Brisbane’s fullback Tristan Sailor has gained valuable insights into custodian play from the injured Reece Walsh, but eagerly anticipates the opportunity to play alongside him upon his return from a facial fracture.

During the 38-12 victory over North Queensland, Sailor delivered a solid performance while Walsh observed from the coach’s box high in the Suncorp Stadium stands.

With Walsh expected to return in two weeks and reclaim his fullback position, Sailor, who possesses versatility across multiple positions in the backline, aims to secure a bench utility role instead of returning to Queensland Cup.

In the recent game against the Cowboys, Corey Oates showcased his versatility in that role, while Tyson Smoothy served as the bench hooker.

“I would love to secure a bench spot or something like that,” Sailor expressed. “Smoothy and Oatesy performed admirably tonight. Hopefully, I can find a spot on the bench, and the key is to maintain good form.”

Sailor, known for his electric speed, refined skills, and precise kicking game, dedicated the preseason to improving his defensive abilities by training alongside Walsh.

“Walshy has been a tremendous influence on my game,” Sailor acknowledged. “Our training sessions, where we often play against each other, challenge us with various strategies and defensive tactics. This has undoubtedly contributed to my improvement.”

Sailor also appreciated Walsh’s support behind the scenes, highlighting his positive attitude despite his injury setback.

“Walshy’s encouragement means a lot to me,” Sailor revealed. “Despite his injury, he’s been incredibly supportive and excited for my progress. It speaks volumes about his character.”

Coach Kevin Walters’ backing has further boosted Sailor’s confidence to showcase his skills and flair, which he intends to demonstrate in the upcoming match against Melbourne.

“Kev allows us to express ourselves on the field,” Sailor acknowledged. “This freedom is evident in our performances. Ezra (Mam), Walshy, and myself thrive on this freedom, and it reflects in our gameplay.”

Sailor concluded, “We may make mistakes at times, but those errors contribute to our growth as players. Ultimately, we’re all better players for it, and it shows on the field.”
