Michael Maguire downplays Walsh's headbutt; Broncos win 29-28 after trailing 28-12.

The Canberra Times

Michael Maguire has attempted to dismiss Reece Walsh's headbutt of Hudson Young as two players having a "conversation", with the fullback's season now hanging in the balance.

Walsh's wild afternoon headlined the Broncos' epic 29-28 qualifying-final win over Canberra, with Ben Hunt winning the golden-point thriller with a 94th-minute field goal.

Walsh produced arguably the finest seven-minute stretch in finals history to get Brisbane back into the game, after they trailed 28-12 with 14 minutes to play.

Brisbane is anxiously awaiting the outcome regarding charges against lock Pat Carrigan and star fullback Reece Walsh, both of whom were sin-binned during a thrilling qualifying final against Canberra, which the Broncos won 29-28 in golden point.

Carrigan received a sin-bin in the 56th minute and was placed on report for a dangerous tackle on Morgan Smithies, resulting in a category-two HIA for the Raiders player, which he later passed.

Walsh, on the other hand, was penalized just three minutes earlier for leading with his head into a tackle against Hudson Young, who had previously provoked him. Both players found themselves in the sin-bin as a result.
