Broncos fullback Reece Walsh has opened up on the struggles troubling his junior club, the Nerang Roosters. The club — which Walsh declared helped shape him into who he is today — is under intense financial stress, with fears they could fold if no solution is found. After visiting the community, Walsh has issued a call to arms from the broader NRL community to lend a hand. "The club's going through a bit of a tough patch at the moment, some financial stuff," Walsh told 9News' Emma Lawrence. "I thought it's only right for me to get back down here, show face, give a helping hand where I can, and shine a light on the kids, the community and the amazing club that it is." Walsh reflected on what the club has done for his success at the top level. "My whole childhood revolves around this club: my family, my old man, my siblings, my cousins. Every week we were down here after school. It had that real family vibe," he said. "I am who I am today because of the club." "My local junior club are going through a bit of a tough patch at the moment. I'm just trying to help out as much as I can," he said. "If anyone's out there that can help a hand, give a hand to young kids, we'd really appreciate it." "It's not too bad, just a little scratch, Hopefully one or two more weeks," he told Nine of his recovery.
