Reece Walsh says Brisbane's own 'Latrell' will keep him honest in the years to come as the Broncos have a surplus of top young talent with their eyes set on dethroning Walsh. With the 22-year-old fullback's former deputy Tristan Sailor moving to the UK Super League in search of a regular starting role, Latrell Siegwalt has emerged as the man most likely to replace Walsh as Broncos No.1 when injury or Origin rules Walsh out. Siegwalt has been handed a train-and-trial contract by Broncos coach Michael Maguire and the Indigenous young gun has been joined by Lachie West and Hayze Perham at the club, with the trio battling it out to be Walsh's understudy. However, Walsh knows the trio won't be content with playing back-up long-term and will ultimately have their eyes set on taking his No.1 jersey. "It’s exciting, there’s some really good talent out there," Walsh told The Courier-Mail. "With ‘Tritto’ (Tristan Sailor) going to the UK, I am happy for him and I know he will go over there and kill it. He told me he will be one of the best in the comp. "There’s some good talent here. There’s Latrell, there’s Lachie West and Hayze isn’t back at training yet, but all the boys are hungry and we’ll be pushing each other. I can’t wait to learn from those guys and continue to grow and play good footy together."
