PLAYER Reece Walsh

[BroncsFan]

What's going on here?

Poor from Reece, Mariner and Riki... Reynolds got stepped, but Riki should've done better coming from the inside.

Walsh overcommitting way too hard and gave Kris any easy run to the line

Look at them all in the middle, bunched up and walking. Zero sense of urgency, nobody sliding.

As much as the edge defence missed one on one tackles, a lot of our issues started in the middle and left too much space on the edges.

No idea what caused it. Maybe Billy did more to organise the middle defence than I thought, or maybe they are all just still unfit and struggled on a hot day, maybe it’s bad defence coaching or habits built last year. Walsh not communicating in defence? Not sure but it’s a real concern

Good point... definitely not enough urgency to keep pushing from the inside... Payne walking the entire time is not a good look from someone in the leadership group, at least Kobe kept his feet moving the whole time and actually had to run around Payne to get closer to Kris by the time he got to the tryline

that is the fullback defence version of asking someone a question with two options and they just reply “yes”

Nice to see the Darius legacy carried through .

You obviously don't own a supercoach team.

Don't worry I have him in my team but I also have Jessie Arthur's. Haas is coming in this week before his price booms.

Fullbacks need to be organising. I doubt Reece isnt vocal, but i dont think he has a clue how to organise the blokes in front of him. I was never in favour of giving a bloke with half a skill set to his game a huge contract, and i'm still not happy with it. Another instance of us giving a player a contract he isnt worth because we are so afraid to lose them.

All i am hoping is this is a bit of a wake up call and he can become the player we need him to be. I think too many people have been carried away with his attacking brilliance and its papered over his defence because he's just top level as an attacker.

We dont want to go in and crucify him because he's got the talent, but he's almost 23 with over 80 games of first grade and Origin under his belt, he's not an inexperienced player. He needs to start delivering on the less flashy parts of his game.

It's the giving up on the plays that are most concerning. Really un-Slater like.

Yep totally agree, unlike some others I do think there is some definite cause for concern. It was a bad sign in round 1 when he botched a simple try with 3 support players around him by trying to run around Tedesco. Gonna be very interesting to see how he plays this week.

Paul Crawley highlighted Will Kennedy's poor defensive efforts in Vegas on 360 and I don't think they were as bad as Walsh vs the raiders..

It was all time shocking but I still can't believe that Starling one was given a try. It could not have been clearer coming off an offside player.
