Shaun Johnson calls for support for Reece Walsh, who struggled in recent games but has potential.
NRL great Shaun Johnson has called for the likes of Ben Hunt and Adam Reynolds to show Reece Walsh plenty of support having backed the 22-year-old to find his form. All eyes were on Walsh heading into the Cowboys game on Friday night after a poor display against the Canberra Raiders the following week.
Plenty has been made about his game of late with the rocks and diamonds performances drawing criticism from NRL fans. And despite some moments of class against the Cowboys in the 26-16 win, Walsh struggled again making five errors and producing a range of rushed passes.
While Walsh was industrious and put plenty of effort in during a solid Broncos defensive effort, he looked frustrated when his plays didn't work. Walsh made his name in the game for his fast-feet, dazzling runs and effortless passing where the game seemed to slow down for him.
