Brisbane Broncos coach supports Reece Walsh despite criticism for lack of attacking moments in 2025.
Brisbane Broncos coach Michael Maguire has revealed he hasn't told Reece Walsh to rein in his running game after the fullback has been down on attacking moments in 2025. Walsh has been heavily criticised so far this season having only crossed the line for one try and made one linebreak in five games, which were both in the opening round.
Since the thrashing of the Roosters, Walsh has contributed three try assists, but has failed to take on the line as we have come to expect from the dynamic fullback. Walsh was criticised after the Raiders and Cowboys games having appeared to rush his attacking execution.
Last year in 14 games, Walsh recorded 14 tries and 18 try assists. And while his numbers are down, the 22-year-old has started to find his feet in Maguire's Broncos system. Ben Hunt is now controlling the left-side of the field and Walsh has contributed three try assists in the last three games.
