Reece Walsh’s anticipated return to the Brisbane Broncos lineup has encountered a significant setback, casting doubt on his participation in the upcoming NRL fixtures. Initially sidelined five weeks ago due to a knee injury sustained against the Warriors, Walsh was expected to make a comeback this weekend. However, recent reports indicate that he has experienced renewed soreness in the affected knee, prompting concerns about his readiness for the match against the Sea Eagles
Head coach Michael Maguire remains cautiously optimistic, with a final decision on Walsh’s availability pending after Friday’s captain’s run. In the interim, Selwyn Cobbo, who has been filling in for Walsh, has been cleared of a suspected wrist fracture and may continue at fullback if needed
This development adds to the Broncos’ injury woes, as the team has struggled with form, losing six of their last seven games and currently sitting 11th on the ladder . The absence of key players like Walsh has further strained the team’s performance, highlighting the challenges faced by the Broncos as they navigate the remainder of the season.
