“It was a bit of a monkey off the back,” Walters said.
“I got over early, it gave me a lot of confidence.
“It was pretty cool scoring there with a lot of friends, family and Broncos teammates here. I’m glad I had something to show them.”
Walters admitted he is ready if Maguire calls on him for Brisbane’s clash against Cronulla next week, but is equally happy to continue building match fitness if required.
“I suppose that’s a chat to have with Madge,” he said.
“If he needs me or wants me in there, I’ll gladly put my hand up.
“But I’m also happy building my game down here if that’s what he thinks is best. We’ll just take it week by week.”
