Billy Walters fears salary cap issues may push him out of Brisbane as he aims for a return next month.
Billy Walters has spoken about his fear of being squeezed out of Brisbane by the club's salary cap crunch and the bittersweet photograph that is fuelling his quest for a fairytale Broncos premiership.
Walters is aiming to return to the field next month after being sidelined since last September following an innocuous injury in Brisbane's dramatic finals clash with Canberra.
In the form of his life, Walters finished the golden-point thriller against the Raiders before scans revealed he required a second knee reconstruction and would take no further part in Brisbane's title quest.
It was a shattering blow for Walters - son of Broncos legend and five-time premiership player Kevin Walters - who had fought so hard to get himself into the mix for an NRL title.
Billy watched from the sidelines as the Reece Walsh-inspired Broncos went on a stunning run to snap Brisbane's 19-year NRL premiership drought.
