His speed has set the NRL alight in 2024 - but the Broncos have made the stunning admission that they want Reece Walsh to actually slow down his game. Walsh is the form player in the league, tearing teams apart with his electrifying pace. But the flying fullback also led the NRL in errors last season - and that is what the club is wary of. "He does everything really quick - that's his strength but it's also his weakness," assistant coach Lee Briers told the BBC league podcast. "As we know the older you get, the game slows down on you. "We're not trying to slow his head down, but slow his feet down a bit so when he's got the ball he can make decisions a little easier. "With Reece it's all 100mph so he has to make them decisions at 100mph, if we can just pull him back a bit then - because his football brain is awesome. "He just thinks really quick and wants to move on quicker than anybody else and sometimes you just have to pull him back, pull him back and then let him go on the weekend… he's an absolute superstar." Walsh's error rate has dropped markedly this season, so the Broncos may well have found the secret to getting the best out of their pocket rocket.
