Reece Walsh under pressure after poor performance
Brisbane Broncos fullback Reece Walsh is under pressure after a poor performance against the Canberra Raiders. In that game, Walsh made several errors and missed tackles, which led to criticism of his play. His teammates are confident he will bounce back in their upcoming match against the Cowboys. Winger Jesse Arthars spoke about Walsh's work ethic, saying he is hard on himself and holds high standards. Arthars believes Walsh will aim for a much better performance this weekend. Forward Patrick Carrigan echoed this support, saying Walsh is dedicated to improving his game after the loss. Carrigan reassured fans that Walsh is capable of great things. In other news, Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary was not in a mood to discuss his team's recent loss to the Roosters. He emphasized that he has moved on and is focused on their next challenge against the Storm. Cleary stated he won’t talk about team plans related to injuries, especially with fullback Dylan Edwards out for about a month. Cleary made it clear that the focus is entirely on improving as they prepare for the match. Penrith won against the Storm in last year’s grand final but faces a tough opponent this time. The competition between the two teams has been close, with Penrith leading the series since their victory in 2021.
