errors, pushed a number of needless passes to the wingers and struggled to ignite the attack. He also ran for 137 metres, provided a lovely try-assist for Jesse Arthars and was everywhere in defence.
