The Brisbane Broncos have revealed that Reece Walsh wasn’t promised the fullback jumper at the club when he made the switch from the New Zealand Warriors at the back end of last year.
Walsh was involved in a messy release from the Warriors ahead of their move back to Auckland on a fulltime basis, with the star fullback given permission to negotiate with the Broncos, but no other club.
It was a move which left the Dolphins agitated, however, gave the Broncos a headache of their own as Walsh joined a squad which also features Tesi Niu and Herbie Farnworth, although Te Maire Martin has since left to ease some pressure on the race for the number one jersey.
Farnworth’s desire to play at the back is well known, and the English star only signed a one-year deal with the Broncos to extend his time into 2023 earlier this year, while Niu’s future remains under a cloud with a year left to run on his deal at Red Hill.
