Reece Walsh’s vulnerability has been exposed as the Broncos confront the harsh reality of the NRL star’s situation.

The Brisbane Broncos’ attacking coach has disclosed the club’s strategy to address Reece Walsh’s tendency to make errors by slowing down his running speed during games. Walsh, known for his incredible speed, sometimes rushes decisions, leading to mistakes.

Despite being the fastest player in the NRL at times, Walsh led the league in errors last season, with 53, including 50 handling errors. The Broncos are working to minimize these errors while still capitalizing on Walsh’s speed and talent. Coach Lee Briers explained that they are trying to slow down Walsh’s feet, not his thinking, so he can make more considered decisions on the field.

This adjustment aims to harness Walsh’s exceptional football intelligence while reducing the pressure of making split-second choices at high speeds. Briers emphasized Walsh’s potential, describing him as a “superstar” and highlighting his outstanding performance in a recent match against the Raiders. Despite Walsh’s errors, he has been a standout player, with his speed and skill making him a key player for the Broncos and Queensland Maroons.
