Broncos Fullback position is still up for grabs
Coach Kevin Walters has revealed that Reece Walsh is no certainty to play Fullback in Round 1 for the Brisbane Broncos. Selwyn Cobbo and Herbie Farnworth are currently putting pressure on Walsh for the Fullback role.
“You might notice at training Selwyn slots in there (at fullback), because we believe he’s got a big future there as well,” Walters told News Corp.
“Primarily he’s on the wing, but in the future we see him as a centre and possibly a fullback, so it’s about getting the reps in.
“Herbie – we can’t find Herbie, he’s in England somewhere. When he gets back to training next year we’ll give him some reps in that position as well.
“Reece is still only a young footballer and learning about the NRL, but he’s been a great acquisition for us,” Walters said.
“His voice has been strong and he’s quite a strong character as well, so that’s been a positive.
“His energy around the place is very infectious… his combinations he’s working in with our spine has been really positive, both in defence and attack.”
